First I think it should be tested throughly... I tried some time ago the snap package and found some (small?) problems. First the inability to allow execution of sistem web browser, pdf reader and text editor, which makes life a bit difficult for the snap KiCad user... Could you check please if these problems are still present? -- Marco Ciampa I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it. ------------------------ GNU/Linux User #78271 FSFE fellow #364 ------------------------ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
