LAS 2023 - Bringing Windows applications to Linux app stores with Wine snaps
By Merlijn Sebrechts (Ubuntu - Ghent University - imec)
This is an introduction to the sommelier-core project, which tries to make it as easy as possible to package a Windows application for Linux. It uses Wine and Snapcraft to create a universal Linux package containing a Windows app.
The project is currently used by about 40 snaps for open and closed source software such as Notepad++, foobar2000, Cryptool 1, and TrackMania Nations Forever.
I explain the long and complicated history of the project, how it works, the future roadmap, and end with a small demo showing how to get started packaging your first Windows app for Linux.
