Hi,

I'm not one of the developers, just another subscriber.

Have you ever build a snap? Feel free to provide one.

Assuming you should provide one, how do the developers know that bugs
are related to Evolution development and not to the snap? I'm
subscribed to [email protected] and even installed it for my
Arch Linux.

Snapcraft at least is immature and very complicated. For a developer it
would be less work to provide binaries and dependencies installed
to /opt, without linking against shared libraries. For a user the
easiest way would be to use a rolling release model distro.

I haven't tested flatpak. This btw. is another issue, that there are so
many similar approaches, flatpak and snap aren't the only approaches.
Which one, if any, is worth the learning curve and which one would
anyway, soon or later not work on several distros?

Regards,
Ralf
