I made a c++ web server that has dependencies. I usually get them from aptitude. The only way that I see to download and put them in a snap is to build a part and list them under "stage-packages".
My issue is the part requires a plugin and source, of which I don't think I need. Is there a way to pull the different dependencies on their own?
So you're not using Snapcraft to build your web server (remember it can run make, cmake, autotools, etc.)? Use the nil plugin, then-- it does nothing, but allows you to pull in stage-packages. For example:
name: foo
version: 1.0
vendor: me <[email protected]>
summary: My app summary
description: My app description
icon: icon.png
parts:
bar:
plugin: nil
stage-packages:
- my-system-dependency
