Unofficial Snap Packaging for SimpleScreenRecorder

This is the unofficial snap packaging for SimpleScreenRecorder, Snaps are universal Linux packages.

Refer snap/README.md for user-oriented information.

Remaining Tasks

Snapcrafters (join us) are working to land snap install documentation and the snapcraft.yaml upstream so SimpleScreenRecorder can authoritatively publish future releases.

• Import the Snapcrafters Template Plus repository to your own GitHub account and name it as snap_name-snap (or any valid name you prefer) using GitHub's Import repository feature
  • It is recommended to avoid forking the template repository unless you're working on the template itself because you can only fork a repository once
• Update the description of the repository
• Update logos and references to SimpleScreenRecorder, simplescreenrecorder and other placeholder names in README.md, snap/README.md, and snap/snapcraft.yaml
• Add upstream contact information to this README.md
• Create a snap that runs in devmode, or in classic confinement if that's not possible
  • If the snap must be packaged under classic confinement, file a classic confinement request topic in the Snapcraft Forum, under the store topic category - template - link
• Add a screenshot to snap/README.md
• (Registered by third-party, use personal postfixed name for now)Register the snap in the Snap Store, using the preferred upstream name(i.e. without custom postfix). If the preferred upstream name is not available or reserved, file a request to take over the preferred upstream name and temporary use a name with personal postfix instead.
• Setup build.snapcraft.io and publish the devmode snap in the Snap Store edge channel
• Add the provided Snapcraft build badge to snap/README.md
• Update snap's metadata, icons and screenshots on the dashboard
• Add install instructions to snap/README.md
• File an Intent-To-Package issue/bug to the upstream's contact or issue/bug tracker to consolidate and let the upstream acknowledge the effort - template - link
• Convert the snap to strict confinement, or classic confinement if it qualifies
• Publish the confined snap in the Snap Store beta channel
• Update the install instructions in snap/README.md
• Post a call for testing on the Snapcraft Forum - template - Snapcraft Forum - Reddit r/ubuntu
• Publish the snap in the Snap Store stable channel
• Update the install instructions in snap/README.md
• Post an announcement in the Snapcraft Forum - template - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds the snapcraft.yaml and any required assets/launchers - example - link
• Submit a pull request or patch upstream that adds snap install documentation - example - link

If the upstream accepts the PRs AND willing to maintain the package on the Snap Store:

• Request upstream create a Snap Store developer account
• Create a topic under the store category in the Snapcrafters Forum to request the snap be transferred to upstream - template - link

If the upstream rejects the offer:

• Ask a Snapcrafters admin to fork your/upstream's repo into github.com/snapcrafters, transfer the snap name from you to snapcrafters, and configure the repo for automatic publishing into edge on commit - template - link

Finally:

• Ask the Snap Advocacy team to celebrate the snap - explanation - link

If you have any questions, post in the Snapcraft forum.
