Is helm 3.* classic? #57

Closed 0xErnie closed 4 years ago

0xErnie commented 4 years ago

I am new to snap and just installed helm with: sudo snap install helm --classic from the docs of helm 2

To my surprise helm version 3.1.2 was installed.. rather fresh for a classic, is it?

Another surprise: The docs of helm v3 also suggest installing helm with "--classic" link

My favourite would be having a real choice, like one has with brew.

Greetings from Hamburg :)

Hey @0xErnie,

I think there's some confusion around what classic means in this context. When you add the flag to snap install, you are defining the confinement method (https://snapcraft.io/docs/snap-confinement), not the version of the snap that is installed.

If you want to select a different version of the snap, you can see the available ones with snap info helm and then use the --channel flag to set this. E.g. 

sudo snap install helm --classic --channel=2.16

After which, you can change this with snap refresh. E.g.

sudo snap refresh helm --channel=3.1

Hope this helps.
