Wouldn't make more sense to pick one or two VMs per platform and stick with them ?
yes this is what we will do and they will be called pharo-vm probably and with traceability and tests to validate them. Do you imagine the hell it is for tracking bugs. :)
Frankly, who knows which VM to download for which image in production ?
I don't know if i'm doing well but from time to time I pick the latest VM I find here: http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/ and hope it will work on my dev machine.
On production (http://wapict.be server) I stick with one Cog VM that seems to work well but I don't really know if it's supported or not....
We are working hard to change that :) Because we are working on setting up a company around moose so we feel concerned.
Is it really realistic to support 20 differents VMs? Who is going to test?
Jenkins.
Today i finished setting up a first job which runs Pharo-1.4 tests for freshly built VM. So, very soon we can clearly tell, which VMs run what and how well they doing it :)
