Bow to our savior canonical for this progress, now we're a step closer to the year of linux on the desktop
Sounds like another systemd-type attack against the linux ecosystem desu senpai.
this is literally what linux community was asking for for how long i can remember. http://snapcraft.io/ also those distros supporting :D

you mean:
>ubuntu/arch/gentoo/debian/fedora
?
>Canonical implements their own special version of something because of NIH syndrome
happens at least once a year
>>55079544
Bitch, I will fcuking cut you.
>>55079572
why, because your favorite distro joined in with something that ubuntu proposed? :D
>>55078599
No idiot
>>55081061
Yes NASA

Can we change the default repository or is it over-centralized à la docker-hub/npm/bower/pip/shit ?
>>55081169
And here we have an idiot throwing around accusations about shit he doesn't understand.
Probably also an Arch user for undisclosed reasons.

Whatever you say shlomo
it's like the secure messaging problem.
plenty of ways of doing it, no standard way of doing it.
ubuntu has the marketshare to supersede everyone, but lets see how this turns out.

It would be better if it allowed for a clean, contained install environment with custom install methods instead of just bundling everything like that. A build service could then provide precompiled binaries and the source would be available "for free" when applicable.
>available on Debian Unstable
how long until it's on Debian Stable...
>>55081391
5 years on average.
>>55081391
In testing in a few weeks I guess.
Maybe in Stretch

Apologize.
I tried installing a snap from Ubuntu's software store. You need to signup to Ubuntu One with an email address just to download a snap.
DROPPED
>>55081905
that's not the case on arch
>>55081905
probably in the gooey.
last i installed a snap i didnt have to sign in.
>>55081206
bump. Is the repository clonable or is it centralized?
freecad_4.snap: Squashfs filesystem
well shit, i recently started using squashfs to store/run games out of
might as well consider making those into 'snaps'
>>55081992
It looks like that you can install snaps without root permissions if you have an Ubuntu One account.
>>55079544
>claim: arch supports this
>reality: someone made an AUR package
>>55082271
alright thanks for the update.
>>55082085
>>55081206
saw an older answer and don't know if it still applies, would probably be best to ask in the irc
>>55077549
Poeple that doesn't like snappy have always been providing arguments.
Can the people saying snappy is good actually give arguments about why it is good and why those anti snappy are wrong if they are ?
>>55077549
Pro tip: It's for server virtualization, not desktop.
Mark Shuttleworth seems to have completely lost interest in desktop Linux.
>>55083049
There are many arguments for and against. In fact, the against arguments are altogether weaker than the for arguments. Bottom line is, snappy is a bad implementation of an obvious idea.
>>55083505
so the good argument for snappy is that there are good arguments for snappy
thanks
>>55083533
ok kid
