Could you possibly spin a (alpha) release that I could use?
well, Iâm working on commit also generated sources as an amend⦠but you will need to wait a couple of days for that :) Esteban
The problem with building directly from Git is that then I need to use another Pharo for bootstrapping and this will complicate the build process considerably. I can't use the get.pharo.org <http://get.pharo.org/> method on NixOS both because the binary won't be compatible and because I need all dependencies to be locked down with a known sha256. So I would need to build the previous VM release from source and combine that with a compatible (pre-5.0) image to run VMMaker. This sounds a bit complicated, time consuming, and prone to error if I am using a much older image than the official releases for bootstrapping.
