MAAS... as a snap! - Request for testing

[Andres Rodriguez]

Dear All,

The MAAS team is happy to announce the availability of the MAAS snap,
making it easier and more efficient to deliver and configure MAAS, without
changing your underlying OS.

*Availability*
The MAAS snap is currently available in *'devmode' *as it cannot yet be
fully confined. MAAS is currently available in the following channels:

   - MAAS 2.2 - available in the *stable* channel.
   - MAAS trunk - available in the *edge *channel.

More information on confinement and channels can be found in [1] and [2]
respectively.

*What about Debian packages?*
With the availability of the snaps, MAAS Debian packages will (eventually)
be deprecated. This means that by Ubuntu 18.04, Debian packages will no
longer be the delivery mechanism for MAAS.

*Read more about the Snap*
In case you have missed it, Blake's blog explains more about the snap
experience in [3].

Note: MAAS docs (maas.io/docs), will be available soon!

*Providing feedback & reporting bugs*
Since this is the first snap release, we would like your feedback! Please
file bugs in [4] and prepend the bug report with *"[snap]".*
