  snapcraft, version 2.41+18.4.2
  
  I am trying to build my first snap from a Github project,

- Issue 3. The github project I am building also has upstream meson build
- features, so I pulled those in and tried using snapcraft’s meson plugin
- for a yaml here:

- If I can solve any of these three issues, I think this snap would work
- and be quite popular.
