Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1374

What happened?

There is no v2.4.0 snap published on any channel, afaik. Are there any plans to publish it to stable? The latest stable snap is 2.3.3 from 4 Aug 2020; and the latest on edge is 2.3.3-293-g00e182d2 from just 2 days ago, then it just stopped. Maybe check the snap autobuild job? (The snap badge in the README is apparently broken showing the alt text, btw). Ideally if edge builds were fine, you would just need to pick one and promote it to candidate or stable for all supported architectures.

By the way, should the release instructions maybe include any snap-specific steps?

Let me know if I can help! Congrats on the new release, btw \o/

We unfortunately don't control the snap builds, please contact the maintainer of the snap package directly.

Well, it's owned by an ex-member of the project, but I have some limited access. I have updated the stable channel to v2.4.0, but for reasons unknown to me, I cannot add v2.3.4 to the channels.

A build has been triggered, if someone using Snap has any issues with it, ping me - I use Flatpak myself... on the note of Flatpak, I do have access to that as well.

OK, so a new Snap build for v2.4.0 is ready. For unknown reasons, the v2.3.4 release is not 'seen' by Snapcraft. v2.4.0 is on the stable channel.

Thanks @shymega! Glad you're now in control of the snap.
Are automatic edge builds still up and running? It looks like the edge channel has been closed in the last couple of days. Actually, I have installed a snap from edge that's no longer published:

No worries.

Yeah, I disabled the Edge channel until I can get an automatic Snap release going, and I also need to read up on the edge channel. My understanding is that the Edge channel would be the Snap equivalent of mainline on Git..?

I can republish Edge to v2.4.0 if you'd like me to, or if others need it. I can't seem to get v2.3.4 on the Snap though, which is quite irritating.

Exactly, edge is "for users wanting to closely track development" and it is supposed to contain builds from main or master. That's the main use case of build.snapcraft.io afaik.

I wouldn't worry about v2.3.4 honestly, having v2.4.0 already. If you really want to publish it, I think the right way to do it would be to ask the snap store admins to open a track for it, so that users would be able to install from e.g. v2.3/stable. But again, I don't think it's much use really.

@shymega commented on GitHub (Nov 5, 2021):

Right. Currently, I can't even set up webhooks to trigger a Snap build. I don't have permission to create webhooks on this repo. Ideally, that's how I'd like it to be, that way we can build an Edge snap when master/main updates... but in terms of v2.3.4, I'll ask about that, as I think it'd be a good compromise for Snap users who merely don't want to use v2.4.0 just yet, but also want security fixes.

Thanks for the advice though.

Just fyi, snaps can also be built on Github and published to the Snap Store with snapcore/action-build and snapcore/action-publish.

Hm. We use Azure Pipelines, and I don't think we use Actions for this sort of stuff. I'd also rather do it on Snapcraft, as it can then do it's "security vulns checking" it emails me about ;)

Thanks for the pointer.

Sure. Snaps don't need to be built on Snapcraft for the security checks to be enabled. It scans published snaps themselves afaik, as long as they were built with SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_INFO=1 (which the action-build already does).
