I had occasion to experiment with canonical's lxd which forced me to<br>
use snapd. In the process of this education I found that canonical<br>
forced dialy upgrades/updates (not sure which is the correct term). In<br>
trying to tame this insistence of ET's on calling home I got to a<br>
solution, suggested on the snapd forum which seemed to work. The<br>
result was that every month (the new updating frequency) my system<br>
would shut itself down because I had refused to let it connect to the<br>
snapd and lxd mother ships.<br>
<br>
Your FRRouting, that I have just found, looks like quite interesting<br>
stuff but I'm seeing where installing from snapcraft is considered an<br>
option. As I have had quite some pain from snapcraft/snapd I am<br>
curious as to why something that forced daily upgrades/updates is<br>
being used to install software that 'just needs to work'?<br>
<br>
If this kind of question is considered 'not nice' I will apologize in<br>
advance but I still would like to understand the logic behind choosing<br>
this method of installation.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
