Snap packaging

[kmpm]

It would be really nice to have a snap package for this but this was the feedback from Snap Store

2021-10-26 A comment has been made on the registration request of "certbot-dns-loopia".

The reviewer provided the following comment:

Hi there,

The name was registered a few months ago by another user. Snap names are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. That said, the other user has not published any builds, so I have reached out to see if they agree to transfer the snap name to you. I'll keep you posted.

Yohooo....

Your "certbot-dns-loopia" registration has been approved.

The reviewer provided the following feedback:

I never heard back from them so I'm assuming lack of interest, I'm granting you the name as an entirely-new snap (revoke - reassign, rather than transfer).

Thanks for your patience!

Snap is cumming up. Will wait a couple of days to see if @MrRawbin gets some more changes in before publishing.

Good job! Makes me wonder what the person who previously registered the name had in mind. I think that the next changes I will perform will be adding mypy (which does not affect functionality) and then looking at removing the dependency to loopialib (which will take a little while and requires quite a bit of testing).

So from my point of view, after we merge the README improvements in https://github.com/runfalk/certbot-dns-loopia/pull/35 you can go ahead.

Hi, I have been using the snap package prepared by @kmpm at https://github.com/kmpm/certbot-dns-loopia-snap/releases/tag/1.0.0 and it has been working great for a long time. Now in february it stopped working with the following error in the logs:

I guess some other package has been updated that made the certbot-dns-loopia plugin fail. Is there any chance of getting v1.0.1 published as a snap (#13) now that the naming conflict was resolved? I'm regrettably not proficient enough in the snap or python worlds to be much help. Also I can't tell if the updates in v1.0.1 will fix the error but maybe the updates in #38 will do it?

For anyone else coming here I have released a snap package working with certbot 2.x.x here: https://github.com/matrei/certbot-dns-loopia/releases/tag/v2.4.0
