Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: [Impact] In the same way as apturl is set as the default apt: URL handler, we should do the same for GNOME Software with the snap: URL. The prime impact for users will be support for snap:// URLs in the browser. This will allow web sites to provide a "click here to install - this snap...." type links which will take the user in to Ubuntu Software - where the snap will be preselected. e.g. - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/snap-url-support-coming-ubuntu- - software-app-plus-love-news (link towards the bottom as an example of - the sorts of things websites will be able to do). - + this snap...." type links which will take the user directly to Ubuntu + Software (instead of having to choose a url handler) where the snap will + be preselected. e.g. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/snap-url- + support-coming-ubuntu-software-app-plus-love-news (link towards the + bottom as an example of the sorts of things websites will be able to + do). [Test Case] Run: $ xdg-open snap:moon-buggy Expected result: GNOME Software opens with information on the moon-buggy snap Observed result: Get error about "specified location not supported" [Regression Potential] Low, we set a default where there was previously none. ** Changed in: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed ** Changed in: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to desktop-file-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666100 Title: Use GNOME Software as default snap: URL handler To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-file-utils/+bug/1666100/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
