Charm Tools distribution channels and versions

[Sandor Zeestraten]

Hey folks,

I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out which distribution of
charm-tools I can/should use and how they are versioned in order to keep
track of bugfixes.

As far as I understand, the snaps are preferred over the packages in the
Juju PPA and PyPI falls somewhere in between?

The snap channels all refer to 2.2 which makes it a bit difficult to tell
which are which (see below), yet they all display charm 2.2.2 and
charm-tools 2.1.2 when running "charm version". I'm sure I'm missing
something obvious but how do I keep track of what is in each snap build?

Finally, we're using bundletester for running tests which pulls inn
charm-tools from PyPI which seems to have 2.2.0 as the latest version. Does
PyPI still get new charm-tools releases? If not, what's the recommended
workflow for those running bundletester?

P.S. The page on PyPI still refers to installing charm-tools from the Juju
PPA which probably should be fixed.
