I’m having a hard time snapping ruptime, here’s what I have
and here’s upstream: GitHub - alexmyczko/ruptime: poor man’s ruptime
Any help/pointers are welcome, patches preferred.
Best, Alex

i think i even fail to provide a binary named ruptime when installing the snap…
Regarding the following snapcraft error message:
Command '['snap', 'pack', '--filename', 'ruptime_1.8_amd64.snap', '--compression', 'xz', PosixPath('/root/prime'), PosixPath('/root/project')]' returned non-zero exit status 1.
If you actually run the command in the build environment it will argue that it can’t find the bin/ruptime file in the prime tree:
../project# snap pack --filename ruptime_1.8_amd64.snap --compression xz /root/prime /root/project
2024/08/11 02:05:39.242382 container.go:393: in snap "ruptime": path "bin/ruptime" does not exist
2024/08/11 02:05:39.242441 container.go:393: in snap "ruptime": path "bin" does not exist
error: cannot pack "/root/prime": snap is unusable due to missing files
Your snapcraft.yaml specifies the ruptime app command to be bin/ruptime:
apps:
ruptime:
command: bin/ruptime
However, the path isn’t existed in the prime tree, which appears to have the ruptime executable in at the root directory:
../project# tree ~/prime/
/root/prime/
├── Dockerfile
├── LICENSE.md
├── README.md
├── etc
│ ├── cron.d
...stripped...
├── ruptime
├── ruptimed
...stripped...
10 directories, 18 files
You can either:
- Fix the
ruptimecommand’s executable path in theappstanza - Adjust your
ruptimepart to move theruptimeexecutable to thebindirectory under the prime tree
Hope it helps!

cool so i’ve changed bin/ruptime to ruptime in command: what about having symlinks for ruptime, called runame, rhw, rsw, rbench, rload, rdisk, rboot, rac, rwho? what about also providing manpage?
aha this might help: https://snapcraft.io/docs/snap-layouts
where and how would i define the depends? https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ruptime_1.8-1.html Depends: acct, bc, cron, dmidecode, memtester, netcat-openbsd | netcat-traditional, openssl, ucf, xz-utils
once that client works, next step is the web version and the daemon, as well as its configuration…
The proper way to do so is probably:
- Create those symlinks in the snap
- Declare app commands for each of these commands, with the app.appname.command property set to these symlinks
With this configuration you’ll be able to call these commands via the snapname.appname commands, in order to call these commands without the snapname. prefix you’ll have to request automatic aliasing in the store-requests subforum, refer the Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks forum topic for the details.
Via the stage-packages part property, refer Snapcraft parts metadata | Snapcraft documentation for the format.

ok the alias part sounds complicated, i’m probably faster just creating the symlinks within upstream, and then just installing them.
thanks for the stage-packages hint, i guess i’ll be able to set that up
now for amd64 i have edge version and stable version. how can i make the edge version the stable version?
eh ok almost good, but no not good:
