Hi Every one,

Let's me introduce my self, I a totaly noob in all this snappy apps
development. For now, I was more an advocate, I do several talk about
snappy and how it will imapct the world, but I never, never tried to do my
own things on it.

Few months ago, I thank that it could be nice to have a box with serevarl
services we found in the framacould project (
https://degooglisons-internet.org/liste), but for now, I'm still waiting
that someone does it.

So I decided to try to do it by myself. If I could do it, lots of people
can do it too

And I decide to share my experience on my blog. For now the post is still
in draft (
https://github.com/Winael/Notes/blob/master/md/Ubuntu/Snappy/how-to-build-a-snapp-from-a-github-project-by-a-noob-for-the-noobs.md
)

So now those are my questions

1) In the installDeps.sh script (
https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/develop/bin/installDeps.sh),
there several hash command to test if some dependancies are installed. I
add them in the stage-packages sections of etherpad-lite parts, but does it
mean that I need to add the binaries in my snapp ? And how could I do it,
because I notice there are in the parts/etherpad-lite/ubuntu/downloaded
forlder as deb ?

2) I have several bin folder (stage/bin, parts/etherpad-lite/src/bin, ...).
Do I need to create a filesets to group all my binairies folder ?

3) Do I need to rewrite the run.sh script to adapt it to my snapp ?

I know that could be very basics questions, but I'm a very beginner, and
I'm very lost

Thx for your help. And i hope that my shared experience could help other
beginners to join us

Cheers
Winael
