Parameterized builds are required for snapcraft build
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request for user-defined build parameters that can select a part's Git branch; it remains open, unlabelled, and untriaged with no maintainer response.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The reporter gives a concrete use case—building the same snap against different Git branches—but does not propose command syntax, configuration semantics, or a concrete recipe, and the issue has no labels or maintainer comments. The current lifecycle parser exposes predefined options such as --build-for, while the current build-plan implementation is architecture-oriented, so supporting general parameters would require maintainers to define scope, propagation through build environments, and compatibility behavior.

close stale | 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. | |
