This commit adds a snapcraft.yaml file to allow lz4 to be distributed as a snap (see https://snapcraft.io/ for more info on snaps). Building the Snap ----------------- To build the snap simply install snapcraft and build the snap e.g. on Ubuntu by doing: $ sudo apt install snapcraft $ cd contrib; snapcraft This will build a snap that can be published [1] to e.g. https://snapcraft.io/lz4 If you want to test the snap before publishing you can do: $ snap install <snapname>.snap --dangerous And that will install it on your local host. You will then have lz4 as a command to run. Installing the Snap ------------------- Once published and released in the snapstore your snap can be installed on any platform that supports snaps by doing: snap install lz4 [1] https://docs.snapcraft.io/releasing-to-the-snap-store

Snap Packaging
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the config required to generate a snap package
|
|
of lz4. Snaps are universal Linux packages that allow you to easily
|
|
build your application from any source and ship it to any Linux
|
|
distribution by publishing it to https://snapcraft.io/. A key attribute
|
|
of a snap package is that it is (ideally) confined such that it
|
|
executes within a controlled environmenti with all its dependencies
|
|
bundled with it and does not share dependencies with of from any other
|
|
package on the system (with a couple of minor exceptions).
|
|
|
|
The basic anatomy and workflow is:
|
|
|
|
* ensure snap.snapcraft.yaml is up-to-date e.g. with version info
|
|
|
|
* build the snap by installing the snapcraft package and running it
|
|
|
|
* push snap/* changes to the repo (excluding any crud generated by a build of course)
|
|
|
|
* register yourself as owner of lz4 name in snapstore
|
|
|
|
* publish new snap to the snap store
|
|
|
|
* install snap by doing 'snap install lz4' on any Linux distro
|
|
|
|
* all installed copies of lz4 will be automatically updated to your new version
|
