Personal files request for Typst

  • name: typst
  • description: A new markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn
  • snapcraft: GitHub - typst/typst-snap: The definition for Typst's snap
  • upstream: GitHub - typst/typst: A markup-based typesetting system that is powerful and easy to learn.
  • upstream-relation: Snap maintained by Typst team
  • interfaces:
    • personal-files: (reading $XDG_DATA_HOME/typst, commonly set to $HOME/.local/share/typst)
      • request-type: installation and auto-connection
      • reasoning: This is where Typst accesses packages local to the user’s machine. There is demand from the community for this interface to auto-plug (see issue #2 on the typst-snap repo; cannot post more than two links as a new user).
    • personal-files: (writing in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/typst, commonly set to $HOME/.cache/typst)
      • request-type: installation and auto-connection
      • reasoning: Typst uses this path for storing and caching packages from the Typst Universe. This allows seamless sharing of packages between snap and non-snap installations.

Hey @reknih

Both directories are clearly owned by typst. Thus, +1 from me for granting typst access to the requested directories via personal-files interface after publisher vetting (#voteFor).

Unless I’m mistaken, rules don’t support XDG_DATA_HOME or XDG_CACHE_HOME envvars, so we will need to limit it $HOME/.local/share/typst and $HOME/.cache/typst

Thanks!

Hello @reknih

+1 (#voteFor) from my side too, as both directories are clearly owned by the snap. :slight_smile:
