docs: Fix snapcraft build instructions and explicitly install lxd #14941
Conversation
…requisite The current documentation for building snapd with snapcraft doesn't work in 24.04. It also doesn't mention the LXD requirement, which leads to uncertainty about the build process when lxd asks many config questions and isn't mentioned in the build instructions. This documentation change: - Adds --classic flag to snap install for snapcraft, as it is required - Removes --channel option from snapcraft call as it no longer exists in 8.5.1 - Adds necessary and missing sudo to snap install - Makes the lxd install and lxd init step explicit

I was running through a build using current documentation in HACKING.md for building snapd with snapcraft and it doesn't work in 24.04 (or 22.04). It also doesn't mention the lxd requirement, which leads to uncertainty about the build process when lxd asks many config questions and isn't mentioned in the build instructions.
