Please provide information how to include local modifications into subiquity-test.snap

[Josef Wolf]

README.md states that changes can be tested via

  snapcraft snap --output subiquity_test.snap

Unfortunately, this don't seem to be enough when changes are made to some sub-component (e.g. curtin). My local modifications don't show up in the generated subiquity_test.snap.

  snapcraft pull curtin

also won't help (this probably pulls the original git repo?)

BTW: snapcarft emits a warning: "The 'snap' command is deprecated, use 'pack' instead."

Hello Josef,

I opened https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/1846 to clarify how to proceed with changes in curtin. Please feel free to try out and revert to us if you run into more issues.

Thanks,
Olivier

Yes, this works! Thanks a lot!

But please add a note that the FULL SHA is needed. Using only a shortened SHA (as printed by git-commit) results in a crash.

Note added and change merged, thanks!
