Gramps v6.0.0 is now available as a Snap from the Snapcraft store.

To install run:

sudo snap install --candidate gramps

The snap will be promoted from the candidate to the stable channel, once we get some positive feedback from testing.

It has been bundled with the same packages as our Flatpak:

  • ICU
  • PIL
  • osm-gps-map
  • GExiv2
  • geocodelib
  • goocanvas
  • graphviz
  • ghostscript
  • networkx

These should allow some popular addons to work.

Dictionaries are not currently included. This would be possible, but the package size would obviously increase.

Let us know what you think. Comments from people who already use snaps would be especially welcome.
