Thanks to everybody who has been testing. I think this is a good story of how snaps are making it easier for testers and upstream developers to collaborate. Some time ago the developer of quassel-webserver told me that it was ready to be tested by the wider community. I made a quick test and it was getting stuck, so I reported this bug: https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver/issues/220
The dev said that it was working for him. I tested it in all my machines and my VMs and I just couldn't understand how it was working for him but failing everywhere for me. So I asked a few people to give it a try. The steps to reproduce were super simple, and by installing it from a snap all of us trying it were in a pretty similar environment. One of them confirmed the bug, which convinced the developer to dig deeper. He fixed it, and the following day he was ready to make a release candidate. Now quassel-webserver 2.2.7 is in the candidate channel, and everybody who had 2.2.6 installed will get the automatic update soon, without doing anything else. Please check if you already have the new version, test it a little, and if you find something weird, file a bug directly upstream: https://github.com/magne4000/quassel-webserver/issues/new We are polishing all these workflows so upstream developers get super fast feedback from early adopters, and everything it takes for them is to write a simple snapcraft.yaml file, and for us to run a simple snap install command. If you have ideas of how to improve the process, or any features you would like to see, please let us know. pura vida. -- Ubuntu-quality mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-quality
