Erlang Snap Published to Snapcraft Store

I’ve published Erlang/OTP 22 snap to snapcraft store: https://snapcraft.io/erlang

As part of the Foundation’s Build and Packaging Working Group the source repo can be found here https://github.com/erlef/erlang_snap

The snaps will use snap tracks for Erlang major releases. This means a track for 23 will be released when 23 comes out and you can use the 22 track to stick to OTP-22.

Snap’s automatically update, so being on the 22 track means you’ll automatically get updates for minor and patch releases. But you will not be automatically moved to 23 when it is released.

I think that is a reasonable pattern for OTP. If we do an Elixir snap it will have tracks per minor release, like a track for 1.10 and 1.9, automatically updated patch releases only.

Archs supported are amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, s390x, ppc64el

Maybe useful to embedded devs for an easy arm install for development
