Your subordinate charm doesn't know it is the only charm using the snap on that unit, so it is dangerous doing this sort of cleanup. Well, right now it is pretty safe because snaps in charms are rare but I expect this to change over time. It is exactly the same as automatically removing deb packages, which charms rarely if ever do. Also note that snaps can contain data, and removing them can destroy this data. subordinates need to tread lightly to avoid victimizing other charms on the unit, and primary charms don't bother because removing them means the machine should ideally be rebuilt. It would be possible to have the snap layer automatically remove snaps, but the behaviour would need to be explicitly enabled using a layer.yaml option. -- Stuart Bishop <[email protected]> -- Juju mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju
