Public bug reported:
Snapcraft cleans up all downloaded dependencies or stage-packages
including the old downloaded cache , which makes it download every time
i want make changes to my snapcraft.yaml .
Follow the system apt style of downloading and updating the apt cache !
dont delete the older one. just merge them !!
this is very irritating !!! everyone will hate this.
Like i give up making snaps of my applications just because snapcraft
took 5Gb of my bandwidth just in creating snap for some of my
applications .
First of all i don't know why the hell you downloading libs from apt ??
when a developer will build his app he will first able to run it on his
system which means, he is having all the dependencies to run the app !!
Snapcraft is all about this as the wiki says. So just copy libs from
system to prime area and stage area from developer system. Then pack the
app with those libs (it is good from point of view of developer) what
will happen if the developer app code is relying on libxxx2.0 and not
with the latest libxxx3.0 :D that time your snapcraft tool will not able
to satisfy developer need .
DON'T MAKE SNAPCRAFT KEEPING FEW PEOPLE IN MIND > YOU GUYS ARE UNIDIRECTIONAL
THOSE FEW PEOPLE NOT GONNA FILL UP YOUR SOFTWARE CENTER WITH APPLICATIONS .
