Thank you for that COPR repository.
I think using SNAPs on Fedora is wrong. I don't like what snaps do with
mounted filesystems and consider flatpak more appropriate replacement.
But flatpak wants to isolate application from the system. Those apps
require to integrate into the system on the other hand.
I assume from provided explanation that printer apps needs direct access
to USB ports and therefore are not good candidate for placing into some
kind of container. It needs a direct access to the host hardware,
therefore it belongs to the system. Or is it possible to forward just
limited sets of of USB devices into a container?
Could perhaps alternative package with unreleased snapshots be provided?
That would allow packaging required printer apps, which cannot use
stable versions. Should be module considered for applications and new
version of cups filters?
Have you considered putting CUPS into a module and provide a stable &
unreleased stream?
Cheers,
