Thank you for this nice tip. I was just curious about why this repo was omitted from the built-in repos in a released image? Is VMMaker not a supported package for Pharo?

Pharo is not delivered with VMMaker built-in / pre-loaded. So neither is its repo built-in.

VMMaker is not relevant to most users, and it has no priority over 100s of user packages.

All the repos you see��built-in��are actually components delivered built-into Pharo.

btw, AFAIK the VM Simulator doesn't work on Pharo - though I'm not sure anyone has had a serious look at it.

The main vm-devs and the OpenSmalltalk CI builds work on top of Squeak.
