Damien: Is there some guide to do the same in a private environment? I is... using an HTTP/FTP/Git server as the monticello repo (SmalltalkHub seems overkill). Kilon: I guess the main prerequisite is to have all the Monticello packages of your classes properly configured, and also the Metacello stuff in line (ConfigurationOf...). Then it is a matter of setting up a new image through command line loading the needed Metacello versions and then your own. You can do this in the context of a CI server or with a fresh image + cmdline in your own computer. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo 2013/9/11 Damien Cassou <damien.cassou@gmail.com>

So what the best way to ensure that I have the latest version of pharo ?
what many of do is to let a continuous integration server build your application on top of the latest Pharo everyday. So, you would have to:
- push your code somewhere public (e.g., smalltalkhub) - write a configuration for your application (read the metacello chapter of this book http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/deepIntoPharo/) - register at https://ci.inria.fr/ - ask to be a member of the pharo-contribution project on https://ci.inria.fr/ - create a new job by cloning https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Helper/job/JobTemplate/
And let Jenkins to the job. Everyday, you start your work by downloading the newest image built by Jenkins. I advise you to use the Pharo launcher (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher) which downloads images directly from Jenkins.
