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.

Best

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).

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.

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