Canonical announced processing of Snapcraft toolkit

Canonical revealed Plans for the upcoming significant processing of tools Craft Parts , allowing when assembling packages to receive data from different sources, process them with different ways and form a catalog hierarchy in a FS, suitable for deploying packages. Craft Parts implies use in the project portable components that can be loaded independently from each other, collected and installed.

The selection of a new or old Snapcraft implementation will be carried out through a special Fallback-mechanism integrated into the assembly process. Thus, existing projects will be able to collect SNAP packets unchanged and require modifications only when transferring packets to a new version of the Ubuntu Core system.
