Hi,

Thanks for the email, very interesting, and lowers the bar for me to use
snaps.

Whilst the Debian package is 1.12.0, and the snap is 1.14.0, both are fairly
old. I guess the Debian freeze stopped upgrade in Debian Sid, and I guess it
requiring volunteers is stopping both the Debian package and the snap being
updated.

The Linuxbrew formula is 1.16.0 but it requires rebuild of some very big
packages that are not bottled.

I will continue to prioritise Debian packages, but I have now added snaps to
Linuxbrew for specific packages that Debian doesn't provide to the required
level. As to whether to snap or brew, I am not yet sure what to get from
which.
