When I first saw this, I thought "strange, maybe if Gentoo develops an |
| 18 |
'esnap' in order to build the container-package locally" but then I |

When Flatpak's ready, someone'll make it available and/or package it. |

[AFAIK, Flatpak's for GUI apps accessed via Gnome Software so it's not |

quite a Snap competitor.] |
