[ANN] Pharo VM packaging for Ubuntu

Damien Cassou
Hi,

I'm happy to announce a brand new packaging of the Pharo VM. The
packaging works with all officially supported Ubuntu releases, both 32
and 64bits (see this list of Ubuntu support dates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases).

I pushed these new packages to a different PPA so I can test without
impacting current users :
https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/unstable/+packages

If you are using an old version of Ubuntu (e.g., Precise 12.04 or even
Lucid 10.04), you should try with this new PPA.

Please report problems by email to me directly.

An advantage of this new packaging is that it should become much
easier to create Ubuntu packages for your own Pharo projects. I will
talk about that later as I try these new packaging mechanism on the
Launcher, Pillar and Phratch projects.
