Tested this package on a clean Fedora 25 install. Everything looks fine and works well so far. However the rpmlint/rpmgrill errors is something we need to look into.

After some testing snapd works still fine for me. No big issues blocking this update spotted.

Upon installation the snapd.socket was not started. Something is not right with the preset handling.

[zyga@localhost ~]$ systemctl status snapd.socket | cat                         
● snapd.socket - Socket activation for snappy daemon                            
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/snapd.socket; enabled; vendor preset:
 enabled)                                                                       
   Active: inactive (dead)                                                      
   Listen: /run/snapd.socket (Stream)                                           
           /run/snapd-snap.socket (Stream)                                      

So this part was OK but the socket is inactive (dead) any ideas why?

I started the socket manually, installed hello-world. It has installed correctly although the formatting of the progress bar is incorrect. I suspect we are using an older version of the progress bar package.

Aha, may I notice that this was on a server variant, not sure if this is relevant.

I installed python0 which is a snap using classic confinement but those obviously don't run. I think that for as long as we don't have an answer for that we should fail in the daemon and return an error message with a link to a tracking bug.

I'm giving my +1 comment despite the remarks above as this is a big improvement and we can iterate on specific issues.

Tested latest version again and works fine for me.

I just tested this on F25 and it worked great out of the box :-) Thanks

I tried snapd on F25 on Linode and see that it works straight. I see that snaps are installed in /var/lib/snapd/snap and the path variable in the shell is not set automatically, so I am unable to call the apps/binaries exposed in the snap. Instead, I need to refer to the absolute path-

[root@li421-251 ~]# ll /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr  7 22:51 hello-world -> /usr/bin/snap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr  7 22:51 hello-world.env -> /usr/bin/snap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr  7 22:51 hello-world.evil -> /usr/bin/snap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr  7 22:51 hello-world.sh -> /usr/bin/snap
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr  7 22:54 httpstat -> /usr/bin/snap

[root@li421-251 ~]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

[root@li421-251 ~]# hello-world
-bash: hello-world: command not found
[root@li421-251 ~]# /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/hello-world
Hello World!

For reference-

[root@li421-251 ~]# snap --version
snap    2.23.6-4.fc25
snapd   2.23.6-4.fc25
series  16
fedora  25

kernel 4.9.7-x86_64-linode80

The path is loaded via a profile.d snippet, so the path change takes effect on next logon. There's not much that can be done about that, unfortunately.

Thanks for the update @ngompa!
