Hello good people,

I found today that we have two conflicting requirements that lead us
to a circular problem.

First, we have the requirement of building the stable ubuntu-core snap
from the archive, not using a PPA.

Then, we have the requirement of building an edge ubuntu-core snap
from the branch so we can test and stabilize the snap.

What I would like is that the same snap we put into edge is eventually
promoted to stable. If we find through the different stages of testing
that the branch used to generate the edge snap is not good to be in
stable, we will make fixes to the branch, put a new snap in edge and
test again. Eventually we will have a snap that survives all the
stages from edge to stable.

- From the first requirement, this would mean that we have to generate
that edge snap from the ubuntu-snappy package in the archive. But at
this moment, what we have in the snappy branch is not stable enough to
be pushed to the archive. So, we are in a deadlock.

Of course, we can break the loop by changing the process. Here's my
ideal scenario:

We will have a PPA where we put only the ubuntu-snappy deb generated
from the branch. We generate a snap using that PPA and put it in the
edge channel. We test and test and test, and once we are confident
that it is good, we will promote the snap to the stable channel and
push the deb from the PPA to the archive.

This breaks the first requirement, so I suppose some people will not
like it. Please, give your suggestions.
