preparing to release: what do we do with this linux distros?

http://pharo.org/STAGE.gnu-linux-installation

I don’t think they will work.

We need to update or remove.

It is impossible to support all the Linux distros out there, they are a PIA if you ask may. There are regularly people asking support for weird distros that are maybe used by just a couple of people (if that many). I think we should have a short list of supported distros, all the others should be contributed.

The basic list of supported targets will be close to this list

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_supported_build_targets

Meaning all "could" be supported if necessary and if there aren't technical issues why it cannot be supported.

People with not so common distros need proper build instructions to do it themselves.

Me, too. But all the work is done by Holger because I don't find time. So no reason to complain for me 😬
