KDE Neon Chooses Snap

[G.S.1]

As you can see from KDE’s blog post:

“At the same time we at KDE neon are moving to new packaging format Snaps, a container format which can be used on many Linux distros. Falkon is now built by KDE neon CI and is in the edge channel of the Snap archive.”

https://blog.neon.kde.org/index.php/2017/08/29/great-web-browsing-coming-back-to-kde-with-falkon-new-packaging-formats-coming-to-kde-with-snap/

The “External Repositories” topic unlocks in about 16 hours. Distribution stores might be more necessary than before… maybe…

P.S. If this is old news, sorry. First time I have ever heard of this.

That’s good! It means that we will have the full range of KDE apps readily installable on all snap-enabled distros.

You had a SegFault. That is rare, shouldn’t happen… probably a bug with Snap more than KDE…

[Syntist]
