# The Linux app as a Snap, built in LXD on a developer's machine, in the repository
# root:
#
#   snapcraft pack
#
# It builds what is committed (the source is this repository's HEAD), never the
# working tree with its build caches, and always for learn.halkyon.eu. Flutter is
# pinned like the local and CI one (FLUTTER_VERSION in .forgejo/workflows/ci.yaml):
# snapcraft's own Flutter plugin can only take a channel and can't pass
# --dart-define, so the build is spelled out below.

summary: Learn with flashcards, studied offline and synced between your devices
description: |
  Halkyon Learn is a spaced-repetition learning app: studysets of flashcards with
  rich text, notes, learning paths and PDFs, reviewed on an FSRS schedule. It works
  offline and syncs between your devices.

  It starts with an anonymous account; signing in with GitHub later keeps
  everything. It connects to learn.halkyon.eu, the project's instance.

# The project's, not an instance's: the app works with any instance.

  # Staged packages bring their whole dependency tree, also what the GNOME
  # runtime and the base hold already: libmpv's ffmpeg brought Ubuntu's older
  # librsvg, cairo, pango, harfbuzz and gdk-pixbuf, which came first on the
  # library path and hid the runtime's newer ones from its GTK (its SVG
  # loader failed for a function only the runtime's librsvg has). So every
  # file the runtime or the base has at the same path goes, as the GNOME
  # extension's reference shows, but only under usr/ and never a directory:
  # its example removes every path the base has, and core24's bin and lib are
  # links, so it would take the app's bin/ with them. blas/ and lapack/ stay:
  # the runtime has them too, but the links into them are the app's own.
