Hello, a snap packager here and would like to have some suggestions on how to improve the situation.

Currently(2024/8/21), the snap is still searchable in the store:

$ snap find lsd
Name                   Version        Publisher   Notes  Summary
lsd                    0.16.0         peltoche    -      A ls command with a lot of pretty colors.

and the snap listing page shows no signs of deprecation, aside from the old release date:

$ snap info lsd
name:      lsd
summary:   A ls command with a lot of pretty colors.
publisher: Pierre Peltier (peltoche)
store-url: https://snapcraft.io/lsd
contact:   peltoche@halium.fr
license:   unset
description: |
  lsd is a ls command including pretty icons based on nerd-font.

  - lsd
snap-id:      wg6vD3jHxl87UtHKsX9obkJMYCed1JX3

  latest/stable:    0.16.0 2019-08-02 (62) 929kB -
  latest/candidate: ↑                            
  latest/beta:      ↑                            
  latest/edge:      ↑                            

I would like to suggest that anyone who has store backstage access do the following actions to allow the users to recognize the deprecation status of the snap more easily:

  • In the store backstage > Settings tab https://snapcraft.io/lsd/settings > Visibility panel, select Unlisted so that the snap won't be enumerated from the search results:
    Screenshot
  • In the store backstage > Listing tab https://snapcraft.io/lsd/listing > Listing details > Description field, add a note that the snap has been discontinued, with a link to this issue.
