How to acquire a reserved name?

Good morning

How can I find out who has reserved a particular snap name to request they release it for use?

Best regards

Daniel

Ask store admins, and they will likely not tell you who has it, but can contact the person on your behalf, I believe. Which snap?

I’ve written a program to sort/ deduplicate a list of ip addresses. I call it ipsort.

Hey @mr_cal I see you’re listed under the admins role. Does this fall under your purview?

bump. I can’t mention admins the role, is there another role i should ping or category I should move this post into?

Hi,

If you try to register the snap, https://snapcraft.io/register-snap, you will get a notice about the name being reserved with a link on how to claim/request a reserved name.

After clicking in that link, you will be presented with the following page:

Please fill out the comment section with the rationale for claiming the reserved name and the store admins will reply back.

Cheers,

Thank you @verterok :+1:

I’ve followed the instructions. Please could you confirm that the form was submitted? I’m not convinced it was.

Hi

Indeed, it doesn’t seem to have been submitted. @Lukewh @steverydz could you take a look? could be a storefront issue?

You can use the old dashboard form in the meantime, similar process but @ https://dashboard.snapcraft.io/register-snap

Cheers

Thank you for confirming.

Submitted as instructed

We’re not getting any errors from the API when submitting the form from our side. @DWD Did you see any errors when you submitted the form?

No, the form merely reverted to a prior screen.

Would you like me to try it again?

Yes please, and could you share a screenshot of where it reverted to? It should have been a page which says: " Thank you for requesting the name ipsort"

It worked this time.

Previously, I think it reverted to the seconds screenshot in verterok’s post How to acquire a reserved name? - #6 by verterok
