lp:~aaron-whitehouse/duplicity/07-snap

Created by Aaron Whitehouse on 2019-03-14 and last modified on 2019-05-30

This branch contains the work to support snap packages (on the 0.7-series). The mailing list thread on this work and the rationale starts here:
https://lists.launchpad.net/duplicity-team/msg04838.html

The code can only be converted into a snap after it has been versioned (versions that have had dist/makedist run on them). Once merged, the expectation would be that snapcraft would be run in the folder of the extracted tar.gz after it is released.

You can test it out as follows:
1) Branch the code
2) Run ./dist/makedist 0.7.0.999
3) Extract the resulting .tar.gz to ~/Temp/duplicity-0.7.0.999
4) Within ~/Temp/duplicity-0.7.0.999, run 'snapcraft'
5) 'duplicity_0.7.0.999_amd64.snap' will be in the folder.
6) You can install this using 'snap install duplicity_0.7.0.999_amd64.snap --classic --dangerous'
7) Test you are using this duplicity: $ which duplicity
/snap/bin/duplicity
8) Test the version: $ duplicity --version
duplicity 0.7.0.999

See also the duplicity part of deja dup, which I have come across since writing this:

  - Just a tiny fix to clean up the temporary file we create to find the root ID.
    It's a little surprising for the user if they wind up with this file called
    "i_am_in_root" that they don't know where it came from. Almost sounds like
    they were hacked.
1371. By Kenneth Loafman on 2019-01-26: Bug #1813214 was marked fixed in 0.7.13. There were still a couple of copy.com references remaining in the docs and web. Got those nuked, finally.
