A noob trying to make an etherpad-lite snap with lots of questions

[Alexander Sack]

Hi,

I already made snapcraft recipe for etherpad-lite, just get:
https://github.com/asac/etherpad-lite/tree/snap-support,
cd into the bin/snappy folder and run "snapcraft snap" there...

The direct link to the snapcraft.yaml is here:
https://github.com/asac/etherpad-lite/blob/snap-support/bin/snappy/snapcraft.yaml

Only reason I havent uploaded to store is that I havent finished the
config hook i wanted to do so its super convenient to configure
through yaml on snappy systems.

Hope that helped!

Thanks!
