Pharo Issue Tracker - Manuscript (Case [Issue]21615) Pharo Bootstrap - Separate bootstrap process in to distinct stages

Manuscript Notification

	Alistair Grant opened Case 21615: Separate bootstrap process in to distinct stages and assigned it to Guillermo Polito: Bug in Pharo Bootstrap: 1. Pharo Image • You are subscribed to this case

The current bootstrap process has scope for improvement :-):

- Downloads occur at various stages during the process, which makes it difficult to test new code in a personal environment, e.g. choosing a specific VM to bootstrap with.
- Code is duplicated in Jenkinsfile and the various shell scripts
- It isn't easy to snapshot the process and resume bootstrapping from that point (related to the first item).

The proposed patch is a first step that will restructure the shell scripts in to the following phases:

1. Clean up (remove any artefacts from previous runs)
2. Download all required files
3. Prepare the image for bootstrap
4. Build the new image

This work is intended to complement the existing effort by Pablo and others to move more of the code from shell scripts to Pharo.

A second PR will refactor Jenkinsfile to call the new scripts, removing the code duplication.

Cheers,
Alistair
