"Canonical developers told us that it has always been a "nightmare" month-long project to package Jenkins in deb format because of this application's various Java dependencies. But they were able to snap Jenkins into place in a weekend, putting all the dependencies into a container without having to worry about Java version mismatches, they said. Now users can install Jenkins with the terminal command, snap install jenkins. Snaps can also be published to the Ubuntu Software store."
