How do I repackage a .deb for Ubuntu Snappy?
Solution 1:
Take a look at https://github.com/ubuntu/snappy-playpen/blob/fd5d4a3a1e3f0acc13370adbf98c9a3481d1328a/leafpad/snapcraft.yaml for a simple example.
The relevant part of snapcraft.yaml here is:
parts:
leafpad:
plugin: nil
stage-packages: [leafpad]
Here you define a part called leafpad, for which nothing needs to be done (nil plugin), but the contents of the Ubuntu package leafpad to be staged. That's it.
https://developer.ubuntu.com/snappy/build-apps/ obviously has more information on that.
