You cannot - well I guess you specifically can but most people can't -
realize how difficult it is currently to edit some Kernel classes such
as MethodContext. I edited it for Pharo-40003 and it was really hard.
With a bootstrap it will be much simpler.
Recently Eliot wrote an offline converter to convert from a Pharo
image to a Spur Pharo image. Same issue, he had to edit the kernel
(including SmallInteger class !) and it was so difficult that he did
an offline converter instead of a script. I do not even know if a
script would have been possible. With a bootstrap he would just have
needed to edit the sources from which the bootstrap starts.
I am astonished by the work you did and by the work of Guillermo
Polito about the bootstrap, and I can't wait to have it and to use it.
The first step is great. Please keep going.
yes ;)

Hi,
I created the first versions of the jobs that should lead to Pharo
4 partial bootstrapping based on configurations:
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/view/4.0-Bootstrap/ [1]
We are able to load configurations with SUnit and KernelTests.
ConfigurationOfIDE currently does not work [2]. We should focus on
better testing of the basic image. Unfortunately Tests package is
one big bundle. We should move at least this categories to
different or standalone packages:
Tests-Bugs
Tests-CodeImport
Tests-Compression
Tests-Files
Tests-Finalization
Tests-Object Events
Tests-ObjectsAsMethods
Tests-System
Tests-System-CommandLine
Tests-SystemChangeNotification
Tests-SystemTests-Support
Tests-Traits
Tests-Traits-MOP
Tests-VM
Cheers,
