Hey everyone,
I have some questions about best practices for organizations (like our
Liri Project) regarding the store.
1. Accounts:
Is it possible to have a "pure" organization account in the store where
several people have full or partial access? The only option I can see
right now would be someone from the team having to create a new Ubuntu
One account (with a yet unregistered email address) who would have full
access and could only grant rights to others for every individual
package. What is recommended for organizations here/are there plans for
the future?
You are correct, this is the best way to handle this situation right
now. You can use the + trick (realaddress+al...@domain.com) in your
email address if you don't have a convenient one to use. Once you set it
up and assign collaborators, you can proceed with your regular account.
Okay. I'd personally really love to see something like organization
accounts (maybe comparable to how GitHub handles organizations) in the
future because I think this is a common use case.
2. Namespaces:
If we'd choose the namespace "liri" and would register a new name in the
store "liri-app", what would happen if someone else would try to
register that name? Do we own "liri-app" because we were first or would
users - in case of multiple "liri-app.<namespace>" packages have to
install it using "liri-app.liri"?
Package names are guaranteed to be unique in the snap store, so if you
register liri-app then you're the only one who can publish a package by
that name.
Oh, I see, so I was wrong with my assumptions (probably because I
thought about how namespaces worked with click). So a snap "namespace"
is not really a namespace but rather an unique id/name for the developer?
3. Transferring Packages
Is it possible to transfer packages from user1 to user2 (or from my
personal account to a possible future Liri Account) or would I have to
delete the package and create a new one?
There is a mechanism to dispute the ownership of a package name. You can
use this to transfer a registered name from one publisher account to
another.
Okay, great.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.
Have a nice day,
Tim Süberkrüb
