Bug Description
I received this in an email from an upstream who got confused about the options available for publication:
------------
* On the http://
my very first snap manually, when I eventually pressed the "Publish"
button, I somehow got the following error message:
Revision 1 (strict) cannot target a stable channel (stable, grade: devel)
which was rather confusing because I did *not* target the stable channel.
Later, I realized that targeting the "candidate" channel would
trigger the same error.
Perhaps the "candidate" channel was added rather recently, and the
error message
has not been updated to reflect that? I would rather it say
something like this:
Revision 1 (strict) cannot target a stable or candidate
channel (stable, grade: devel)
so newbies like me won't get confused.
