Snapping git

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I work at Canonical as part of the engineering team around Ubuntu and
Snapcraft [1].

We’re working on snaps, a platform to enable ISVs to directly control
delivery of software updates to their users, and make their software
available on many Linux distributions to a wide audience via our
snappy store.

Snaps enable you to have the latest build of git available directly
from github master to adventurous users in minutes, and your stable
tagged releases to more conservative users automatically.

Ideally I'm looking for someone in the community who can spend a
little bit of time over the next week or so creating a snap package
out of the latest source from git master. We have documentation [2]
and a forum [3] where the snap developers and users hang out. We're
keen to find out where the rough edges are in our docs / process, and
improve them, so feedback (+ve/-ve) from this process is essential to
us.

Ultimately the outcome would be a single package in the snap store
'edge' channel which has the latest git master build that adventurous
developers on various Linux [4] distributions can install with a
simple 'snap install git --edge'.

Anyone fancy taking on this challenge? :)
