Ubuntu Software Center deployment - snapcraft example?

Linux
1

I just want to deploy my app for use in Ubuntu software center, how do I go about doing that?

I downloaded the Kickstart software and then renamed the files and copied them to my bin/DesktopGL/x86/Release folder. I also modified the script with the renamed files. That seems to work.

I’ve read thru the documentation on setting up a snapcraft.yaml and it’s really confusing to me. How do I set up a snapcraft.yaml file for deploying this?

Also does snapcraft need to check for Mono dependency or does the Kickstart take care of that?

I went ahead and posted this question on AskUbuntu as well:

Also I started working on an application to streamline the process, I want to make it easy to deploy games to Ubuntu:

Just gonna mention that MG will have a tool for packaging: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame.Packager I don’t have time to work on it right now, but once my exams pass I’ll finish it up. Currently it can only generate Kickstart zips.

Cool, seems like it will be pretty nice once you’re able to finish it :slight_smile:
