Download snap updates without applying it until next startup or application launch (like offline updates)

(which it will be by default soon…)

Very nice

@ijohnson

Unfortunately this is not very efficient

Sure, you’ve commented later on the post about how seperating the download phase from the installation phase isn’t trivial either, it’d be nice if things just worked but you’re the experts after all, I can only speak as a user about what’d be ideal, not what might actually work :).

@ijohnson

t effectively will prevent the user from starting a new instance of the snap application while it is being refreshed and displays a pop-up message with a progress bar while the snap is being refreshed and it closes itself after the refresh is done.

Also very nice <3

This is all amazing progress, keeping in mind perfect is the enemy of good enough, so I’m very glad to see this work landing as it’s going to solve a lot of real world problems.

So thanks to all of you who’ve been working on it (and in the ecosystem in general )
