Re: Announcing Snaplint

I've never written anything anyone would want to use and modify. (My code is crap.) But I can still make my code free for everyone (users and developers alike). I don't even care about maintaining credit for my work. Ha! In fact, it's probably better for me to disavow it. I'll have to

Re: Announcing Snaplint

Uh...but if I use your tool, then I can't claim ignorance when I'm getting sued for copyright violations. Seriously, though, I hate all the legal crap licensing causes in the development world. Your tool could make life a lot easier in that regard, which is nice. BTW, the GPL is the worst

Re: Announcing Snaplint

That is great, thanks! I'd love it as an optional step for the snaps we build in launchpad. Or mabye as warnings on the click-reviewers-tool? Sadly I can't put it in travis because snaps don't work on docker. But I will try it in my manual builds. pura vida. -- Snapcraft mailing list

Announcing Snaplint

Hi all, I'm writing to announce a tool I've been working on to encode best practices for snapping software. Inspired by utilities like lintian I've decided to name it 'snaplint'. At this point I'd like some wider feedback as I try to make it more useful. Right now you can run snaplint against
