A faster way to start can be to use one of the images from https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/ Pier, QCMagritte and Forum all come with both Magritte and Seaside preloaded.
I don't like this "faster way" of prebuilt images. Makes me think of seeds for forked branches. Unless something is wrong with the package system, I would encourage its use, even if it takes long.
why? you can just read the configuration of the jenkins job and you know how to build it. The difference is that with the jenkins job we are SURE that the script to load works.
If the script to load works in a clean image I would put it in the project page in SmalltalkHub or similar. And a reference to the CI image in case running the script gets convoluted. Again, CI images for testing of important contributions is great, but if projects/packages can't be loaded easily into an existing image it could mean the packaging is done wrong (developer) or the right packaging can't be specified (Metacello and friends), 99% of the times it is the former.
