Hi,

I believe everyone agrees that one important goal in Pharo is to get to a small code/kernel/seed. During the Pharo Sprint at Bern we saw that the only reason for now having a unified image is just a temporary convenience that stems from two things: 1. Until Pharo 1.3, the core team worked in the core image, and this was frustrating because they were missing proper tools 2. After 1.3, building a pharo image out of a seed image was perceived as being too long and not fitting for the process of integration

It's clear that the core team needs development tools. However, we think that 2 can be actually quite cheap if the build starts from the latest seed, and not from the original seed of 1.4 as it currently seem to happen.

Nope, 1.3 is build from the very latest 1.3Core. Build takes 42 Minutes.

I am not sure what you say nope to :). I know that 1.3 is built from the core - this is what I meant with 'until 1.3'. Regarding the time, I meant to produce a minimal development image like the current Pharo image (maybe adding a better browser inside). As I said, I can try to help, if you point me into the direction of a smaller seed image. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every thing has its own flow"
