@fszymanski Thank you for your suggestions, contributions, PRs and your continued support of the project - I really appreciate it!
I guess that you are Snap expert. Therefore I would like to use this opportunity to ask you for help.
As you may noticed, I consolidated sources and distribution names towards the name HSTR, because hh/hstr ambiguity caused problems e.g. project must have unambiguous name before it will be accepted by major distribution(s) maintainers (BTW I agree with making the name consistent).
Therefore I would like to have snap registered for hstr
, but I'm not able to fix snapcraft.yaml configuration to make it build. You also sent PR https://github.com/dvorka/hstr/pull/314 which probably fixes snap build, but returns back to hh
name (this is why I didn't merged it yet). I have registered both hstr
and hh
on snapcraft.io, but I would like to go with hstr
. The problem is that I'm not able to convince snapcraft to pick hstr
(and ignore hh
) in bin/ directory (while building). The tool keeps to pick hh
regardles there is no hh
in snapcraft.yaml
. Perhaps the problem might be that automake-based build creates hstr
in bin/ directory + symlink hh
to hstr
. Does it make sense? Can I choose which binary to pick? Can I delete symlink as a part of snapcraft build?
Thank you in advance for any suggestion!

I'm hardly an expert when it comes to the snaps, but I will try to help as much as I can.

You can exclude the hh
binary from the snap in the parts/hstr/prime
subsection:
parts:
hstr:
...
prime:
- -bin/hh
Note: Notice the minus sign in front of the bin/hh
The snapcraft.yaml
file would look like this.
You can also have the hstr
and hh
binary file in the snap. In this case the apps
subsection would look like this:
apps:
hstr:
command: bin/hstr
hh:
command: bin/hh
Note: Now you have access to two executables hstr
and an alias hstr.hh
(and the prime
subsection is missing)
The snapcraft.yaml
file would look like this.
In both cases the hstr
is the primary executable.
@fszymanski These are great suggestions - thank you!
The
strict
confinement policy blocks access to the.bash_history
and.zsh_history
file in the$HOME
directory. Thehome
interface (plugs subsection) also does not help because it only guarantees access to non-hidden files.
