Publishing snap to the snap store

[jnsgruk]

Now the build process for snaps is sorted on both arm64 and amd64, can we get the snap listed and published on the snap store to enable people to just snap install --classic yazi.

There is some community process behind getting approval for classic, etc. But I'm happy to guide through that process if needed 🙂

Absolutely! I'd love to see Yazi on the Snap Store.

In fact, I tried it in #1631, but unfortunately, it failed due to the classic confinement, so I'd really appreciate it if you could offer some guidance on this 🙏🏻!

So the process is to post a Discourse post requesting classic confinement for the snap.

The full process is here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/process-for-reviewing-classic-confinement-snaps/1460

I think yazi could qualify under:

• access to files on the host outside the snap’s runtime (eg, /usr)

Snap confinement is obviously designed to restrict access to files on the filesystem, but that seems odd with with yazi since it's a file manager! I'd drop a post in the store-requests category per the process and see how it goes.

Feel free to tag me (same handle) if you need 🙂

Once we've got that, we can work on automating the upload/release in CI 👍🏻

That's awesome, thank you @jnsgruk!

If there's anything I need to do, just let me know!

[jnsgruk]

I'll create a post on the Discourse and tag you to +1 it as the owner of the snap

Okay, I just registered on https://forum.snapcraft.io, it looks like it needs some approval - I'll give a +1 once it's approved

Done! https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/request-classic-confinement-for-yazi/45335/2
