I’m happy to report that we’re almost there. The current master carries an updated PKGBUILD. Once the code is checked out, you can:
cd packaging/arch
makepkg --nocheck -i
This will build a snapd-git
package and install it.
We are still short of these 2 PRs:
-
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/4185 (fixes for
account-control
interface) - https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/4209 (assorted shellcheck fixes)
Once these are merged, it will be possible to drop --nocheck
and the package will be ready for AUR.
Note, the updated package adds a symlink /snap -> /var/lib/snapd/snap
so that --classic
applications such as blender can work.
I’d be happy to hear about your results.
