Reporting issues

Please report all issues on the Launchpad project page https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+filebug

Building

To build the core snap locally you need a clean chroot or container with Ubuntu 16.04. Inside this container or chroot run:

$ sudo apt install git snapcraft
$ git clone https://github.com/snapcore/core.git
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:snappy-dev/image
$ cd core
$ # now make any modifications of the Makefile you require (see below)
$ sudo snapcraft # (if you are not root already)

One easy way to customize the content of the built snap is including additional PPAs with custom packages in the EXTRA_PPAS variable inside the Makefile's ENV variable.

Another is to add a script snippet to live-build/hooks (where scripts with the ending .chroot are executed chrooted inside the resulting rootfs during build, the ones with .binary ending are run in the build environment from outside the resulting rootfs).

Launchpad builds should be done against xenial with the ~snappy-dev/ubuntu/image PPA as source archive and Updates as the default pocket.

Launchpad mirror and automatic builds.

All commits from the master branch of https://github.com/snapcore/core are automatically mirrored by Launchpad to the https://launchpad.net/core-snap project.

The master branch is automatically built from the launchpad mirror and published into the snap store to the edge channel.

You can find build history and other controls here: https://code.launchpad.net/~snappy-dev/+snap/core/
