I have done a tool for PhaROS distribution, that is for deploying a package into a middleware, it lets you define the layout of folders, is prepared to add ways of writing ( actually it has implemented the version for local file system, but it should be easy to implement remote deploying ). It let you download vm, image , sources, and it has two post processing places for adding hooks: one in the image that is making the installation, other in the image is being installed. It has a silent mode of execution, when it does run everything in headless Even when it was mean for deploying on middleware, it should be useful. There are two actual disclaimers: is not working in windows yet, you will need to code a bit to specify the layout of installation (is not that is really bad, but is not done yet) http://car.mines-douai.fr/squeaksource/@vLtUOBuLaxNWsghP/UmsTHzMp So tell me if you need it. 2014/1/18 Sean P.

Are there up-to-date instructions - or better yet CI scripts - or even better Smalltalk CI scripts :) - to make installers for Mac/Windows/Unix?
How about if one can not install anything? Mac is easy enough, as a bundle has everything hidden in one, but what about Windows? Can one do better than a batch file + Pharo.ini specifying the image? Or an sh file + folder-with-everything-else for unix?
