Charm series in API URL

[Timothy Youell]

That makes a lot more sense, thank you Martin. 

If the push to the snap naming system can provide a more useful framework for publication, versioning etc then it’s definitely worth going for Mark - it would also allow people like me, who are fairly new to the Juju world, to gain a better understanding of the interaction between snap and charm.

Using your example above cs:~bigdata-charmers/trusty/hadoop-plugin-5 (https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/trusty/5 <https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/trusty/5>) is a different charm from cs:~bigdata-charmers/xenial/hadoop-plugin-5 (https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/xenial/5 <https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/xenial/5>). Later charms are generally multi-series where the series is not included in the name. For example cs:~bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin-35 (https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/35 <https://jujucharms.com/u/bigdata-charmers/hadoop-plugin/35>). You'll notice that to get the statistics for the later version of the charm are not accessible at https://api.jujucharms.com/ <https://api.jujucharms.com/>charmstore/v5/stats/counter/archive-download:xenial:hadoop-plugin:bigdata-charmers:35?by=day&start=2016-04-01&end=2018-06-20&include=promulgated, but can be found at https://api.jujucharms.com/ <https://api.jujucharms.com/>charmstore/v5/stats/counter/archive-download::hadoop-plugin:bigdata-charmers:35?by=day&start=2016-04-01&end=2018-06-20&include=promulgated.
