Any particular reason you built curl from source rather than pull the deb from the archive with "stage-packages: curl" ? [–] simosx 9y ago ↗ I was considering about stripping down the curl binary to make it smaller in size and remove functionality that is not required for httpstat.So, by compiling it, there would be more options for someone to do something more with the provided snapcraft.yaml.In retrospect, it would be better to have "stage-packages: curl" as it would simplify the tutorial.
