| #3284 build providers: rename clean() -> clean_parts() to clarify scope | snapcraft | merged | Merged into master as commit 81ade060c: build provider clean() renamed to clean_parts() (5 files, +9/-9) to distinguish parts cleanup from clean_project() and other build instance cleanup. | |
| #88 fix: clean build provider when no parts are given | craft-application | merged | Merged PR #88 (commit 2d2dd70e, merged into main as ed378fc) by maintainer tigarmo. Adds ProviderService.clean_instances(), converts AppCommand.run_managed to a method taking parsed args, and makes the clean command clean build instances when no parts are given. Fixes #56. | |
| #2507 build providers: improve handling in snap logic | snapcraft | merged | Merged snapcraft#2507 as commit 841b41fa3, improving build-provider snap logic, removing unnecessary sudo calls, and silencing refresh-hold noise. | |
| #4806 Build "part" action forces clean build | snapcraft | closed | Fixed by merged craft-parts PR #727, which limits step reruns and cleaning to explicit requests, restoring incremental `snapcraft build <part>` behavior. | |
| #2474 build providers: remove dead code | snapcraft | merged | Merged PR #2474 as commit 4308dd8d3, removing obsolete build-provider methods left over from legacy cleanbuild support. | |
| #1821586 Improved build provider sanity checks | snapcraft (launchpad) | closed | Resolved by merged snapcraft#2515 (commit e4a578823), moving build-provider setup and sanity checks into provider implementations. | |
| #3105 build provider: clean incompatible build-environments | snapcraft | merged | Merged #3105 as f1119fd03, rebuilding build instances when base metadata is missing or the instance came from an incompatible or legacy Snapcraft version; compatibility tests were updated. | |
| #56 "<appname> clean" doesn't remove the build instance | craft-application | closed | Fixed clean behavior: with no parts, craft-provider build instances are removed; part-specific cleans still run inside instances. Resolved by merged PR #88 (commit 2d2dd70e). | |
| #2515 build providers: support for provider setup | snapcraft | merged | Merged PR #2515 as e4a578823, moving build-provider checks and setup into provider implementations and resolving LP #1821586. |
