A user in #ubuntu (irc) claimed a snap in the store “seems deceptive” and wanted to know “whom to report to”
details can be seen at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2018/03/03/%23ubuntu.txt
with first statement at 08:45 (UST) (as i write, it’s not all in logs, but will be shortly)
– key text is (copied from hexchat; not log as not all there yet)
[08:45] <yolozulu> There's a snap package improperly advertising what it is, who do I report to?
[08:51] <guiverc> yolozulu, what is the snap package (sorry I can't find who to report to, email etc)
[08:51] <guiverc> listing it here at least gives a record of your report...
<yolozulu>
@guiverc - bitcoin-qt 1.0.1.1-git-21e45cb torusjkl - Bitcoin Unlimited - The Only Bitcoin Client That Gives You Complete Freedom! – Well, the description is correct, and the version naming is, but the snap package seems deceiving, although I don’t know if intentional.
<yolozulu>
It doesn’t show up in the Ubuntu Software search, so only CLI users would see it, unless snaps are easily isntalled elsewhere.
<guiverc> yolozulu, this irc channel is logged; your statement has thus been logged. if i can find where it should be reported to, they'll get what you just said
<yolozulu>
guiverc: right on, the same user also uploaded - bitcoin v0.15.1 torusjkl - peer-to-peer network based digital currency
<yolozulu>
Which is the proper naming for Bitcoin Core, which initially used the bitcoin / bitcoin-qt naming scheme AFAIK.
<yolozulu>
Proper versioning*
<yolozulu>
bitcoin-qt however shows up first in the snap packaging, which is actually BU / Bitcoin Unlimited
if this is unhelpful/wrong here - let me know and I’ll delete it etc. I can’t provide more. As I was looking for a place to send the user to report (or here) the user left #ubuntu
