So far there were no current public packages and during the last months I have modernized the debian packaging and recently added CentOS rpm packaging as well. The process of generating new source packages is integrated into the pharo-vm travis-ci build as well.

The generated (and used) sourcecode is inside the source package and will be archived by the OBS platform (one can even nicely diff versions). The "stable" VM is not built from pharo-vm.git (yet?) so it doesn't show on OBS yet.

Could/should this description be added to README.md on opensmalltalk-vm?  I think it would be great if we kept information on the various VM build CI servers in README.md.  It would help people find VMs instead of having to build their own and it would give a good idea of the available platforms.
