The framework snap is 203.44mb but indeed, the other apps are pretty small. One caveat is that you must install the framework first before any KDE application and that there is no auto-installation of the framework if you do it in the wrong order. Installing the application first, then the framework results in an "error while loading shared libraries: libKF5Crash.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory” error until you remove the app and reinstall. Still, it’s a great step forward with just a few kinks to iron out, great work and I’m looking forward to more KDE snaps! > You can find the currently published apps with "snap find kde", and > there are more that are in the process of being snapped and published. > > -- > Michael Hall > mhall...@ubuntu.com > > -- > Snapcraft mailing list > Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft -- Snapcraft mailing list Snapcraft@lists.snapcraft.io Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/snapcraft
