Request classic confinement for deezer-linux

  • name: deezer-desktop
  • description: Unofficial port of Deezer Desktop Application. Deezer Desktop is only available on Windows and MacOS. This port only repackages Deezer Desktop for Windows to work on Linux, thanks to electron.
  • snapcraft: no snapcraft. electron-builder snap config instead
  • upstream: GitHub - aunetx/deezer-linux: An universal linux port of deezer, supporting Flatpak, Appimage, Snap, RPM, DEB...
  • upstream-relation: main maintainer
  • supported-category: electron application
  • reasoning: This application is based on Electron and cannot work under strict confinement because of that. We have tried to remove as much permissions as we could. We have tried plugs and slots (desktop, legacy, wayland
), but classic confinement is still needed.

I understand that strict confinement is generally preferred over classic.

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

This request has been added to the queue for review by the @reviewers team.

So, what exactly didn’t work?

Since you mentioned those plugins, I assume you didn’t use the gnome or kde-neon-6 extension, which may have made creating this Snap more difficult.

I created a snapcraft.yaml file for your app, using strict confinement and core24, and opened a pull request in the repository.
