Hi Damien, I tried the pharo-vm-core install on a clean, minimal Ubuntu Server 12.10 64-bit and it worked flawless. I just wish there was a way to avoid the -vm-display-null option, this is a server after all. Thanks a lot for this contribution, it is really important.

Installing the pharo vm under Ubuntu is just a matter of:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/pharo sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install pharo-vm

Recent changes:

- latest VM packaged - separation between pharo-vm-core (few dependencies) and pharo-vm-desktop (depends on pharo-core + opengl + x11 + cairo) - no more warnings from the packaging systems - pharo man page - no more embedded libraries (pcre and libjpeg) (thanks to Esteban Lorenzano)

Todo list:

- make Pharo a graphical executable that lets user create and launch images (more on that in my next email) - see if Debian would be interested in including this package
