Unofficial Snap Packaging for XML Toolkit from the GNOME Project

This is the unofficial snap packaging for XML Toolkit from the GNOME Project, 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 XML Toolkit from the GNOME Project 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] and [my-snap-name] in README.md, snap/snapcraft.yaml, and snap/README.md
• Add upstream contact information to this README.md
• Create a snap that runs in devmode
• Add a screenshot to snap/README.md
• Register the snap in the 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.
• Publish the devmode snap in the Snap store edge channel
• Add install instructions to snap/README.md
• Update snap store metadata, icons and screenshots
• 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
• Add the provided Snapcraft build badge to snap/README.md
• Publish the snap in the Snap store stable channel
• Update the install instructions in snap/README.md
• Post an announcement in the Snapcraft Forum - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds snap install documentation - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds the snapcraft.yaml and any required assets/launchers - link

Depending on the upstream's response:

• If the upstream accepts the PR:
  • Request upstream create a Snap store account
  • Contact the Snap Advocacy team to request the snap be transferred to upstream
• If the upstream rejects the PR:
  • Ask a Snapcrafters admin to fork your repo into github.com/snapcrafters, transfer the snap name from you to snapcrafters, and configure the repo for automatic publishing into edge on commit - link

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

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