Thanks @lengau, some other details here.

It would be super nice if this could work in snapcraft too.

And even MORE exciting would be if i could use create tracks on a WHOLE BLOCK of things at once:

snapcraft create-track snap-a,snap-b,snap-c, ...snap-z --track 2.0
charmcraft create-track charm-a,charm-b,charm-c, ...charm-z --track 2.0

the current process is defined here
https://discourse.charmhub.io/t/how-to-create-a-track-for-your-charm/11102

I'll say the holy grail for this issue would be for the tools to just CREATE ON RELEASE if the track doesn't exist

snapcraft release my-snap 123 2.0/beta,latest/beta
charmcraft release my-charm --revision=123 --channel 2.0/beta --channel latest/beta

Hi, I'm still wishing this was a thing. Maybe 2025? Maybe a 2024 Christmas present?

@addyess it's a Christmas miracle! This is on my pulse for this pulse and I'm actively working on it right now!
