Yes, snap packages have us worried about the forced upgrade too. We decided, thought, that for people attempting to figure out FRRouting that this would be a good way to allow people to try us out. I know Martin was looking at this at one point and I do not remember what he came up with. Martin do you remember? donald On 9/1/2018 6:03 PM, o1bigtenor wrote:

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