[Bug 1663060] Re: Add a title field to snap metadata
If gnome-software is using summary as a name, it needs to be fixed to not do that, ASAP. Whether to have a different field is an unrelated conversation which is of less urgency than that. We have a name field today, and it should be used. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663060 Title: Add a title field to snap metadata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+bug/1663060/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1663060] Re: Add a title field to snap metadata
Yes, but the discussion above also implies that we have multiple naming
fields, and that gnome-software is currently using summary as it
("Currently gnome-software is using sumary or name instead of this
field.").
We should discuss the possibility of another field, per above note, but
let's please not use a summary as a display name meanwhile. This will
encourage people to put wrong data in the wrong field.
In terms of the proposal itself, would be good to have a conversation
about it considering the pros and cons. If we allow a free form name, we
may end up with multiple applications named exactly the same thing (for
above example, imagine 10 different "Calculator" applications). How much
better is this than having a single "calculator" application? Our whole
apt/deb story circles around applications with unique and well-defined
lowercased names. What are the benefits of breaking that?

[Bug 1661590] Re: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap
More food for thought on the above note: the desktop file cannot call the real underlying command by itself! That would break confinement. It calls the confined binary under /snap/bin instead, which is what the "command:" attribute specifies.

@Mark: The command is not duplicated. The desktop file will call the actual command defined in the snap.yaml. It may provide additional arguments, but those will indeed be _in addition_ to the ones in snap.yaml. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1661590 Title: GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1661590/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Robert: what do you actually need here? We already support multiple desktop files, and they already hold metadata. gnome-software can already inspect to see which of these is available, I believe?

Another side note: there's no special meaning to the order of commands in snap.yaml.

[Bug 1663060] Re: Add a title field to snap metadata
The bug description is misleading. There's a single name field in snaps today, and its called "name". Summary is not a name, and description is not a name. If gnome-software or anything else is using "summary" as a name, that's a pretty obvious bug that would be great to see fixed. We can discuss the introduction of an alternative name field which is free-form and not unique, but that's a separate conversation. Proper applications supporting the snap format shouldn't mangle snap names, and shouldn't misuse fields for incorrect purposes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663060 Title: Add a title field to snap metadata To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-portal/+bug/1663060/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1581713] Re: Ubuntu Software always asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account when installing or removing a snap package
As we discussed the last time this came up, yes, that seems fine. Handing out a token to root that provides an authorization to manipulate the system is analogous to allowing root itself to be doing removals without further store information, which we allow. The necessary infrastructure for that is pretty much in place since we already have to maintain the local and remote macaroons separately, and the situation where the remote macaroon is missing or incorrect is already handled. If a store operation depends on a valid user, it will prompt for a full login, and once performed that will associate the remote macaroon with the existing local user instead of creating a new one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581713 Title: Ubuntu Software always asks for an Ubuntu Single Sign-On account when installing or removing a snap package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1581713/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
