create snap package for bfg tool #339

Open jlosito opened 4 years ago

jlosito commented 4 years ago

It would be nice if I could install bfg through a snap package on my system.

Can't anyone create one of these packages? Sounds like this is looking for a volunteer.

It appears someone has created https://snapcraft.io/bfg-repo-cleaner

Hello, snap packager here. I was going to present it after the bfg default command alias is granted by the Snap Store though, but here it is. :smirk:

sudo snap install --beta bfg-repo-cleaner

File an issue if you found any problems regarding the snap!

Dear maintainer(s),

Snaps are universal Linux packages that can be installed and run on many GNU+Linux distributions with ease. I've been following the Snapcrafters instructions and have built a working snap on the Snap Store, you may try it by running the following commands after installing snapd:

# snap install --channel=beta bfg-repo-cleaner

I'm also looking forward to working with you to make the packaging work upstream (if you're interested). You may want to check out the current packaging recipe, the documentation, registering a developer account on the Snap Store, and get in touch with us to transfer the work under your control.

Thanks for your time and attention.

c.c. @rtyley I've invited you to be the snap's collaborator, feel free to check out the store backstage, etc.
