4.0 TOW core20 support

The team behind Snapcraft is pleased to announce the release of
Snapcraft 4.0. Among the many updates, fixes and additions it
includes, the following are what we consider its highlights:

the core20 base is now supported
--use-lxd can now be used with all snap supported architectures
improved plugins for core20
support for adding external repositories

To try this release, switch to the candidate channel for
Snapcraft.

Commands

As when using extensions, command entries when using core20 will now strictly follow the snapd rules for allowed commands. Wrappers are still generated when necessary when using core or core18 as base.

Plugins V2

New plugin infrastructure has been developed to support core20.

This new infrastructure greatly simplifies plugins and delivers another
great advantage: "quick rebuilds".

Thanks to core20 plugins being much simpler, so to is the environment
setup process, removing most of the perceived magic during Snapcraft
builds for parts.

Plugins are now applicable only to Snapcraft's build step. The pull
step, for instance, has become completely owned by Snapcraft and
dedicated to managing the source related entries for parts.

The following plugins have been updated to work with core20:

autotools
cmake
dump
go
make
meson
nil
npm
python
rust

While the list of plugins is not as broad as for core or core18,
they offer a strong foundation for the majority of snaps, and the list
will grow after this initial release.

The command line related to plugins has gained some additional
parameters to specifically reach base relevant information:

snapcraft help <plugin-name> [--base <base>]
snapcraft list-plugins [--base <base>]

These commands will default to using the base defined in the current
Snapcraft project or to the latest supported base (i.e., core20).

Also, plugins now have their properties scoped (i.e.; prefixed with the
plugin-name).

autotools

The autotools plugin for core20 works mostly in the same way, with
the following exceptions:

the plugin checks for the existence of configure in the source. If
not found, autoconf --install is executed instead
configflags has been renamed to autotools-configure-parameters
install-via has been removed

cmake

This plugin works mostly the same, except for the fact that
configflags has been renamed to cmake-parameters.

dump

This behaves in the same way for core20 as for core18 or core.

go

The plugin has been revamped for core20. It now only supports projects
using go.mod, which means it only supports version of go that
support this.

The following are the only configuration parameters available to the plugin
when using core20:

go-channel
go-buildtags

These options are no longer available when using core20:

go-importpath
go-packages

make

The following parameters will be accepted by the plugin when setting
core20 as the base:

make-parameters

The following are no longer accepted but should instead be easily managed
with override-build:

makefile
artifacts
make-install-var

meson

This plugin works the same in core20 although it has been enhanced
for easier rebuilds.

nil

This plugin behaves in the same way for core20 as for core18 or core.

npm

This is a new plugin for core20. It is intended to replace
the nodejs plugin, which is only available for core and core18.

The only parameter the plugin now accepts is npm-node-version.

python

The python plugin has been simplified the most for core20 and yet
provides the most new functionality. It essentially behaves like a
virtual environment, preferring the python interpreter shipped in
the core20 base.

By behaving this way, the plugin operates more like how a Python
developer would expect, allowing for easier snap customization
whilst still using the plugin.

The plugin can use an interpreter if it is added through a
comprehensive list of stage-packages (an extension shall be
evaluated in the future to provide alternative complete python
stacks).

When used with core20, the plugin accepts the following parameters,
with the same semantics as the V1 plugin used in core and core18:

python-packages
requirements
python-packages

rust

This is another plugin that has been simplified to reduce the number
of parameters when targeting core20 as a base:

rust-features same behaviour as for core and core18
rust-path, defaulting to the current working directory, but can be
set to the relative path of the crate to build when using workspaces

Package Management

This feature adds high-level package-management to snapcraft.yaml, enabling
users to configure additional repositories & components.

Specifically, the scope of package-management is for anything affecting the
behavior and availability of:

build-packages
stage-packages
build-snaps
stage-snaps
python-packages

The scope of this spec will focus on the configuration of apt repositories,
affecting the availability of build-packages and stage-packages.

To use, simply configure package-repositories in snapcraft.yaml.

Note: snapcraft will log an 'experimental feature' warning until the
schema is considered stable.

Here are some example configurations:

name: apt-example
base: core18

<snip>

package-repositories:
  - type: apt
    ppa: snappy-dev/snapcraft-daily

  - type: apt
    deb-types: [deb, deb-src]
    components: [main]
    suites: [xenial]
    key-id: 78E1918602959B9C59103100F1831DDAFC42E99D
    url: http://ppa.launchpad.net/snappy-dev/snapcraft-daily/ubuntu

  - type: apt
    deb-types: [deb, deb-src]
    components: [main, multiverse, restricted, universe]
    suites: [xenial, xenial-updates]
    key-id: test-key
    url: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

Build Environments

The --use-lxd flag has been released from its experimental phase and
now supports the same build roots as build.snapcraft.io (or Launchpad),
bringing the two environments closer together. With these new images,
there is now support for all the snap enabled architectures too.

Progressive Releases

Initial experimental support for progressive releases has landed in
Snapcraft. To view any existing progressive release use the status
command, as an example:

Track     Arch      Channel    Version    Revision    Progress
latest    all       stable     -          -           -
                    candidate  -          -           -
                    beta       0.6        8           → 20%
                               10         13          → 80%
    		    edge       ↑          ↑           -

To perform a progressive release, use the release command with the
with the --progressive option. After releasing, the status of the
release will be shown.
