Hi,
�� the repos is https://github.com/pharo-project/opensmalltalk-vm in
the headless branch

btw, to go directly to that branch...

https://github.com/pharo-project/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/headless��

I'm really glad to see smalltalksrc on github for its accessibility.��

The concern then is synchronization with the original Monticello repo.

Could a branch "headless-tracking-vmmaker" be created as a pure-mirror updated by a daily CI job

so Github Compare View�� can be used to easily see differences (https://github.blog/2010-03-01-introducing-github-compare-view/)

This would make it easier for anyone to experiment locally merging in vmmaker updates��without needing access to the particular conversion-tool being used.

That is, it would fan out better to potential contributors.��

It might be useful to similarly have an independent "headless-tracking-extracted".��

How is the extraction currently being done?��

Is it a script being run adhoc by particular people or is it run by a CI job?

Again it would fan out better to potential contributors to not need access to the extraction script.

cheers -ben��
