[LAU] Snapcraft

[Ralf Mardorf]

Hi,

not only regarding rt apps I'm sceptic, but maybe Snapcraft/Snappy are
worth a trial.

Has anybody already tested Snapcraft/Snappy with rt audio apps?

Ubuntu 16.04:

$ sudo systemd-nspawn -q dpkg -l libsnappy1v5 snapcraft snapcraft-examples|grep ii
ii  libsnappy1v5:amd64 1.1.3-2      amd64        fast compression/decompression library
ii  snapcraft          2.12         all          easily craft snaps
ii  snapcraft-examples 2.12         all          examples and demos for snapcraft

Arch Linux:

$ pacman -Q snappy snapcraft
snappy 1.1.3-2
snapcraft 2.12-1

Snapcraft for Arch is available by the AUR, I simply edited 2.10.1-2 to
2.12-1 and replaced the checksum with 'SKIP'.

From time to time people can't compile audio apps on some distros,
perhaps Snapcraft/Snappy is a way to solve this issue.

Regards,
Ralf
