Looks great @lmauromb !!!! I'll take a deep dive into it.

@lmauromb: I spent some time fiddling around snap builder and reading through the whole snapcraft site.
While it does look like a very interesting product. I found the info on the landing page a bit misleading on first glance: I thought it was a service that published the binaries to different repositories for package managers. It is not really the case, and I have a couple of issues we need to further discuss:
- It requires the user to install
snap
, so they can be able to installplis
... which makes it "yet another package manager" the user needs to have besides the one in their distros, and another package manager we (with your help, maybe?) would need to support. - The common use case of
snap
is to deal with apps that have a lot of dependencies too complex to leave for a package manager to deal with.plis
is rather a single binary file with no dependencies whatsoever. Which leads me to the next point: - effort-vs-benefit / The use base of snap: How many users are using snap vs their distro package managers, such as apt, yum, apk, aur (see #17), etc
I did a quick search on google, but couldn't find anything about the use base for snap. Do you have any info on this?

Dude this is actually like Docker for desktop apps... I feel this is an "chicken or egg" conundrum...

My suggestion came for the future updates of the project; since snap
its your only dependency you can update plis
regularly without the need to rely on things like PPA
s for the Ubuntu family.
Also, as snap
is already installed in Ubuntu and available through the main repos for the major distros (Fedora, Debian, Arch), we can assume that snap
is not a hard dependency to fulfill and many users would not find difficult to install it.
Examples of using snap
for Linux support:
- Terminal editor micro.
- Rocket.Chat.
- Linux Steam Integration
Maybe a better first attempt could be a PR with a snap build, instead of TODO for the next version.
I think I can work on it, and we can discussed it later on. What do you think?

@lmauromb OK! That does sound like a plan!
