Has it been considered that an snap refresh --dry-run
might be useful to many?
I have deferred updates, but there might be something cool coming down the pipe. I won’t know unless I actually update, and by then it’s too late, and the only recourse is to revert again. I’d rather not waste time refreshing a snap only to revert it if I’m not ready for the new changes / features / bugs which are introduced. It seems like --dry-run
would be useful here, to produce a text output of what would get updated were I to update now.
I mean, I could probably script this by iterating through every snap I have installed and snap info
them, look at the installed
, tracking
and the channel map and figure out what would get updated. But this feels like something that should exist in snapd / snap.
