Auto-connection request for gimp plug: gimp-plugins

store-requests privileged-interfaces

Sorry for the delay in my response. If you think that the second option is not doable, we will need to go with the first one.

Context:

  • snap-declarations are created and maintained in the store side to define which connections/auto-connections are allowed for every snap.
  • Some content snaps, such as gtk-common-themes or gnome-46-2404, were granted global auto-connection to their slots. Any snap can auto-connect to these content slots by default.
  • Adding a content plug (such as gimp-plugins) to the snap-declaration makes snapd to ignore global auto-connections (as for gtk-common-themes or gnome-46-2404).

Thus, to enable gimp to auto-connect to gimp-plugins, without breaking other required auto-connections, we will need to keep the snap-declaration (store side) in sync with gimp requirements (snapcraft.yaml). It means that when you update the snapcraft.yaml to add/update content plugs (e.g. moving from gpu-2404 to gpu-2604) you will need to ask us to update the snap-declaration accordingly.

Does it sounds feasible?

Thanks
