Well it's not really an issue. I'm learning, trying to understand an to do
the thing, so, that's why I have questions. I'm a very beginner, and trying
to move step by step, and writing all the reflexion for a future blogpost,
as "Snappy for Dummies" kind of thing.

So for now my snapcraft.yaml looks like :

<code>
name: etherpad-lite-unofficial # the name of the snap
version: 0.1 # the version of the snap
# The vendor for the snap (replace 'Vendor <email at example.com>')
vendor: Winael <vinzjobard at ubuntu.com>

summary: Etherpad-lite, eally-real time collaborative editor # 79 char long
summary
description: Etherpad is a really-real time collaborative editor maintained
by the Etherpad Community # A longer description for the snap
icon: icon.png # A path to an icon for the package

parts:
  etherpad-lite:
    plugin: nodejs
    source: git://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite
    source-subdir: src
    stage-packages:
      - gzip
      - git
      - curl
      - python
      - libssl-dev
      - pkg-config
      - build-essential
</code>

In the draft on my blogpost, that I share on my github :
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,
I explain that the script InstallDeps.sh (
https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/blob/develop/bin/installDeps.sh)
check if dependancies are satisfied, with this kind of code

<code>
...
#Is curl installed?
hash curl > /dev/null 2>&1 || {
  echo "Please install curl" >&2
  exit 1
}
...
</code>

So I'm wondering, in the case of snappy how the check is done, if it
necessary to have this check or if I have to rewrite a script to replace
this one (I understantood that "glue" allow to overload some file, correct
me if I'm wrong)

I didn't really understood how filesets work. If I understand well, I'll
have to create a filesets for the file I need to snap ?

So that's it, just question from a "student" who just want to learn :) More
I more I will understand, and more I more I'll be able to do things by my
own, and other goal than my blogposts, I'll be able to lead workshops
around Snappy

Thx a lot

Cheers
Winael
