There is a live chat to talk to them about considering a Snap package, i suppose explaining why it would be more optimal rather than doing individual packaging for several distros.
I’m grateful for the official firefox snap. But I’d really appreciate also having a (separately installable) firefox-trunk (nightly) snap. Any chance of getting one?
EDIT: I realize that virt-manager as a snap may be a difficult ask. For me, an officialthunderbird snap and an officialfirefox-trunk snap would be higher priorities. But virt-manager and/or aqemu would be nice too.
I would like to see MPC-HC get a snap(it’s windows only but it’s open source).
It’s the best media player I know, and couldn’t find anything that even comes close to it.
This might be a dumb query, but why exactly there is no snap of Chrome?? The most popular web browser and the only one to watch Netflix OOTB. It still requires terminal to install Chrome on Ubuntu…
I came across this one the other day when I was trying to use Pandoc and found out the version in the Ubuntu repos is pretty outdated. It’d be very nice to have a snap version.
From the author of pandoc is gitit which is a small-scale wiki somewhat akin to ikiwiki. I’ve tried backportpackage on gitit previously and wound up with broken pieces in my test PPA. The author encourages the use of cabal install but a snap would be better. This might require classic confinement since it would interact heavily with git/darcs/mercurial.
No worries, you don’t have to use fork-and-rename-me, but I think you’ll find it very useful indeed and, if you follow the steps there, I’ll be able to type in just two commands into Terminal (install and run) in order to test the snap!! and then it’s easier for me to keep it updated as well, since I won’t have to update the git clone and repackage every time you update it!
