Hi Gunnar, thanks for your reply. Yes that's fine. For 17.04 I'll drop
the bit about snap packages having advantages over Debian packages and
I'll drop the bit about recommending the snap package (in the case that
both formats are available). But I'll keep the bit that mentions that
some
I wouldn't say anything about advantages/recommend as regards snaps. For
instance, as regards VLC I have observed two significant bugs with the
snap: 1. Translations don't work, and 2. Capturing a stream to a file
doesn't work either.
To be honest it makes little sense to me to show both
Hi Gunnar, I'm proposing to make minor changes to the following pages:
addremove-install.html
addremove-remove.html
disk-partitions.html
As regards installing and removing applications I'm proposing to say
that there are two package formats: Debian packages and snap packages.
In order to install
Hi Will, thanks. I'll discuss some details of the changes, and when to
do them, with Gunnar.

I'm +1 on documenting them. It will help to reduce confusion.

Hi Will, thanks for your reply. So you think it's fine to document
points 1, 2, and 3 above in the 17.04 desktop help? The reason I'm
asking is that once Ubuntu 17.04 is released the 17.04 desktop help is
basically available, without corrections, to the world for the (short)
life of Ubuntu 17.04.
Hi Chris, thanks for picking this up.
1. At the moment there is no way to tell from the Software GUI app that
an application is a snap or a deb. Snaps are prioritised, and so will
appear at the top of the list when doing a search. But there is
currently no way of telling the packaging format
Hi Will, could you give the Docs Team some guidance about what to say
about snaps in the the 17.04 desktop help? A user of the desktop help
will typically install and remove packages using Ubuntu Software (not
the command line). So as regards the desktop help I'm only concerned
about how snaps
Hi Gunnar, thanks for your reply. Yes I'll try to get some
designer/developer input on this subject.

I agree that there are pending snap related questions, but please note:
1. Snap related things are in a preliminary state, and changes happen
continuously.
2. We are not enough informed to distinguish between bugs and intended
behavior.
I don't think we should add things to the docs only based
Another point that may be relevant to this bug is that some applications
(eg vlc, hexchat) are listed twice in Ubuntu Software (I'm running 16.04
amd64). This will surely confuse users. Even if the user knows that one
is the snap and the other is the non snap it's not immediately obvious
which is
For now, snap documentation is found here:

Hi Gunnar, thanks for your reply. We don't need to decide what (if
anything) to do until shortly before Documentation String Freeze (March
16th 2017). I suggest we stick to general principles (as regards
maintaining the documentation). Eg if one of our procedures has changed
we normally correct
I know very little about snaps, but basically it's just a package
format, and not a proper topic for the desktop user guide. (We don't
talk about the Debian package format in the guide either.)
With that said, yes, there is an inconsistency as regards Ubuntu
Software vs. terminal, but OTOH we do
