We have had issues with automatic releases resulting in broken packages because of the problems the project's architecture and layout has, e.g., to PyPI, multiple times it happened that a broken release went out, hence automatic publishing was disabled for now, see #3976, #4022.

Also, is there anything significant that the snap distribution provides that can't be done by using the PyPI release (which, I know, is also outdated for now, see #4261)? I would prefer if there weren't 80 separate release pipelines with 80 separate chances of getting broken or incompatible...

With rolling out things like managed python, see externally-managed-environment, it's not as convenient as just snap install codechecker --classic to get the ball rolling quickly.

For automatic releases, I might take a look at code to see what's going on, maybe it's trivial, just overlooked thing :)

Yes, we are planning to harden the releases in a way that even if it is not automatic per sē, it should generate something automatically that can undergo manual testing and then we can flick a switch to re-run the job to deploy automatically.

However, I can also see that the Snap package is attributed to (and potentially owned by) @csordasmarton. So this will require some more in-depth investigation...

For such things, it's best to create topic on forum.snapcraft.io .
@csordasmarton can add you as co-developer and potentially transfer package to you via forum post.

@bruntib and @vodorok were added as collaborators to the codechecker package so they should be able to manage it as well.
