Current evaluation

snapcraft export-login output (macaroon credentials) too large for Travis CI SNAP_TOKEN env variable. 6.7 years old, zero comments, no labels, no maintainer interaction. Travis CI for open source is defunct and snapcraft store integration has been rewritten since.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: Filed ~2434 days ago with zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement. The issue targets Travis CI (suspended for open-source in 2021) and the snapcraft 2.x-era export-login/import-login workflow. Snapcraft has since undergone a major rewrite (3.x) with store integration moved to craft-store, making the specific command and CI platform referenced no longer applicable. The affected version and workflow are no longer supported.
