Description
We want to make it as easy as possible to publish Windows applications in the Snap Store for Linux. For this reason, we created the sommelier project, which 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.
We 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.
