ilivdidrocks, thanks for you replies on AskUbuntu. Much appreciated. Although, I have to admit I found them frustrating :)09:24
didrocksiliv: sorry for this! But things are in progress and it will come down in due time. At least, you have ways to handle your services with those advice meanwhile :)09:24
didrocks(I still think the layer config approach though is the best)09:25
ilivI'm still not sure how one can put a configuration file into say $SNAP_DATA, which I understand is a system-wide area where applications (snaps) can store their data? I tried the copy: plugin but it doesn't expand $SNAP_DATA and treats it literally as a string. Is creating a wrapper script that ...09:30
iliv... checks if a file exists in $SNAP_DATA, and if it doesn't, copies it over from say $SNAP/configs directory every time when a snap package is mounted/maid available to a system?09:30
didrocksyou won't be able to ship anything at build/install time to $SNAP_DATA. So yeah, creating a wrapper script is one way, having your daemon supporting a layer approach is even better IMHO, but that's up to you :)09:32
ilivsorry if I'm being too dense, but what is this layer approach exactly that you referred multiple times already?09:34
didrocksah, it's the idea that you have this configuration file at multiple level09:34
didrocksso:09:34
didrocks- user09:34
didrocks- system (global)09:34
didrocks- default09:34
didrocksyou can find the same config file at any level09:35
didrocksuser is $SNAP_USER_DATA, system is $SNAP_DATA and default is $SNAP09:35
didrocksthen, if you find common keys, you always prefer the layer "up" (closer to personal configuration) than the default one09:35
didrocksfor the same key = value pair09:35
ilivokay, I see. it is something that the application itself should be capable of. however, I do not understand how this is going to help with creating a system-wide configuration file upon install of the package? It's still either creating a wrapper script or putting the burden of creating the ...09:41
iliv... configuration file on the end user. Or ... ?09:41
ilivHaving read-only configuration files that reside in $SNAP makes almost no sense. I figure few applications and users wouldn't want to modify a program's configuration file.09:42
didrocksyeah, if you application isn't capable of that, the wrapper script doing what you told is totally makes sense09:42
didrocksiliv: it does, it's the default09:42
didrocksbetter to have them exported in the same flat file than hardcoded in the app :)09:42
didrocksbut again, if you aren't in controlled of this app code, the wrapper is a good way to handle this09:43
ilivwell, yes, better than hardcoded but if it is read-only it's essentially hardcoded. in a sense that a user/administrator cannot modify any seetings and thus the end result is essentially the same.09:44
iliv> but again, if you aren't in controlled of this app code, the wrapper is a good way to handle this // here's the thing. there's a ton of software out there that if attempted to be packaged will face this basic problem of wanting to install configuration and other files outside of $SNAP into at ...09:45
iliv... least $SNAP_DATA.09:45
ilivmodifying all that massive array of software is pretty much impossible09:45
didrockson hardcoded -> yeah, it's in RO, but you have the config format to be readable by the admin to know what options are supported and so on09:46
didrocksand as a developer, you know that there is no discrepancy between default options and options that are overrideable in the config09:47
didrockson the wrapper -> yeah, that's what we have this wrapper approach in quite some snaps, to cope with real world, as you say09:47
didrockshowever, if upstream starts to adopt snaps, they will maybe then reconsider and follow best practices like this layered approach to manage config :)09:47
didrocks(but as an intermediate step, wrapper script it is! :))09:48
ilivI see10:06
ilivwell, guess I will have to figure out how to do this with a wrapper script10:07
iliv:)10:08
didrocksiliv: if you need any help or need review, do not hesitate! :)10:11
didrocksit's basically a if [ ! -f $SNAP_DATA/config ]; then cp $SNAP/config; fi10:11

didrocksogra_: interesting12:24
ogra_case is faster ... just using a condition with "test" is slower than case but faster than if12:25
didrocksbut TBH, when you need a wrapper script, I doubt the fact to have a if vs [] is the real issue :p12:25
ogra_well, depends how big your wrapper is ... after all it is your apps startup time12:25

morphisif I've put a snap into the edge channel of the store should I see it with `snap find`?14:00

zygamorphis: I'm not sure14:00
popeydidrocks: i fail to see how I submit comments14:01

sergiusenselopio well that won't happen soon17:11

sergiusenselopio oh, the message is spec'ed, can't change the text17:18

ehbellohello, somebody can tell me how to define the 'uboot.env.in' file to build a 'uboot.env' file suitable to snapcraft to build a gadget snap?19:12
ehbelloI can see some examples at lp:~snappy-hub/snappy-systems but I can't guess what I need for my gadget19:13
niemeyerehbello: These details are not quite finalized yet.. it'll take a few more weeks before we have a proper specification for it19:26
ehbelloniemeyer: I don't understand that... I mean, if there is not a proper specification for it, why are there devices as beagleblack or pi2 with this file in its snap? are not uboot.env related with uboot directly?19:32
ehbelloniemeyer: I know that uboot.env is built with mkenvimage tool but I don't know what to put in uboot.env.in19:33
niemeyerehbello: My apologies for that as I know it is a bit confusing indeed.. the whole tooling around snaps (snapd, snapcraft, etc) changed in a major way in the last few months, for the better.. for most of that time we focused on getting tools right without direct in-device development.19:36
niemeyerehbello: So the images you will find around are either 15.04 images, or half-baked 16.04 ones that were never actually released as they're not yet ready19:36
niemeyerehbello: If you're using 15.04, I'm sure other people in the channel will be able to give you a hand, but keep it mind that a lot of what we talk about here won't apply there19:37
ehbelloniemeyer: I'm working on ubuntu 16.04 edge images generated with latest branch of ubuntu-device-flash from 'mvo' in LP and I have a partial gagdet snap... I think the only thing missing is the uboot.env file for an armhf gadget to get everything working properly :)19:44
niemeyerehbello: That's great, glad to see the in-development code being put to test and actually working :)19:46
niemeyerehbello: Just note it may actually break due to incompatible changes (IOW, good to play with, not good for real devices yet)19:46
sergiusenselopio help! https://travis-ci.org/snapcore/snapcraft/jobs/14228526519:47
ehbelloniemeyer: I know, but I prefer to develop on an edge platform rather than a version that will becomes obsolete soon :P19:54
ehbello(sorry if I write bad english. I'm spanish :)19:55
niemeyerehbello: Yeah, that's a good plan19:56
elopiosergiusens: my branch added -d, so when checking errors in integration, between that "Registering ..." message and "The name \'test-already-registered-snap-name\' is already taken", there is a trace19:56
niemeyerehbello: Your English seems prefect.. I'm not a native speaker either19:57
sergiusenselopio but the register failed does a subprocess checkcall all on its own19:57
elopiosergiusens: there is no need to check the first part in the message, IMO. So I would do: assertThat(output, EndsWith(The name \'test-already-registered-snap-name\' is already ...))19:57
sergiusenselopio oh, nvm20:01
sergiusenselopio now I guess my branch will fail in integration ;-)20:01
elopiosergiusens: nop. I've just registered that name in staging. Actually, there's no need for anything we discussed in the standup.20:02
elopiowith the hardcoded name and the right values in the database, it works and it's simple.20:02
sergiusenselopio don't I need to use the sleeper command though?20:02
sergiusensjust switched to it just in case20:03
elopiosergiusens: yes, the sleep might be missing there. I'm not sure if the store blocks also when the registration failed, but it's likely.20:04
