Refresh latest/stable channel for snap users to update ST

#1

My Sublime Text 4 just informed me that an update was available. Since I installed it using snap I wanted to update it using snap but snap tells me that no ST updates are available. My current build is 4121 and the latest build is 4126.

snap refresh sublime-text       
snap "sublime-text" has no updates available

We don’t ship Sublime Text using snap, so that’s being provided by a third party. I’d suggest using the official repository or asking whoever makes the snap to update it.

So how was I able to install ST from snap? Wasn’t it you who published ST in snap?

Nope. As I said the snap is provided by a 3rd party - no association with Sublime HQ.

ST was available both via Snap within Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and via the APT package installer, named sublime-text.
Like yourself, I originally went to Snap after switching to Ubuntu.
But on general advice about Snap from Linux veterans, I removed all Snap applications that were available via the APT package installer. I would advise you to do likewise if you can.

The same applies to Sublime Merge - currently at version 2068.
I got the ST v.4126 and SM v.2068 updates today via the APT updater.
