Well, in this case, i had to fix the 'kernel-with-firmware' option to skip the 'firmware_install' step since we took it by default - let's say that in the future the 'modules_install' target is removed or change name, then i'll have to patch snapcraft. Wrt updating from -edge, i told you to take it from there because snap packages land there more often and more quickly compared to the canonicaldeb archive, so from a developer perspective it's easier&quicker to iterate over it, but sooner or later (e.g. once snapcraft 2.36.1 reaches the snap -stable channel), it will be copied to the deb archive too - IOW, you would get using apt-get only too. -- bye, p.
