Gadget snap extension
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add a gadget snap extension that reads values from a local gadget snap and applies them to imagecraft.yaml, reducing duplication. Depends on implementing extensions support, which is not yet in the codebase. Open, unlabelled, one maintainer comment.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a legitimate feature request filed by a maintainer (lengau) that addresses real duplication between gadget.yaml and imagecraft.yaml, with a customer comment reinforcing the need for feature-parity with ubuntu-image. The prerequisite (extensions support) is not yet implemented in the codebase, so the issue is blocked but still relevant. It has no labels or assignee, indicating it needs triage, but since a maintainer authored it and commented, it should remain open.

| #258 Support using gadget.yaml volumes as a source for imagecraft.yaml volume definitions | imagecraft | open | Enhancement to let imagecraft.yaml import volumes from the gadget snap's meta/gadget.yaml instead of duplicating the layout. Triaged and discussed; a maintainer noted snapd reads the gadget directly, so overrides risk a disconnect. No work planned this cycle. | |
