Pharo6.0 for linux and PharoV60.sources location

Pardon me if this has been discussed before. I seem to recall somebody ran into this issue or related to this, but I don't remember what the solution was, if there was any.

The linux Pharo 6 download package from Pharo web site has different VM directory structure than Pharo 5. The PharoV60.sources file is not located in the same directory as the VM binary. As a result, if user has image + changes files in another directory, Pharo always gives notification that the sources file is not found. This is not so with the Pharo 5.

In most cases, it's just a notification, but in the past I've run into an error in debugging session when I tried to look into a method because of missing sources file.

Can this be corrected or is it expected for the user to manage sources file where about? I'm hoping a correction or clarification would at least benefit new comers.

Hi Stephane,

thanks for that kind reply! No problem!
I'm unfortunately not too deep into Pharo, but maybe I can help with
the packaging / build process for the Linux downloads (at least my
Linux knowledge is far better than my Pharo knowledge ;-))?

Best regards,
Marc
