Re: Discussion: State of the snap (Snap Packaging)
Isn't it LGPL2+ (or later, i.e. it can also be distributed under LGPL2.1 or LGPL3)?
Re: Discussion: State of the snap (Snap Packaging)
I think it can be distributed as LGPL3 (any future version, in fact), yes, but it seems to me a bit misleading in this case. If we want to talk about the project itself, it is LGPL2.kkremitzki wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 2:30 pm Isn't it LGPL2+ (or later, i.e. it can also be distributed under LGPL2.1 or LGPL3)?

I'm not involved with the upstream snap, so that's a task for vejmarie.

Re: Addon manager not working in v0.19 beta snap
Can you check in your home directory if you have a .snap directory ? If yes what are the write permissions ? I can install Assembly4 with the snap (I am using it with my build for CADCloud).JulianStirling wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2020 8:17 am I have installed the beta of v0.19 as I wanted to play with Assembly 4. I am on Kubuntu 20.04 so I can't the freecad-daily PPA. So I have installed with snap.
When I open the add-on manager I can see all the packages, but if I click to "Install selected" the program hangs at "Cloning module". There is no output in the terminal.
A clue as to what it might be is if I go to the macro tab in the addon manager it tells me:
"Something went wrong with the Git Macro Retrieval, possibly the Git executable is not in the path"
Git is definitely on the PATH, I use it every day from the terminal. Perhaps this is a snap sandboxing issue? I don't really understand snap, I have tried to avoid the things in the past, but it is becoming more difficult.

Re: Discussion: State of the snap (Snap Packaging)
The .snap dir is owned by my user account with 700 permissions, the only file inside is warnings.json. The snap also cannot open files from an external drive. I have given up with it, as Ubuntu pushes onto snap more and more I am simply looking for an exit from Ubuntu.
