[Suggestion] Add a snap package #88

Closed b16r05 closed 5 years ago

b16r05 commented 5 years ago

Not referencing but... portableapp, deb, rpm, and appimage packages have been already suggested. I don't know if I missed it, but, a snap package would great. If it gets reviewed on OMG Ubuntu, that gets publicity... especially since Ubuntu is a widely used distribution and their snap packages solution used by many other Linux distros.

We will see if this is really needed later, but for the portability purpose AppImage is enough... and to be honest a more advanced portable solution would be Flatpak... From what i know, Snaps are not very aligned with the privacy thing etc.

But later on if any one is willing to add a snap support, why not.

Feel free to add any comment if needed :) :+1:

Just wanted to put this out there. Yes, I also meant flatpak... I was forgetful : ) You know more about snaps privacy issues... probably because of shared libraries. Anyway, sounds like: flatpak>snaps>appimage, if one can actually compare them : )

Yes, wait and see for the moment it's a little too soon to expand the builds
