CircleCI and Snapcraft: Everything You Need to Know
- wink 9y agoArticle: > The Snapcraft CLI snapcraft works extremely well in Ubuntu. However, if you’re trying to build snaps in other distros, a lot more work can be involved snap website: > Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification. Hmm, sounds like the usual "works on my (ubuntu) machine"
- ivanfon 9y agoWhen you’re creating a snap (using Snapcraft), at the moment, you have to use Ubuntu or something like Docker (although this will change soon). Installing snaps works fine on any major Linux distro.
- kyrofa 9y agoYeah, be careful not to conflate snaps in general (the things built by Snapcraft) with Snapcraft the tool. Admittedly both the article and some messaging from Canonical tend to make that mistake, too.
