Hi, I am new to Snappy, but have read much of the docs and tried it for a few hours. No problems and it looks simple so far, but I had a few questions about managing snaps.
On [1] I get a feeling for how the base system itself is updated. But is this entirely managed with the "ubuntu-core" snap? So if I run "snappy update ubuntu-core" it will download a new image (if any) to the passive partition? Or are there other snaps that should be updated as part of the base system as well (I see "generic-amd64" which sounds like a base snap). Any other software that comprises a base system update? Furthermore, assuming base system update goes well, I should reboot to the other partition. Is there a preferred method do this (I see a --automatic-reboot option to snappy update) or will the regular "shutdown -r now" do the job well enough? Is there a way to see which snaps can be updated? I am looking for something similar to "apt-get -s upgrade". Or would this be the difference in version between "snappy list -v" and "snappy search"? Finally, is there a way for software to manage snaps, just like you can being logged in as superuser with the "snappy" command? I am planning to make an application that can update and manage snaps. Supposedly it would either need to be part of the base OS (which I guess is unlikely it would be allowed to) or it would have to be packaged as a snap with special privileges (perhaps as a framework)? Thanks for reading to the end and appreciate any help! :) [1] https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/guides/transactional-updates/ -- Eystein Stenberg
