KDE Connect Indicator wants a snap package

If anyone’s looking for something to Snap up, this upstream wants help

https://github.com/Bajoja/indicator-kdeconnect/issues/49

Presumably needs Dbus integration so could be a challenge!

Mentioned this thread there.

How would I go about writing this snapcraft.yaml (if I got round to it) given that it needs Dbus integration?

@Ads20000 There is a dbus interface you can use for this. https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/wiki/Interfaces#dbus has a few details about how to use this interface. Depending on what the indicator needs to do something like

plugs:
  kdeconnect-dbus:
    interface: dbus
    bus: session
    name: com.bajoja.kdeconnectindicator

apps:
  indicator-kdeconnect: 
    command: ...
    plugs: [kdeconnect-dbus]

will get you started.
