I definitively prefer a Debian package in main, even if it is "lagging behind" as you said. For such a thing as an IDE, I expect it to be mature enough so that the older version is enough for the everyday use. And I would feel safer than using any random snap package. Who knows what security issue is in there and what security policy and procedure (if any) is in place. > Don't get me wrong, I understand the rationales from a DFSG perspective. > I am just questioning whether users of this particular piece of software > would particularly care. I at least would care. And would very much welcome anyone doing the work of packaging and maintaining this kind of software. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
