This snap ships a build of cURL with [Metalink][1] support to provide a workaround for Debianish GNU/Linux distribution where the feature is not enabled due to the missing packaging of libmetalink([Debian][2], [Ubuntu][3]).
This snap does not guarantee to be up-to-date with upstream and free of security exploits, and is only recommended for downloading metalinks only.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:
sudo dnf install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
