Metadata
Current evaluation
Charmcraft’s snap build was migrated to the uv plugin in merged PR #2412 via commit 5d8ea0e4, resolving #2039.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR #2412 was merged as commit 5d8ea0e4 and migrated the snap to core24, with snap/snapcraft.yaml using `plugin: uv`. A maintainer explicitly marked #2039 as addressed by that PR.
