Cool. You mention in its design specification that it will be cross platform. Is that the case as this stage? I'm not sure if I follow Jenkins logs properly but there seems only a Linux job running.
it is already cross-platform as it is written in Pharo itself. For now, it has been successfully used in both Linux and MacOSX.
btw, Are there any plans for PharoLauncher to help report VM bugs? Eliot once mentioned on [vm-dev] that the best VM bug reports provide a launch script that reproduces the VM crash. The PharoLauncher could monitor VMs that don't close cleanly, and then lead the user through generating such a script. Then at the click of a button, the script, VM and image can be packaged up for submitting to a bug tracker. Much further down the line, PharoLauncher might even enable a VM flag to log all UI events from which a crash-script could be generated.
I'm not sure such a thing can be done automatically from another image. If you think you can do it, feel free to try: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/PharoLauncher -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."
