| Snap Packaging |
| -------------- |
| |
| This directory contains the config required to generate a snap package |
| of lz4. Snaps are universal Linux packages that allow you to easily |
| build your application from any source and ship it to any Linux |
| distribution by publishing it to https://snapcraft.io/. A key attribute |
| of a snap package is that it is (ideally) confined such that it |
| executes within a controlled environmenti with all its dependencies |
| bundled with it and does not share dependencies with of from any other |
| package on the system (with a couple of minor exceptions). |
| |
| The basic anatomy and workflow is: |
| |
| * ensure snap.snapcraft.yaml is up-to-date e.g. with version info |
| |
| * build the snap by installing the snapcraft package and running it |
| |
| * push snap/* changes to the repo (excluding any crud generated by a build of course) |
| |
| * register yourself as owner of lz4 name in snapstore |
| |
| * publish new snap to the snap store |
| |
| * install snap by doing 'snap install lz4' on any Linux distro |
| |
| * all installed copies of lz4 will be automatically updated to your new version |
