Laszlo Kishalmi updated NETBEANS-341:
-------------------------------------
Component/s: platform - Launchers&CLI
> Provide Snap Packages for NetBeans
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-341
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-341
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: platform - Launchers&CLI
> Affects Versions: 9.0
> Reporter: Laszlo Kishalmi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: CI, build
>
> The aim of this wish is to make NetBeans IDE available using Snap packaging
> system making it available on almost all Linux distributions.
> While the invention of Snap package management is a bit controversial among
> Linux users, it is definitely gaining momentum as some major brands started
> to deliver their products as Snap packages. Like Spotify and IntelliJ as well.
> Snap store can provide different distribution channels for different state of
> the products, like alpha, beta and stable (additional channels can be
> requested as well). Snapcraft.io service provides an automatic build and
> release functionality for free. Also the snap client can update the installed
> software daily. Having this functionality can enable some users to live on
> the edge if they want.
> I've started some experiments which can help make it happen.
> # Initial experiment creating a snap package from NetBeans 9.0-beta-rc2:
> [https://github.com/lkishalmi/netbeans-snap]
> # This snap code needs to be integrated into the main NetBeans repository.
> Some modifications are required of course. (I'm going to create a branch for
> that)
> # Snapcraft.io could be bind into github to enable automatic build.
> As far as I see now we shall request a permission to build a the package with
> classic confinement (no-security restrictions)
> My experimental package is available and can be tested with:
> {code:java}
> wget
> https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/lkishalmi-us-west-2-public/snaps/netbeans_9.0-beta-rc2_amd64.snap
> snap install netbeans_9.0-beta-rc2_amd64.snap --dangerous --classic{code}
> If we could make this happen NetBeans install on Linux could be as simple as:
> {code:java}
> snap install netbeans --classic{code}
>
