QGIS 3.0 is released. However, in the download page, there does not seem to be an entry (for Ubuntu (16.04) at least):

Latest Release 2.18.x Las Palmas (new LTR)

https://qgis.org/debian

...

Long Term Release Repository 2.14.x Essen (previous LTR)

...

Development Version 2.99.x master [4]

https://qgis.org/debian-nightly

...

Which repository should be used to get the new QGIS 3.0?

Just for the record, as of 02/24/2018, changing the repository from 

deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly xenial main

to 

deb https://qgis.org/ubuntugis  xenial main

, and apt-get remove/install qgis worked. This installs qgis 3.0 and replaces 2.99dev.

The debian source: deb https://qgis.org/debian xenial main , however, does not seem to be update-to-date at present, and installs qgis-2.18.

Even if the website text is not updated yet, https://qgis.org/debian already contains 3.0:

As of June 2018, QGIS 3.2 installs on Ubuntu 16.04 with the following repositories:

deb http://qgis.org/ubuntugis xenial main

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu xenial main

ubuntugis-unstable is critical, as http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ppa/ubuntu xenial main does currently not contain a recent enough libgdal20 (it contains 2.1.3, but >= 2.2.0 is needed).

Just to summarize: Now during the transition to QGIS 3.0, on Ubuntu 16.04 and similar systems there are three possibilities:

  1. Using the ubuntugis repository you get updated to 3.0 but with no GRASS support. The GRASS plugin loads OK, but no access to GRASS maps in QGIS.
  2. If you use the debian repo you stay at 2.18.16 (the current "LTR") but also without GRASS support.
  3. And with the ubuntugis-unstable (ppa) repository you get reverted back to 2.14.22, and only in this version GRASS support is available.

Of course apt-get purge is needed after changing repos to switch between the different versions. So scratch item #2 above...

Edit: In the last few days, the recommended ltr repo now offers QGIS 2.18.17 and support for GRASS maps has returned. So scratch item #2 above.
