We do want to ensure it’s available for any user of GNOME Software that wishes to use Snaps, regardless of which distro they are using. The Snap plugin is enabled in all Ubuntu releases so it should work well, but if there are unit test failures please let us know. What I'm confused about is how the situation got to this point. Richard seems to indicate that this has been broken in GNOME Software upstream for some time, and that's concerning. I thought you worked upstream in GNOME on this? > > We’re happy for the Snap plugin to be built in a separate source package for Fedora if that’s necessary and we’re obviously keen to see snapd-glib up to date in Fedora. The dependencies are fairly light so it should be quick to update but let us know if there is anything we can do to make this easier. Note that snapd-glib updates frequently to enable new features in snapd but retains backwards compatibility. > Honestly, the only reason I hadn't updated it to 1.48 is due to being busy and lack of noticing it's there. It's been generally easy for me to update it across all Fedora releases and even EPEL7. I've pushed updates to Bodhi now for snapd-glib 1.48, in addition to pushing it into Rawhide: * F30: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-b6612c5fe5 * F29: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2019-bc3dfb389f * EPEL7: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2019-238f49e9a5 On Thu, Jul 11, 2019 at 5:34 PM Richard Hughes <hughsient@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On Thu, 11 Jul 2019 at 21:02, Neal Gompa <ngompa13@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > If an update occurs even within stable > > releases, I would expect it to have a chance to break. > > We don't break plugin ABI in stable GNOME releases. e.g. 3.32.1 will > be the same internal ABI as 3.32.x.

If there have been snap plugin specific issues, I haven't heard of them, and I *know* that Robert and the rest of the folks working on non-Ubuntu snap work would like to know about them, so they can do something about it. Sadly, omniscience and mind reading technology don't exist, so we need to be told these things. :) -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
