For starters you can include the specific version of all your dependencies, from any source you like, so you always have what you need. You can also create your snap package from an existing binary build, rather than having to make it build on Ubuntu or Debian's build servers. Finally your snap package will be available to users of Ubuntu 16.04 and later (and even other distros if the user installs snapd) as soon as you hit \"Publish\", they don't have to add a PPA to install them, and they will even show up in the Ubuntu Software application.\n\nDocumentation for building snaps is at: http://snapcraft.io/\nYou can find a number of snapcraft build configs here: https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen\nThere's also a Gitter channel you can find help at: https://gitter.im/ubuntu/snappy-playpen\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit/issues/comments/260551670","html_url":"https://github.com/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit/issues/52#issuecomment-260551670","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/samdroid-apps/something-for-reddit/issues/52","id":260551670,"user":{"login":"samdroid-apps","id":6022042,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6022042?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps","html_url":"https://github.com/samdroid-apps","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/samdroid-apps/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-15T05:33:02Z","updated_at":"2016-11-15T05:33:02Z","body":"I'm not planning on perusing this myself.  I am planning on making a Flatpack (see #35) since that seems to be where it is at in the Gtk+ world.  I'm always happy to take a patch to add a snap though.\r\n\r\nI understand that snaps have some advantages over traditional packages, but that does not negate the need for a `.deb` package or a ppa.  There are some circumstances that users may appreciate the trustworthiness and small size of a traditional distro package."}}
