It also uses a squashfs based gadget snap and follows the snap package names discussed during the most recent snappy sprint. Here is what it looks like on amd64: """ ubuntu@localhost:~$ snappy list Name Date Version Developer canonical-linux-pc 2015-12-14 4.3.0-2-1 canonical ubuntu-core <a href="tel:2015-12-17%2016" value="+12015121716">2015-12-17 16</a>.04.0-2 canonical canonical-pc <a href="tel:2015-12-17%202.1" value="+12015121721">2015-12-17 2.1</a> canonical """ Note that when looking at /boot/grub there is no unpacked kernel/initramfs anymore: """ ubuntu@localhost:~$ ls /boot/grub/ fonts grub.cfg grubenv i386-pc install.yaml locale x86_64-efi """ I also pushed a new rpi2 all-snap image which looks like this: """ ubuntu@localhost:~$ snappy list Name Date Version Developer canonical-linux-raspi2 2015-12-17 4.2.0-1014-2 canonical ubuntu-core-armhf <a href="tel:2015-12-17%2016" value="+12015121716">2015-12-17 16</a>.04.0-2 canonical canonical-pi2 2015-12-17 2.2 canonical """ There we do have to unpack the kernel/initrd as uboot does not support squashfs4. Updates from the store should work on both images (as long as we keep the snap package names :) But be warned that this is all pretty new stuff. Enjoy the new images!
