[02:42] <Son_Goku> niemeyer, zyga: another step on the ladder: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release/pull-request/67
[20:37] <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?
[20:39] <probono> if every app depends on another base snap, the whole system will be very inefficient
[20:39] <probono> kinda like Flatpak today
[21:01] <popey> probono: some software vendors build against rpm based distros and don't want to re-tool for debian based ones.
[21:03] <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
[21:04] <probono> e.g., built on yocto
[21:05] <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.
[21:06] <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
[21:07] <probono> yes, which means that we'll end up with more than 1-2 base snaps on each system, which is not efficient
[21:08] <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.
[21:09] <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
[22:07] <probono> Because many developers 'standardised' on Ubuntu as their build system, Ubuntu should be sufficient as the base snap, no?
[22:46] <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.
[22:47] <dviola> mono and gtk-sharp2 is being installed on the snap
[22:47] <dviola> but when I run it I get that
[22:49] <dviola> I tried copying the gtk2sharp.dll to the mono's gac but that didn't work
[23:21] <dviola> any ideas please?
[23:58] <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
[23:59] <popey> (forum is probably best so others can learn the solution.)
[23:59] <dviola> ok thanks
