Packaging Pharo for many distributions at once
Hi, I've packaged Pharo VM for the Nix package manager which can be installed on many Unix (e.g., Linux, MacOS X and FreeBSD). This works well but requires installing Nix on your Unix. Another solution is http://openbuildservice.org. Is any of you interested in trying to use this service to build Pharo VM packages for several Linux distributions automatically? I can help.

Hi Damien, I would be interested in a zeroinstall [http://0install.net/] version :) A cool system because it is user-level (no need to go into system admin mode). Thierry 2014-09-24 9:48 GMT+02:00 Damien Cassou <damien.cassou@gmail.com>:

It looks interesting but requires the user to install 0install before being able to install Pharo. A big drawback ...

This is because you don't have yet half a dozen things already installed via 0install ;) All non-native package managers have that issue. Thierry

I know ... That's why native packages are still interesting even if it's difficult to manage various package descriptions and build.
