Parameterized builds are required for snapcraft build
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request from 2018 to add parameterized builds to snapcraft so a git-source part can be built from different branches via a build parameter. No labels, no comments, no maintainer response in ~6 years; largely addressable today via environment variable substitution in snapcraft.yaml.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 2248 days old with 0 comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction, so it is clearly inactive. The underlying need (building a git part from a different branch) is addressable without a new feature: snapcraft.yaml supports environment variable substitution, so the branch can be set from an environment variable at build time, and the linked snapcraft forum thread points in that direction. Closing as stale is appropriate; if the reporter still needs more, they can reopen with a current snapcraft version.
