Snap package creation and development thread
Closed this issue · 12 comments
Creating this issue to discuss on the snap package. There needs some changes with complying the snap confinement. I will try to create PRs if possible. But, one thing that needs to be changed is the home. In snaps, home isn't directly assigned to $HOME, rather use, $SNAP_REAL_HOME. Most of the problems will be fixed there. And disable the flatpak apps thing in snap package, please.
Hello, I disabled saving Flatpak apps in the Snap version and setted up the $SNAP_REAL_HOME in the snapcraft.yaml.
Hey, thanks but as my PR has been merged, it's not needed anymore. And some changes are needed in the snapcraft.yaml itself. I'll try to fix them.
I tried SaveDesktop in the snap version (from building snapcraft.yaml file), and the app works excelently. It works sync, periodic saving, manual import and saving. How does it look with the savedesktop application name assignment? My email that is linked to my Snapstore account is: super-vik1@protonmail.com.

Sent you the collaboration request.

Are you testing on Fedora based distro? Because snap confinement often doesn't work in Fedora due to their regression to use SeLinux.
I can not release the successful build, because it requires the manual review. Why it happen?
It's because of the dbus declarations. Kindly wait. I am working on that completely from scratch. Those declarations will not be necessary at all. Kindly wait a day or two.
Once again, I was denied a build:
Rejected by Alex Murray. “The personal-files interface is a super-privileged interface (https://snapcraft.io/docs/super-privileged-interfaces). If your snap legitimately requires this access, please follow the process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks (https://snapcraft.io/docs/process-for-aliases-auto-connections-and-tracks) and create a post in the 'store-requests' category requesting its use.” — Alex Murray
Yup.. just as said there, personal files, login-session-control all these are super privileged and sensitive plugs. So, needs to make an auto connect in the forum. That's it.

Keep an eye on this. You might be called here for vetting.
It looks like the reviewers don't care about the auto-connection requirement. Is it possible to use something else that would not require an auto-connect requirement, e.g. renaming the interface for personal files?
Actually it's sprints going on. So, most of the reviewers are out in Riga. But until then as the name says, users can manually connect to the plug with a command or from the settings app in Ubuntu. But still we'll need to have the option to upload it. Kindly wait and have patience. A lot of snaps are in the queue due to this summit and sprint. And don't worry, I'll handle the snap package.
@vikdevelop Kindly look into the forum, they need you for publisher vetting
