Join Snapcrafters

Love this so much! Great to have a centralised way for co-ordinating all this and hacking on various snapcraft.yamls as well as more of a proper Snapcrafters team! Hope this goes far! :smiley:

Is it possible for Snapcrafters to make snaps for non-free software or it needs to be FOSS?

You can make snaps of non-free software. See here for an example from the legend that is Martin Wimpress!

Just to note, as someone responsible for an official snap package of a project (the LDC D compiler): it’s sometimes still useful, even where official packages are concerned, to define them as “external” snaps.

The reason is that this separates versioning of the snap package from versioning of the upstream project. For example, LDC can be built against various LLVM backend versions: having the snap external to the main project makes it easier to update this packaging choice without needing to tag point releases of the upstream compiler.

@AsciiWolf Yes, non-free snaps are perfectly fine just as @Ads20000 says :slight_smile:

@joseph.wakeling That is useful feedback and something we can craft some words for I think. Thanks.

I’d like to become the maintainer of the Mattermost snap. It doesn’t seem like it has a maintainer currently, I have a pull request pending for 7 days.

Hi @m4sk1n,

We can import that into github.com/snapcrafters and transfer the snap name over to the “snapcrafters” account with your approval.

Do note that I cannot get a working snap build from your yaml: https://github.com/m4sk1n/facebook-cli/issues/1

Super excited to join the community of Snapcrafters!

Your snap appears to have no content. You have not customized the snapcraft.yaml to actually build anything, so there would be no benefit to our importing it into the snapcrafters organization yet. Once you have a working snap published into the store and have uploaded the working snapcraft.yaml into your repository we can look at it again.

There is also no snap in the store called guessit in the stable channel yet. Have you published it in a different channel or under a different name?

i have redone it

That’s awesome! Thank you so much! Works well here on Ubuntu 18.04. Would you like me to import it into the snapcrafters repo so the community can maintain it there?

Yes, please import it to snapcrafters and register the name in the store.

Done. I’ll post a request for classic confinement shortly too.

Ok, this is now in the stable channel! Thanks again @thymythos
