[DEPRECATED] The classic-launch Remote Part

Lin-Buo-Ren · December 18, 2018, 9:39am

DEPRECATED: The remote part feature has been deprecated by Snapcraft and thus this shouldn’t be used in new snaps.

This remote part provides necessary runtime changes to deal with several problems in a snap with classic confinement, including:

PATH and LD_LIBRARY_DIR environment variable patching to make snaps in classic confinement have a similar environment with strict confinement snaps
WARNING: There is a reason why classic confinement snaps have a different environment than strictly confined snaps, this remote part doesn’t provide a fix for such problems and must be taken care by the packager themselves!

How to use

Merge the following snapcraft.yaml snippet:

parts:
   # Depended by classic-launch part
   workaround-snap-arch-triplet:

  # Deal with problems of classic snaps 
  classic-launch:

and prepend classic-launch to the apps command chain:

apps:
  _app_name_:
    command: bin/workaround-snap-arch-triplet "${SNAP}"/bin/classic-launch "${SNAP}"/bin/app-launch "${SNAP}"/bin/app

Happy snapcrafting!
