- snap and snapcraft info:
|
|||
|
|
* Snapcraft is a command line tool used to build snaps.
|
|||
|
|
* For now, all snaps should be built to run against the ‘Series 16’ core.
|
|||
|
|
* Snaps are built to run against a base snap containing a minimal common runtime environment.
|
|||
|
|
* The best experience is generally to use a clean Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS system or LXD containers or VM running Ubuntu 16.04.3.
|
|||
|
|
* Snapcraft is itself available as a snap.
|
|||
|
|
* Snapcraft builds on top of tools like autotools, make, and cmake to create snaps for people to install on Linux.
