To make the review of your request easier, please use the following template to provide all the required details and also include any other information that may be relevant.

  • name: phoenix-firestorm-fans
  • description: viewer for the OpenSim virtual world
  • snapcraft: In the repo below
  • upstream: GitHub - fstltna/Phoenix_FireStorm: Client for the OpenSim virtual world
  • upstream-relation: independant developer
  • supported-category: terminal emulators, multiplexers and shells
  • reasoning: The app fails to run when in strict mode due to some .DLL’s not working properly. I also need to access files outside the snap for uploading/downloading world content

X - I understand that strict confinement is generally preferred over classic.

X - I’ve tried the existing interfaces to make the snap to work under strict confinement.

Note that snappy-debug can be used to identify possible required interfaces. See https://snapcraft.io/docs/debug-snaps for more information.

How exactly does your app relate to i.e. XTerm, gnome-terminal, bash, tmux or screen ? Note that matching the supported category exactly is mandatory for getting classic support granted, a viewer for VR worlds does not really seem to fit into the category you picked (and TBH I doubt you will find one that fits)

What exactly were the errors you saw with snappy-debug when trying strict confinement ?
