Classic confinement for Sublime Text 3

store
#1

Sublime Text 3 is a very famous text editor. Please allow classic confinement for it.

snap name is sublime-text-3 because the upstream maintains a separate version called sublime-text-2 as well. Also they don’t follow the ordinary version scheme and the name of every release will be sublime-text-3, they differentiate new versions based on their build numbers (current: 3143)

Packaging lives here: https://github.com/om26er/sublime-text-3-snap and again we can move this under snapcrafters. Also I commit to the maintenance of this snap.

Please transfer sublime-text-3 to snapcrafters

@Wimpress We can probably move this to snapcrafters as well.

My only query is, how will we manage updates once this (and android-studio) moves under snapcrafters ?

#3

The requirements for classic are understood. Thank you.

@evan - could you or someone from your team perform the other parts of Process for reviewing classic confinement snaps?

@Wimpress Thanks for doing that. Can you tell when will these snaps get uploaded to the store ? Currently sublime-text-3 is registered under my name, mind moving that under snapcrafters ?

Please transfer sublime-text-3 to snapcrafters covers the name transfer.

#7

@jdstrand I think this and android studio are now good to go.

#8

This one is also under snapcrafters, so if you could approve it…

#9

@popey, can you comment? We need to discuss the policy surrounding the snapcrafters group wrt classic, etc. Perhaps you can create a forum topic?

We discussed this in another thread. Commit access to snapcrafters is limited to Canonical employees. So having sublime text 3 (or other classic snaps) in snapcrafters should meet with the requirements of classic confinement as I understand them.

build.snapcraft is fixed, so if we land it now, we’ll have a release soon.

Ok, thanks. Granting classic. This is now live.

Hi – just curious, why is classic confinement necessary for Sublime Text in particular?

#14

because it is an IDE, like VScode and as such it might need access to header files randomly located on the host machine …
