(continuing from your new thread bump)
@soumyaDghosh, @igor has asked questions about what you’d like to do if upstream aren’t interested, which seems to be the case here.
For applications that don’t require classic confinement or super-privileged snapd interfaces this is not typically a problem, but given the access that classic confinement allows for, we prefer that the snap publisher and upstream are aware of each other’s activities. This provides users with some confidence that the snap will be maintained, and reviewers some confidence that the (highly privileged) snap is somewhat official.
Might I suggest that given you’re republishing their work, you re-engage with upstream?
Edit/update:
I see now that the snap was recently transferred to jwestman (upstream). This should make things easier, thank you.
