Summary: Instruction how to install snap can be simplified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Hi,
I did the following:
===========================================================
user@pc:~$ snap info libreoffice
snap info libreoffice
name: libreoffice
summary: "LibreOffice is a powerful office suite including word processing
and creation of spreadsheets, slideshows and databases"
publisher: canonical
description: |
LibreOffice is a powerful office suite – its clean interface and
feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your
productivity. LibreOffice includes several applications that make it the most
powerful Free and Open Source office suite on the market: Writer (word
processing), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (vector
graphics and flowcharts), Base (databases), and Math (formula editing).
commands:
- libreoffice.calc
- libreoffice.draw
- libreoffice.impress
- libreoffice
- libreoffice.math
- libreoffice.writer
- libreoffice.base
channels:
stable: 5.3.0.3 (17) 374MB -
candidate: 5.3.0.3 (17) 374MB -
beta: 5.3.0.3 (17) 374MB -
edge: 5.3.0.3 (17) 374MB -
===========================================================
In channels you notice currently there is 5.3.0.3 available in all of the
channels including "stable".
Now look at the instruction how to install LibreOffice using Snap at:
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/snap/
and there is command:
sudo snap install --channel=beta libreoffice
Above command is perfectly fine, but there is no need for channel "beta" if the
same version is available in "stable". In my humble opinion users should be
encourage to install as stable software as possible. In this case there is no
need to point user to beta channel in future they may get unstable version when
they refresh snap.
I suggest to change command from:
sudo snap install --channel=beta libreoffice
to:
sudo snap install libreoffice
and end-users will currently get the same effect.
Regards
