I don't like the name, but I do like the thing.

[jo-erlend]

You're confused. We are not talking about packages or package systems here. The package system is GPL. Nobody's claiming this is not FOSS. Like apt, the...

[jo-erlend]

Finally? I've been asking for the ability to hibernate Linux processes for ages. Seems a bit insane to me that I should prefer running things in VMs just...

[jo-erlend]

Debian as a distribution isn't an open ecosystem either. Neither is Fedora. These are closed systems requiring membership to upload packages. When Red...

[jo-erlend]

So, because every distro can have their own stores without having anything to do with Canonical, and that you can install packages from anywhere you want...

[jo-erlend]

I don't know. I think it should support refreshing from file, like snap refresh app.snap, but I don't know if it does. If it doesn't, then you could add...

1) It doesn't "in fact" require you to sign a CLA. Just saying that something is a fact, doesn't make it a fact. If you want to distribute your...

[jo-erlend]

Having a proprietary backend for a website is normal. Is Red Hats subscription backend open to the public or do you condem Fedora for its use of rpm packages?...

[jo-erlend]

The snap server is a web server that provides a RESTful API, all of which is obviously open source, since the client is open source. So what's really...

[jo-erlend]

That is the requirement for a Snap server as well. It's a web server and it doesn't matter which one you use. If you do want a payment system, user databases,...

[jo-erlend]

You don't need Canonical's permission to setup your own Snap distro either and there are plenty of open source web servers you can use....

[jo-erlend]

It's perfectly possible that I don't understand what you mean, but regressions happens in any complex source project and the history of Microsoft Windows...

[jo-erlend]

They are equally open source. Nobody in the GNU+Linux community would ever say that rpm is useless as a package system without proprietary software just...

[jo-erlend]

That is pure falsehood. Why do you do this? I mean, anyone who's not a complete newbie are able to use your kind of sophistry in order to "prove"...

[jo-erlend]

Oh, yes, you're absolutely correct. Sorry about that....

[jo-erlend]

You mean in the same way nearly all websites are proprietary. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Linux isn't Cuba....

[jo-erlend]

You're not that stupid. Stop pretending....

[jo-erlend]

That's how Wine works. You create one Wine prefix per application you want to run and then you customize each prefix. Others can build on thiş to support...

[jo-erlend]

Per prefix, not per exe....

[jo-erlend]

The support has always been there. What's missing is the enforcement of it. That's one of the things I liked about Mir; the ability of the display server...
