feature request: allow pdb tracing of snapcraft plugin code
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request (6+ years old, no labels, no comments) to add built-in pdb tracing of snapcraft plugin code for step-by-step build debugging; motivated by legacy bug 1882124 from the Python 3.6 plugin era.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue has had zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer engagement for 2278 days (~6.2 years), and its motivating context is obsolete: the referenced bug 1882124 is from the legacy Python 3.6 plugin era and is itself inactive ~6 years, while the current snapcraft is a full parts-based rewrite (snapcraft/parts, snapcraft/extensions) in which the described unsquashfs/snap-try workflow no longer applies. The affected version is no longer supported, so the original problem is no longer applicable.
