I'd like to assume that whoever is planning to upload snappy (and I assume that someone *is* interested) is taking their time to get the packaging right for our distro and thinking through integration and whole-distribution issues rather than simply uploading a rush-job to the archive. I'd actually like to see a wider discussion as to the merits of snappy versus flatpak (and others) and the pros/cons of supporting (or otherwise) multiple such things or picking one (or waiting to see whether any get any kind of real-world traction). > $ apt show lxd > N: Unable to locate package lxd > E: No packages found I believe Adnan is working on an lxd package (if I remember the ITP correctly). It is somewhat delayed, but that is largely due to the ITP being squatted by someone else for a year or so, and I can't blame Canonical for particular failing (which is a problem with our processes whereby ITPs can be effectively squatted and contributors put off by others over-promising and under-delivering) -- Jonathan Dowland Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
