support remote-build

[merlijn-sebrechts]

For a multi-arch snap, we've switched to building it on launchpad using snapcraft remote-build. It would be nice if we could keep using this action, though.

Hi, I would be very interested in this feature. Is there an ETA for it? Thanks!

[merlijn-sebrechts]

FYI @KirioXX we have created our own actions to do this:

• You can find them here: https://github.com/snapcrafters/ci
• You can find a guide for how to use them (for our own snaps) here: https://github.com/snapcrafters/.github/wiki/Adding-our-automation-to-a-snap

Note that these actions are currently for internal (Snapcrafters org) use. We can't promise not to break backwards compatibility.

Thanks for letting me know @merlijn-sebrechts! I had a look at the release-to-candidate action and I have 2 questions:

1. When I don't give it a architecture is it taking the architecture that is specified in the snapcraft.yaml?
2. If I want to promote the snap right up to stable can I just set the channel to stable or do I have to promote it?

Thank you!

1. Yes

2. Yes
