Support installation via snapd #6

Closed navnavnav closed 2 years ago

navnavnav commented 3 years ago

Currently, Bloom is distributed via a Debian (.deb) package. It is not hosted on any package managers.

I am considering adding support for installing Bloom via snapd - I have already registered the name bloom-debugger on Snapcraft (bloom was taken).

I probably won't begin work on this until there is evidence of demand. Please add a reaction or leave a comment on this issue, if this is something you want.

I've spent this evening looking into the feasibility of creating a 'snap' for Bloom - I have decided that it is not suitable for Bloom, and it would be far too difficult to get it working properly.

Honestly, it would most likely be easier to just maintain a DEB and RPM package. That would cover most Linux users.
