Any kind of native OS integration helps.
I wouldn't want to depend on another service (like snapcraft.io).
We have our own Jenkins instance on Apache. Can't we build the snaps ourselves?
We also have GitHub builds via Travis with dedicated Apache machines. Is it
also impossible to build these snaps with Travis?
At first, just having the scripts in place for these builds would be great
(your PR kinda does this already).
Then we have to see if this is a convenience binary we want to provide in the
future. If we commit on it, we have to maintain it. If it's just an experiment
we could have an alpha binary or something available.
It would be nice to comment what you are doing there. As somebody that never
used snap, it's unclear to me what these lines do:
sed -i 's/${HOME}\/.netbeans/${SNAP_USER_COMMON}\/data/'
$SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/netbeans/bin/netbeans
sed -i 's/${HOME}\/.cache\/netbeans/${SNAP_USER_COMMON}\/cache/'
$SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/netbeans/bin/netbeans
One of them seems to configure some caching? Is this NetBeans-level caching or
something snap specific?
