Hi everyone,

In preparation for the next release of charm-tools and charmstore-client
we've snap'd up the two making it easier to subscribe to the latest
nightly, beta, candidate, and stable releases of the tools.

The snap isn't 100% ready yet, but it's confined and operational. I'd like
to tap on all interested who are running xenial, arch, debian, gentoo,
fedora, opensuse, or any other supported distro to install the charm snap
package and help us find bugs!

Those interested in testing will need to make sure they have the latest
version of snapd installed and run the following command:

`snap install charm --edge`

Once installed, you should be able to run the command with

$ charm

However, if you have the existing charm/charm-tools packages installed from
either the archive or ppa you can access the newly installed charm snap via

/snap/bin/charm

To verify which command is `charm` you can run `which charm` to show the
path. Since this is edge you'll be getting version 2.1.2 of
charmstore-client and the latest tip of charm-tools. As such, some of the
command outputs may be different and there may be some bugs.

Since it's edge of both packaging and of the tooling please report bugs
first against the packaging:
https://github.com/juju-solutions/charm-pkg/issues this repository also
holds the snapcraft.yaml file for those curious on what it takes to snap
the two projects together. Below is a list of known bugs with the packaging
so far:

- Spurious errors during `charm create` about git-core/templates - these
can be ignored
- `charm create -t powershell` fails because git-submodules does not work
in strict confinement

Thanks everyone! Looking forward to the bugs and feedback.

Marco
