Packaging Etcher as a snap app
See original GitHub issueHi guys, I have packed Etcher as a snap. The snap cannot run with the normal strict
confinement because it needs to use pkexec
or kdesudo
when you click on ‘Flash!’. It seems there is no available plug to overcome this but the app works fine with classic
confinement.
I am interested in uploading and maintaining the snap port (if snapcrafters approve the classic confinement). If you are happy with that, do you have any preferences for the name of the snap:
etcher
balena-etcher
balena-etcher-electron
?

@lurch thanks for the background 😛 it does feel a little odd to have “balena-etcher-electron” instead of just “balena-etcher” but we do have plans to bring back the CLI soon™ so having some distinction is still accurate (to a certain extent 😄)
Cool 👍 I mentioned the other issue because IMHO it’s nice to keep all related discussions inter-linked for future reference 🙂
