This package will let you publish the latest warp in the Ubuntu store, and from there reach many users on all the supported Ubuntu versions, and more Linux distributions in progress.

Hello @spolu,

I used warp to test the upcoming release of snapcraft, a new packaging system that we are developing here at ubuntu. You can read more about it in https://snapcraft.io

This is a very handy tool. I though you might want to put it in the store. To do so, you just have to configure the automatic continuous delivery in https://build.snapcraft.io.

To test this in an Ubuntu 16.04 machine:

$ sudo apt install git snapcraft
$ git clone https://github.com/elopio/warp
$ cd warp
$ git checkout snapcraft
$ snapcraft
$ sudo snap install *.snap --dangerous

(--dangerous because the snap you build doesn't come signed from the store. Once you publish it, your users will just have to do sudo snap install warp).

We are actively developing snapcraft and the store, and your feedback will be very appreciated. Specially, because we are trying to make snaps very secure. For that reason, with this snap you won't be able to give write access to the clients, to do so you would have to change confinement: classic. We are interested in hearing from people developing apps that require elevated permissions to fully work, like yours.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

pura vida.
