[Trac-dev] Simplifying Trac install process with Snaps

[Alan Pope]

Hi all,

I work at Canonical on Ubuntu and wanted to start a thread about making a
snap of Trac.

For those unaware, snaps are are self-contained apps, which can be used on
Linux systems. They use seccomp, apparmor and other Linux features to
provide great security for users.

They're super easy to install, and update, making it typically just one
command for users to try out Trac.

Once setup via a simple yaml file, snaps are easy to maintain, and easy to
install. They can be uploaded to the store from the command line, and
automatically updated by users.

Anyone interested in the challenge? :)

Cheers,
Al.

I'd be willing to give it a try if I can find time in the near future.
Would you be available to review the yaml file?
