sudo snapcraft cleanbuild
Metadata
Current evaluation
Launchpad report of a FileNotFoundError tar crash in `sudo snapcraft cleanbuild` on Snapcraft 2.43.1. Closed by maintainer ~sergiusens (2023-08-17) noting cleanbuild is no longer supported since all builds clean-build by default.
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: No code fix was made; sergiusens closed it stating cleanbuild is no longer supported as all builds transparently clean-build by default. The cleanbuild command no longer exists in the snapcraft source tree (grep for 'cleanbuild' returns no matches), confirming the deprecated feature was decommissioned.
