Not sure I follow. The snap can contain whatever you want, binaries, libraries etc. At build time you can specify 'build-packages' required by the compilation, and 'stage-packages' required to be inside the snap at runtime. Here's [0] an example yaml (for ffmpeg) which might illustrate this. I knocked this together via a bit of trial and error, so it's not necessarily confirming to your build standards or recommended enabled options, but it should give you an idea. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~popey/+junk/ffmpegmaster/view/head:/snap/snapcraft.yaml > It'd be debatable which dependencies the built ffmpeg includes.

The snap itself is a squashfs file so is compressed and read-only on-disk. So in some circumstances ends up being a smaller on-disk footprint than a traditional install of ffmpeg via a typical package manager. We also support delta updates to minimise download (and upload) bandwidth. Our build service (backed by launchpad) can do the builds for you too, if needed. > I'll have a look at this if nobody else is super eager to jump at it. > That would be awesome. Thanks. We have a forum [1] where the snapd and snapcraft developers hang out. If you get stuck in terms of documentation or bugs, feel free to post there or ping me personally.
