GNOME build-snap

  • A few more snaps building with the build-snap (albeit still somewhat uncleanly):
    • eog, gedit, and gnome-system-monitor.
  • Early profiling of build-snap snaps vs traditionally built snaps:
    • Mixed results, but can be up to 50% faster! (e.g. epiphany: 4s -> 2s).
    • Will do further testing once more snaps are building cleanly.
