Alias request for newsboat/podboat

store
1

The snapcrafters newsboat snap has a command exposed under the namespace as newsboat.podboat. We’d like to request the automatic alias of podboat for this command. The snapcraft.yaml has been altered to add the required stanza:

apps:
  podboat:
    command: usr/local/bin/podboat
    aliases: [podboat]

ref1: https://github.com/snapcrafters/newsboat/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml
ref2: Podboat not loading with newsboat snap

The waiting period is almost over and there are no votes on this alias request!

Since I’m a reviewer, I’ll cast a +1 to alias podboat to point to newsboat.podboat based on the review process:

  • ‘officialness’ of the publisher : snapcrafters is as official as it gets, plus Daniel (hey there) is a well-known and trusted publisher.
  • ‘reasonableness’ of the request. The commands make sense for this snap, and the *boat commands seem pretty unique, as well as non-conflicting with what other snaps might ship, and are not ‘overly broad’.

Cheers,

  • Daniel

OK, the original request was made a week ago, and we have the required number of votes from reviewers (thanks!). I’ve created this alias and it’s now live. Note that the revision of newsboat currently on stable does not define the podboat app, so the alias does not apply there. It will, once you publish a revision with newsboat.podboat to stable.

Cheers,

  • Daniel
