> oSoMoN, why the heck dont we blog left and right about this ^^^ :)
<ogra> (i just had another "snaps are too big" discussion with someone ... and actually checked the sizes for the first time ... what a surprise :)
<ijohnson> ogra: maybe popey should update that blog post?
<ogra> well, its a bit unfair given you have 3 copies with the snap ... so you lose the advatage in the end again ... but the fact alone that the snap itself is 80M smaller is definitely not well known among the haters (and their parrots)
<joeubuntu> Sorry for all the question... now that I am using build.snapcraft.io what does my snapcraft.yaml have to look like ? prior to using b.s.io I manually copied my files in to files/bin/* ?  In the repo they are just in the root.  I imagine I need to just update wrapper: source: to / and change the command from bin/foo to /foo ?
<ijohnson> joeubuntu: so you have some files that are just on your mahcine's filesystem that need to be in the snap? if it doesn't make sense to put those files into your git repository, then you usually would either build those files inside a part in your snapcraft.yaml or upload those files somewhere and use the dump plugin in snapcraft with a source pointing to wherever you uploaded those files
<ijohnson> does that make sense?
<zyga> re
<joeubuntu> ijohnson thanks,  I'll poke around. Thanks for the tips!

<oSoMoN> ogra, yeah, IÂ wrote about it at some point to answer one of those "snaps are big" claim
<oSoMoN> to be fair, that's quite the exception, snaps do tend to be bigger than their deb counterparts
<oSoMoN> which is totally normal, given that they embed their dependencies
<mvo> zyga: I addressed some of the feedback in 7629 in 7613, probably best to focus on 7613 for now and once that landed I will work o
