[OBSOLETED] The ncurses-launch Remote Part

Deprecated: The remote part feature has become obsolete in the recent versions of Snapcraft and should be avoided, refer The ncurses-launch launcher: Fix ncurses applications in the snap runtime - doc - snapcraft.io for the latest implementation.

This part provides fixes to ncurses applications to function correctly.

How to use

Merge the following snippet to your snapcraft.yaml:

parts:
  # Remote part for fixing ncurses applications
  ncurses-launch:

and insert "${SNAP}"/bin/ncurses-launch before any command or launcher that requires it in the app command chain:

apps:
  nano:
    command: >
      bin/ncurses-launch
      "${SNAP}"/bin/nano-launch
      "${SNAP}"/bin/nano
