Issue body
Snapcraft 8 deprecated calling `snapcraft` in favor of `snapcraft pack`. Snapcraft 9 will raise an error when calling just `snapcraft`.
Older versions of snapcraft don't support `snapcraft pack`, so we need to:
- run `snapcraft --version`
- call `snapcraft` for versions < 8 and `snapcraft pack` for everything else
