Hi!
Are the packaging stuff in opensmalltalk too, or just in pharo-vm? It would be great to move all to opensmalltalk. What is specificity of pharo-vm repository now?
the packaging bits are in the pharo-vm repository only. What is pharo specific from a technical point of view is that I re-generate the sources before building the source package. There is a Makefile[1] that drives building the source package and the actual compilation is here[2]. I don't want this to sound offensive but the non-technical part is that it seems easier to get changes into the PharoVM than into opensmalltalk-vm. One example could be the FilePlugin and my attempt to use inotify without periodic polling (wastes power, adds latency and increases your bill in cloud computing, etc). I am happy to answer questions about the packaging process or the OBS/travis-ci integration! holger [1] https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/Makefile.debian [2] https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/packaging/pharo6-vm-co...
