Request automatic alias for ubuntu-make

store

Hi.
The ubuntu-make snap has the umake command to run it.
How can I enable an alias from ubuntu-make.umake to umake?
This would bring it closer to the apt version.

You can create a manual alias:

$ snap alias ubuntu-make.umake umake

If you want this to happen automatically you need to request an automatic alias, for which I think you need to be a developer of the snap.

I am a developer of the snap, and of the program. I’d like to request an automatic alias, I’m not sure how…Here on the forum?

EDIT: Also, now if I type umake with it not installed, this pops up:

Command ‘umake’ not found, but can be installed with:

sudo apt install ubuntu-make

Would this work with the snap alias as well?

Ah, snap info ubuntu-make says the publisher is @didrocks, but ok.

Yes, the way to ask for an alias is what you just did :smiley:

command-not-found integration with snap is landing in bionic, so there, yes. Not elsewhere though.

EDIT: FWIW,

Yes, I noticed that it works with some snaps. (I’m running bionic beta-2 at the moment). I’m one of the developers… :slight_smile: I’ll look at that thread now, and wait for replies here then! Thanks!

LyzardKing took the ubuntu-make ownership a while ago, while I didn’t get time to work on it anymore. I did the first snap publications at the time via launchpad commit build, any way to change the snap info results?
