Public bug reported: Only snap names with all lowercase can be registered in the store which means that a snapcraft register should explain this explicitly when a user tries to do it. Currently what happens is:
jamie@golstein:~$ snapcraft register Firefox Registering Firefox. Registration failed. jamie@golstein:~$ snapcraft register firefox Registering firefox. The name 'firefox' is already taken. We can if needed rename snaps to ensure they match the expectations of most users. If you are the publisher most users expect for 'firefox' then claim the name at 'https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click- apps/register-name/?series=16&name=firefox' The former error has little explanation, the latter is much more clear. ** Affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - Only snap names with all lower case can be registered in the store which + Only snap names with all lowercase can be registered in the store which means that a snapcraft register should explain this explicitly when a user tries to do it.
