| Feb 1, 2017 at 12:25 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | I guess we are obliged to support it under the "services provided by Canonical" section of the help. However there should be a clear line, ie we should support the building of and installation of snap packages but not the actual usage of the software or any quirks of the underlying OS, similar to the support for the Windows subsystem. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 3:48 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | I'll have to sleep on this because the more I think about it the more areas come up (14.04 just got support for snaps today in an update, for example) -- but I think that the intent of the link from snapcraft to here is for application developers who want to get their software on linux, and we should probably optimize for that; at the end of the day since snapd is free software there's no guarantee that each distro will use it the same, or even the same version, so user-facing support will be a challenge. | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 3:45 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | Also, let's say a Mint user goes and gets the Libreoffice snap because they read it's great, but they zigged instead of zagged when their installer asked to install kernel updates and they're a few revs behind, who would want to support that? | |
| Feb 1, 2017 at 3:43 | comment | added | Jorge Castro | Something to also consider, currently snapcraft only really works well on 16.04 right, so for people who need the help the most (app authors) they probably are on 16.04. This will change at some point but I'm thinking it's best for everyone if we at least try to support the people trying to make snaps, and then client-side support for other distros should perhaps be in the upstream snapcraft.io documentation or another SE? | |
