Developer Notes


  • 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.
