In our nearest plans is make an automated (Hudson based) build setup for Cog and Squeak VMs.
this is cool igor!!!
a) image version (or its URL(s) for download) b) script for loading VMMaker (of concrete version)
but how can you set a concrete version if the buid is automatic ? how do you know which version of VMMaker and ALL its dependencies?
we will collect necessary info bit by bit. Obviously, this knowledge is already sits over there, in image, otherwise how else we manage to build VMs till those days? I just want to automate it, which will leave less space for human mistake.
are you going to use ConfigurationOfVMMaker ? if true, how is going to maintain it?
i am not quite sure if metacello will be capable to keep all this info. Some things may require using changesets or other kind of non-packageable messy code. We will see. Things are scary from distance :) In any case i don't think that a config, which fully describing a conglomerate used to generate VM sources and plugins is any bit worse than image which contains same info. Except that you can't diff two smalltalk images to see what difference between them. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
