Debs in Snaps

The goal of this report is to highlight how many debs go into making a typical snap

godot-4

The game engine you've been waiting for.

The snap in /snap/godot-4/current may have used these debs during build:

summary: Count snaps per architecture
description: |
  Count snaps by doing a word count of the locally cached list
  of snaps in the store. Run this build on each architecture
  and it will give you each snap with the version set to the
  number of public snaps on that architecture. Roughly.
  You will also get a log file which lists them all.

# Build snapd with longer time between forced refresh, effectively
# allowing systems to prevent any refreshes at all, "easily".

# While it's possible to defer updates to a later date, like this:
# $ sudo snap set system refresh.hold="$(/usr/bin/date --iso-8601=seconds -d '+30 days')"
# After 60 days, snapd will eventually force refresh, even if you run 
# the above command every day to push the refresh time back continuously.

# All this script does is build snapd with a way longer interval between
