I think hack is an unnecessarily strong term. In the Cassandra snap, the config is copied into $SNAP_DATA at runtime (if not already present) [1]. Helper programs are provided for getting, setting, and environment variable lookup (for templating) [2].
Having native support for config will bring consistency with other snapped applications, but otherwise this works quite well. 1: https://github.com/evandandrea/cassandra-snap/blob/master/wrapper-cassandra 2: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/snapcraft/2016-July/000362.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611287 Title: provide canonical way to install templates and configuration files into $SNAP_* dirs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1611287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
