Unofficial Snap Packaging for wimlib

This is the unofficial snap packaging for wimlib, Snaps are universal Linux packages.

Refer snap/README.md for user-oriented information.

Remaining Tasks

Snapcrafters (join us) are working to land snap install documentation and the snapcraft.yaml upstream so wimlib can authoritatively publish future releases.

• Import the Snapcrafters Template Plus repository to your own GitHub account and name it as snap_name-snap (or any valid name you prefer) using GitHub's Import repository feature
  • It is recommended to avoid forking the template repository unless you're working on the template itself because you can only fork a repository once
• Update the description of the repository
• Update logos and references to [Project], my-awesome-app and other placeholder names in README.md, snap/README.md, and snap/snapcraft.yaml
• Add upstream contact information to this README.md
• Create a snap that runs in devmode, or in classic confinement if that's not possible
  • If the snap must be packaged under classic confinement, file a classic confinement request topic in the Snapcraft Forum, under the store topic category - template - link
• Add a screenshot to snap/README.md
• Register the snap in the Snap Store, using the preferred upstream name(i.e. without custom postfix). If the preferred upstream name is not available or reserved, file a request to take over the preferred upstream name and temporary use a name with personal postfix instead.
• (Blocked by manual review)Setup build.snapcraft.io and publish the devmode snap in the Snap Store edge channel
• Add the provided Snapcraft build badge to snap/README.md
• Update snap's metadata, icons and screenshots on the dashboard
• Add install instructions to snap/README.md
• File an Intent-To-Package issue/bug to the upstream's contact or issue/bug tracker to consolidate and let the upstream acknowledge the effort - template - link
• Convert the snap to strict confinement, or classic confinement if it qualifies
• Publish the confined snap in the Snap store beta channel
• Update the install instructions in snap/README.md
• Post a call for testing on the Snapcraft Forum - link
• Publish the snap in the Snap Store stable channel
• Update the install instructions in snap/README.md
• Post an announcement in the Snapcraft Forum - template - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds the snapcraft.yaml and any required assets/launchers - example - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds snap install documentation - example - link

Depending on the upstream's response:

• If the upstream accepts the PRs AND willing to maintain the package on the Snap Store:
  • Request upstream create a Snap Store developer account
  • Contact the Snap Advocacy team to request the snap be transferred to upstream - template - link
• Otherwise:
  • Ask a Snapcrafters admin to fork your/upstream's repo into github.com/snapcrafters, transfer the snap name from you to snapcrafters, and configure the repo for automatic publishing into edge on commit - template - link

• Ask the Snap Advocacy team to celebrate the snap - link

If you have any questions, post in the Snapcraft forum.
