Didier and I settled on a version of desktop-launch that tries to use mir-libs first, falling back to ubuntu-app-platform (while the libs are in there), and if not, then falling back to an internal copy of the libraries.
That should help the transition and doesn't encode a requirement on mir- libs inside of desktop-launch. But should enable the use of them if the snap chooses. This has landed and now also sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point inside mir- libs for your snap, if mir-libs is connected. So go ahead and update your snaps. All you need to do is define the plug and create the $SNAP/mir-libs folder. Everything else should be done for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1663048 Title: libmirclient in snaps gets out of sync with archive Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu App Platform: In Progress Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity8-desktop-session package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Because we directly include mir client libraries in the platform (due to a dependency of qtubuntu), when the mir interface is revised we get out of sync. The mir team publishes a mir-libs snap that tracks these changes and exposes a mir-libs content interface. We should investigate if that can be used transparently by apps connected to the platform. as of this report they are out of sync.
