Some of the reddit-comments talk about the fact that snap still depends on the Ubuntu Store. Could you clarify if that is true or for what it is needed?Jun 15, 2016
+Thorsten Leemhuis There's no intrinsic dependency on a particular store - the snap format is just a clever zipfile, you could easily make your own store and have your snapd talk to your store, or improve snapd to talk to multiple stores. There are valid reasons people might want to do that, and it wouldn't hurt the experience for the publishers of snaps - they would just push their snaps where they wanted.Jun 15, 2016- +Thorsten Leemhuis I saw some suggestions that Debian folks would want to make a Debian snap store, which is cool, for example.Jun 15, 2016
- +Mark Shuttleworth thx for the reply; just two more question came up in my head: (1) is software that runs the current Snappy Store available as OSS? (2) is it currently possible to directly distribute a snap package (without some kind of store) and run it without facing any downsides? Background: https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2016/06/14/libreoffice-5-2-0-beta2-as-a-snap-package/ tells people to use "--devmode", but that afaics will disable security policy enforcement, so it's not something ordinary users should do.Jun 15, 2016
you can definitely always sideload snaps by just using "sudo snap install /path/to/snap", the libO snap is still beta and does not yet have all interfaces implemented, thus the --devmodeJun 15, 2016- +Oliver Grawert thx for the clarification!Jun 15, 2016
