Sorry if I wan't clear, the point was that it wouldn't be possible to do in time for 17.10, which is what the original post was asking about.

Yeah, that's not common at all. Plus doing so breaks a lot of things, like copy/paste, IIRC.

/snap/bin will likely be added to your PATH from now on, but if your current shell session was already running when you installed snapd it wouldn't be updated.

It's not a regression either, if an app developer wants to use their own version of base libraries they will already be doing that in their .deb, .rpm or .tgz packages.

Snaps need a security backend like AppArmor in order to run in confinement. Without it, they can still be run unconfined. And while AppArmor+seccomp is the only working security backend, snapd is designed to support alternate backends, so o

Kind of, they run in a restricted AppArmor profile that limits what they can see and do, but the filesystem the do see is the same as any other process. KSM should prevent duplicate libraries from taking up extra memory on your machine.

Somebody who wants to setup their own store can send a pull request making the changes they need to snapd to make it easier to configure. Right now it's unclear if a "different store" would use the same data and protocol or w

snapd could be pointed to another store if somebody wanted to make one. But the Ubuntu Snap Store is free to use and open to anyone, and having them all in one location makes discovery so much easier. The limitation on snapcraft is technica
