port snap app upstream

[gocarlos]

Hi @arminstraub,

I think it would be a good idea to port the snap config files and snap creation to this repo...
e.g. a push to this repo would trigger a new candidate version of the snap app...

what do you think? I did not update the snap app for a while, most changes that I made were throughing qt4 away...

Steps to port snap krop to this repo:

• ask in https://forum.snapcraft.io to transfer snap app rights to you -> I can ask
• port the snapcraft yaml files to thsi repo -> me
• update text on software center
• push new version

Let me know what you think 🔥

Hi Carlos! Thank you for maintaining the snap app and thinking about merging things!

However, I would prefer not to add snap config files to the main repo. Partly, because I know nothing about snap but, more importantly, because there is a growing number of packaging options and I would like to keep the main repo as simple (and maintainable) as possible. For instance, the debian config files will be removed once krop is included in unstable.

Although snaps are designed for upstream and not just one of the distro-centric packaging options, it is possible to transfer the snap to the snapcrafters community to maintain it, here's the process: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/the-automatic-build-pubish-process-of-snaps-owned-by-snapcrafters/7954/2
