The package.json is

  "build": {
    "publish": [
      {
        "provider": "github"
      }
    ],
    "files": [
      "server/**/*",
      "web/**/*",
      "app.js"
    ]
  }

I don't have Ubuntu One credentials, nor do I want to create one.

+1: publishing to Snapcraft breaks CI when token expires.

Is there a way to build .snap without pushing it to third party servers?
We'd rather publish manually after each release, than break CI.

Update: we disabled snap publishing in https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/pull/1547/files by removing credentials from CI and switching to github in the snap-specific provider block and it seems to solve the problem

this shit is hella broken

You can also set snap.publish to:

{
  provider: "generic",
  url: "https://anydummyurl.com"
}

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs.

This is very relevant, especially if you don't own an Ubuntu.

@adam-lynch might be a temporary solution.

The supposed "solution" is a hacky workaround. Why is there no clear way to disable Snapcraft? This issue should still be open.
