Snaps as deps

[soumyaDghosh]

In many cases, we need latest version, which maybe is available via snap. Is that possible to make the snap a dep?

No, Pacstall uses apt as it's backend for packages, not snap. If you want the latest version, try making a pacscript for it.

That would kill our github action free time, hmmmm.

There are a lot of packages with rust as a build_dep, what should I do? Check my another discussion

[Elsie19]

Most people don't want to install rust from source as a dependency. That's what Gentoo is for ;)

[Elsie19]

Maybe a rust-bin package.

Well, even using rust, the building time is very high, and with less capable machines, that's too heavy also. I think the only thing that we can do is, we need to share these apps prebuilt. We may also share these as debs
