Canonical Announces Big Changes for ‘Future of Snapcraft’

Unexpectedly, Canonical has shared a new blog post covering ‘the future of Snapcraft’ — but don’t get carried away: they’re not moving away from Snap apps. In fact, they’re kinda doubling down. Canonical’s Igor Ljubuncic explains more in a relatively wordy-yet-vague blog post. He says that the current codebase for Snapcraft (the technology behind Snaps) will become “legacy” and a newer, smaller, and ‘even more modular’ Snapcraft codebase (dubbed ‘core22’) will take over. Yes, Canonical is rewiring Snapcraft. One hopes this address some of its present shortcomings and, again, one hopes the changes may broaden its appeal within the wider
