No, it's also a new codebase: https://github.com/ubuntu/snap-store -- it's confusing as the name "Snap Store" is also the name of the debadged-gnome-software version too. > My opinion on this is that because we don't ship the plugin or snapd > by default on any variant of Fedora, we don't really run counter to > the rules. So in the same way, we could have a checkbox for "Flathub support" in the gnome-software addons page? I don't think that would wash with legal as we would be "facilitating" access to patent encumbered software. I don't think the "by default" arguments protects us like that. > Would it make sense for Zygmunt and Maciek (CC'd to this email) to be > added as CC contacts on Bugzilla, so they can address snap plugin > issues when they arise? No, as they're not the ones committing fixes to gnome-software. Watching a bugzilla ticket doesn't equate to being responsible for bugs. The snap plugin self tests are failing in CI, and we can't even update to a newer gnome-software in rawhide as the version of snapd-glib is too old. Usually when that happens either me or Kalev have to hunt down the new tarballs, add any new BRs, scratch build, build, submit as an update etc and that's just not fair. > I'm just generally confused about this, and somewhat blindsided... I was informed of the Canonical decision a few weeks ago, and it too took me by surprise. I guess winning the war comes at a cost, and this camel has a broken back. > I wish someone had looped *me* into these conversations, as one of the > snap support maintainers in Fedora, I'm relying on these things to > provide a good experience for Fedora users of snaps... I was asked not to distribute details about the conversations until they had made a public statement, which still hasn't been done. I'm not comfortable with the situation at all either but we have to do something.
