To get stubbox (which is plainbox with a dummy provider for evaluation) on a armv7 snappy device please follow along. NOTE: arch is not all, this is a binary package, despite the name.
tl;dr; wget "https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivuqwadfd37a116/stubbox_0.21.2_all.snap?dl=1" -o stubbox_0.21.2_all.snap snappy-remote --url=ssh://1.2.3.4 install ./stubbox_0.21.2_all.snap Replace the 1.2.3.4 above with the IP address of your board. On the actual device you can run any of the stubbox jobs (with confinement!): (BeagleBoneBlack)ubuntu@bb2:~$ stubbox.stubbox run -i 2013.com.canonical.plainbox::stub/dependency/good You can put your .provider definition files in ~/apps/stubbox.sideload/0.21.2/.local/share/plainbox-providers-1 and they will be picked up by stubbox.stubbox As for the not-so-short-version: This relies on: - native building on beagle running regular 14.04 - upstream pex, to build the .pex file - zip, unzip and change some of the files inside - __main__.py is patched to work around bug [2] - additional shared libraries needed for python3-lxml are provided in snap-top-level lib/ directory - those are libexslt.so.0 libgcrypt.so.11 libxml2.so.2 libxslt.so.1 - rpath of _each_ .so file is set with patchelf --set-rpath '/apps/stubbox.sideload/current/lib/' - this implies the snap won't work unless side-loaded :-((( - we can make a "production" version that can be uploaded into the store though - I need to experiment with $ORIGIN to see if this will work for interpreted stuff - this includes .so files built by pex / setuptools natively None of this mess is automated yet. If you have any questions, please ask.
