Packaging Etcher as a snap app

See original GitHub issue

Hi 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 😄)

Yep, I have seen the thread and @thundron reply.

Cool 👍 I mentioned the other issue because IMHO it’s nice to keep all related discussions inter-linked for future reference 🙂
