Is there a way to extract files from the SNAP archive?
It looks like SNAPs may use squashfs internally. Or at least, some
Gentoo overlay ebuilds use that method to unpack the SNAP for
recent versions of Skype. It's worth a try, anyway.
The URLs used to fetch the raw SNAP file are ugly:
# fetch snap dl url from:
# curl -H 'Snap-Device-Series: 16' http://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/info/skype
# "url":
"https://api.snapcraft.io/api/v1/snaps/download/QRDEfjn4WJYnm0FzDKwqqRZZI77awQEV_333.snap"
# },
# "revision": 333, => patch level (_p)
# "version": "8.114.0.214" => version
Hope that helps a bit.
