[13:35] <billythekido> hi guys. I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and I see that the majority of gnome programs are already available in Snap format. I was considering replacing the apt versions with snaps. Would you advise against that?
[13:36] <billythekido> also can anyone share thoughts about the policy of Ubuntu on 18.04 concerning snaps? In a fresh install, will the snap version of the gnome programs be installed by default or the apt versions of the tools will be preferred? I know it is speculative at the moment, just asking for thoughts
[13:58] <billythekido> no thoughts?
[14:44] <Faults> I'm no pro, but depends bit on app. Most of the Apps don't include theming so your Apps looks like Windows NT 4.0
[14:46] <Faults> I truely like the Snap (and Flatpak), but you might encounter regression... Or in some cases you will gain benefit.
[14:47] <Faults> Example if you prefer to have latest and greatest Apps, but you prefer using super stable distro like Ubuntu LTS, Mint or Debian.
[14:49] <billythekido> good points. the truth is during weekends I gamble the stability of my box by experimenting with experimental features. so far it has not bit me :P
[14:50] <billythekido> I see that canonical is pushing forward with snaps, providing almost the majority of default programs in that version. it is completely unclear though whether they will go with them as "default" apps in 18.04
[14:51] <billythekido> as far as I know there is no posts on the net clarifying the topic. I spotted a couple saying that they plan to cover all the default snap apps but no explicit input on whether they will be used by default

[17:30] <mcphail> Hi. What's the policy on adding shareware to the snap store? Too dodgy?
[20:03] <m4sk1n_> hi
[20:08] <m4sk1n_> I'm trying to add i18n support for snapcraft
[20:18] <m4sk1n_> marked strings, added build_i18n to setup.py, but can't get to make it using .mo files
