| probono | Why would one want a Fedora base snap though? | 20:37 |
| probono | isn't the point of base snaps that there shouldn't me many of them? | 20:37 |
| probono | if every app depends on another base snap, the whole system will be very inefficient | 20:39 |
| probono | kinda like Flatpak today | 20:39 |
| popey | probono: some software vendors build against rpm based distros and don't want to re-tool for debian based ones. | 21:01 |
| probono | that imho is the software vendor's problem; should users really have to care what tooling software vendors are using? | 21:03 |
| probono | possibly the base snaps should be entirely distro agnostic | 21:03 |
| probono | e.g., built on yocto | 21:04 |
| probono | evidence shows that in flatpak almost evey app uses a different (version) runtime. let's not repeat that in snappy. releasing one distro-agnostic base snap every 4 years or so would be ideal, imho | 21:05 |
| popey | Users won't care. | 21:05 |
| probono | hard disk and ram does care | 21:06 |
| popey | Users will just install foo-app which will bring in whatever base is needed | 21:06 |
| popey | core18 is 54MB in size | 21:06 |
| probono | yes, which means that we'll end up with more than 1-2 base snaps on each system, which is not efficient | 21:07 |
| popey | That depends on the choice of apps the user has and the popularity (or not) of the 3rd party bases | 21:08 |
| popey | While it's possible there may end up being fedora, suse, gentoo and whatever else, realistically not many apps will depend on gentoo base | 21:08 |
| popey | Because (rightly or not) many developers 'standardised' on Ubuntu as their build system. | 21:08 |
| popey | So chances are a large proportion of users will have 1 or 2 bases, and a small number might have 3, which third one they have, depends | 21:09 |
| probono | Because many developers 'standardised' on Ubuntu as their build system, Ubuntu should be sufficient as the base snap, no? | 22:07 |
| dviola | hi | 22:46 |
| dviola | I am trying to run a mono app from a snap, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, can someone help please? | 22:46 |
| dviola | here is the snapcraft.yaml: https://gist.github.com/diegoviola/e848072006ea0a310828a2e8df769ae3 | 22:46 |
| dviola | this is the error I get: https://gist.github.com/diegoviola/43acb954b969eb47a0e67c8165132e21 | 22:46 |
| dviola | System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'gtk-sharp, Version=2.12.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=35e10195dab3c99f' or one of its dependencies. | 22:46 |
| dviola | mono and gtk-sharp2 is being installed on the snap | 22:47 |
| dviola | but when I run it I get that | 22:47 |
| dviola | I tried copying the gtk2sharp.dll to the mono's gac but that didn't work | 22:49 |
| dviola | any ideas please? | 23:21 |
| popey | dviola: it's a bit late on a sunday. might be better to either ask again during the european / US working week, or on the forum | 23:58 |
| popey | (forum is probably best so others can learn the solution.) | 23:59 |
| dviola | ok thanks | 23:59 |
