5 years ago well, there is a problem with setting capabilities in snap.
then i found that sway is already packaged as "deb" since ubuntu 19.04 "disco"
so, currently, I have no reason to continue building the project.
here is a similar problem with cap's:
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/wireshark-and-setcap/9629
if really needed, i could update the package to a newer source version...

4 years ago Did you manage to run the snap in classic mode?
I was working on getting the snap running with sway 1.2 on my sway_1.2 branch: https://github.com/christianrauch/sway-snap/blob/sway_1.2/snap/snapcraft.yaml
Feel free to take from my yaml. I believe my snap should result in a smaller package, since it has less dependencies / relies on less packages in the stage-packages.
I was not able to build the snap yet, since there is some issue with the json-c package within the snap environment. It gets installed properly, but sway parts is unable to find these headers.

4 years ago Hi chrisian,
Thank you :-)
Currently i still use --devmode instead of classic.
i just started a thread here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/sway-an-i3-compatible-wayland-compositor/14277
I could build the snap, but in newer versions it doesn't start. An older version was able to start.
On the forum is a script to repackage the snap with "setcap".
Later i will reduce the stage-packages. It's just experimental, for now ... ;-)

4 years ago yes, i wanted.
But there was so demand on #snapcraft (freenode)
Is there a chance that this gets updated to sway 1.2 and released as stable to the snap store?
