Hi,

I am newbie trying to compile the Ubuntu core for Raspberry Pi 3. I find the os.snap is used in building image.
I don’t find the corresponding source code. Is the OS SNAP open source ?

Thanks
Mari

Yes, the Ubuntu core snap is built with deb packages from the Ubuntu package archives.
You can download the source code by running the script.

Thanks. Is it working. I am getting below error
File “download.py”, line 56, in
downloadManifest(filename)
File “download.py”, line 45, in downloadManifest
manifest = yaml.load(open(filename, ‘r’))
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘/snap/core/current/snap/manifest.yaml’

You will need to pass manifest.yaml from the core snap to the script or run the script on a machine with core snap installed.
