Feature request: Precompiled binary about gtop HOT 4 CLOSED

hi @mholt ,

maybe we can use something like pkg to create binary builds.

Also there already exists a snap package for gtop:

sudo snap install --edge gtop 

from gtop.

Snap packages or their dependencies do not affect your system:

What is a snap?

A snap :

• is a squashFS filesystem containing your app code and a snap.yaml file containing specific metadata. It has a read-only file-system and, once installed, a writable area.
• is self-contained. It bundles most of the libraries and runtimes it needs and can be updated and reverted without affecting the rest of the system.
• is confined from the OS and other apps through security mechanisms, but can exchange content and functions with other snaps according to fine-grained policies controlled by the user and the OS defaults.

Sounds good to me, thanks! Does the snap install npm and stuff locally or does it just plop the binary in the PATH?

from gtop.

Ah, thanks!
