Global auto-connections for `npu-libs-2404` and `openvino-libs-2404`

Hello! I’d like to request global auto-connections for the two content interfaces described below (npu-libs-2404 and openvino-libs-2404). These interfaces currently already auto-connect for GIMP only, but there have been issues with broken auto-connections in the GIMP snap due to a mixture of global auto-connections and auto-connections explicitly declared in snapcraft.yaml, which snapd cannot handle. See more background on this request in GIMP auto-connection to theme snaps.

  • name: gimp, audacity, others in the future (e.g. obs-studio)
  • description: gimp - image processing, audacity - audio processing.
  • snapcraft: gimp snapcraft.yaml and audacity snapcraft.yaml
  • upstream: gimp and audacity
  • upstream-relation: n/a
  • interfaces:
    • <interface-name>: npu-libs-2404 (provided by intel-npu-driver snap)
      • request-type: global auto-connection
      • reasoning: better experience for snap developers, better snapd reliability with existing snaps that already use auto-connections
    • <interface-name>: openvino-libs-2404 (provided by openvino-toolkit-2404 snap)
      • request-type: auto-connection
      • reasoning: better experience for snap developers, better snapd reliability with existing snaps that already use auto-connections
