I'm really interested in getting TextLint distributed as a debian and
ubuntu packages. If you can lead this, I will help you as much as I
can. I don't think you need a package for Pharo itself. Just try to
create a package from what is on github: the pharo image + VM + bash
and emacs scripts. You can send me private emails.
