Big snaps on ubuntu store.

[Bret A. Barker]

José,

Can you file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapstore ? We have tested with snaps of around 1.5GB and generally this should work - we'll dig into it.

Meanwhile, that's going to be quite a snap for users to install, even with delta downloads they'll get hit hard the first time. Is there any amount of slimming to be done there? 

Thanks,
-bret
