Hi,

I would like to request the following automatic alias for the lxi-tools snap:

lxi-gui -> lxi-tools.lxi-gui

Snapcraft:

lxi-tools/lxi-tools.snapcraft/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml

name: lxi-tools
version: '1.21'
summary: Open source LXI tools
description: >
  Lxi-tools is a collection of open source software tools that enables control
  of LXI compatible instruments such as modern oscilloscopes, power supplies,
  spectrum analyzers etc.

grade: stable
confinement: strict
icon: snap/gui/lxi-tools_256x256.png

apps:
  lxi:
    command: usr/bin/lxi
    completer: usr/share/bash-completion/completions/lxi.snap
    plugs: [home, network, avahi-observe]
    aliases: [lxi]
  lxi-gui:
    command: desktop-launch lxi-gui

This file has been truncated. show original

Thanks.

+1 for the auto-alias. ‘lxi-gui’ very clearly refers to lxi, which is provided by the lxi-tools.

Looking for 1 more vote. Thanks.

+1 from me, looking forward to use it with my LXI equipment.

Great, thanks. lxi-tools now features a command line and a GUI application - so best of both worlds

However, the QT widgets does not look its best with the 16.04 LTS core image - I hope that will solve itself when a 18.04 LTS core image will be introduced.

Alias accepted?

I notice a warning during snap build that aliases are no longer required defined in the snapcraft.yaml - should I remove it?

Any updates? Thanks.

7 days have passed with one vote from a reviewer (and one from a community member). Note enough votes to tally.

@niemeyer, @evan, @kyrofa, @roadmr, @ratliff - can one/all of you vote on this alias request?

kyrofa · February 12, 2018, 3:56pm

Yeah +1 from me as well.

niemeyer · February 12, 2018, 4:44pm

+1 from me as well… very clear correlation between snap name and requested alias.

3 votes for from reviewers, 1 vote for from community, 0 against. Granting the auto-alias. This is now live.
