So I went ahead and did slightly more than the minimal charm: cs:~jameinel/xenial/ubuntu-lite
It is essentially just installing Ubuntu, and in the Start hook, I do "status-set active" and report the Ubuntu version in "application-version-set". However, some feedback about the experience: 1. "charm push cs:~jameinel/ubuntu-lite" fails ultimately with a TLS timeout error: ERROR cannot post archive: Post https://api.jujucharms.com/charmstore/v5/~jameinel/ubuntu-lite/archive?...: net/http: TLS handshake timeout I thought the point of multi-series charms is that you didn't have to publish to an explicit series. 2. The result of a successful push tells you "unpublished". But the command to actually publish one is "charm release". Should we be using the verbiage of "unreleased"? Certainly there was no indication of what I should be doing to get the charm to a 'published' state from the CLI. 3. ubuntu-lite does get from "pending" to "active" a fair bit faster than the full 'ubuntu' charm (about 1-2 minutes on my LXD provider.)
