Easier installation on linux: snap package #227

Open stardust85 opened 1 month ago

stardust85 commented 1 month ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A more comfortable way to install packages for many linux distributions is snap. It is also easier to create a snap package than a deb package.

Describe the solution you'd like I found an already existing snap for tcping by a user called Aibulat. If we trust him, we can add the installation instruction into the readme: sudo snap install tcping

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative is to use the official deb package, but is is only for debian-based systems.

Hi @stardust85,

Thanks for the context.

Well, I do not know that publisher and I don't even know if that package is the same as what we offer on this repo?

I've never created snap packages but if you are familiar, PRs are welcome.

I tried his tcping and it behaves differently. It looks like a different application with the same name. If we want to use snap, we will have to either call it different or ask snap store to remove the tcping package. Or to get contact to the owner of the snap package and find out why it behaves differently.

I created a snapcraft issue, because there is no contact information to the maintainer. Surprising that email is optional in snapcraft... https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/2076944

I see. Thank you so much for looking into this. There are many flavors of tcping and I am not surprised to know that one is a dissimilar to ours.
