Current evaluation

Multipass build provider does not support resource settings (CPU/memory env vars) for core22 snaps. Untriaged, no maintainer response, 1290 days old.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is 1290 days old with no maintainer response or comments. The underlying feature request is tracked upstream in craft-providers#531 ('Provide a way to set Multipass CPU and memory'), which is also open and stale. Closing this issue as stale avoids duplication and directs attention to the upstream tracking issue.

Issue body

Hi, As per the docs, you can set custom resource usage for the Multipass instance using environment variables: https://snapcraft.io/docs/build-providers $ export SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT_CPU=8 $ export SNAPCRAFT_BUILD_ENVIRONMENT_MEMORY=16G It's noted in the docs that this is not possible for core22 snaps, which means that it's a breaking change for core22. Ideally, this still would be supported in some way for core22 snaps. This was discussed a little here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/build-providers/4157/34?u=jocado Cheers, Just
