Hi all,

I've been working on a project in Pharo 3.0 ( an update to the pharo Riak
database driver, over at https://github.com/SmalltalkZen/phriak ), and I
figured I'd try to see if it works in Pharo 4.

I went to the Download Pharo page at http://pharo.org/download and saw the
'Development version: Pharo4' section. So far so good.

I tried the 'Download latest Pharo image' at
http://files.pharo.org/image/40/latest.zip
first. But that only yielded an image and .changes, but no sources (or VM).
So, not so good for development, right?

Tried Zeroconf next, at http://get.pharo.org/alpha
But that too had only .image and .changes, with no source or VM. (Or, at
least, that's the only thing it listed under Artifacts. Does it also
download source and VM once you run the script?)

I eventually dug around in the CI server (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/ ), and
saw the small Full Download (Image+VM) link for my OS. Success!

Couple of questions:

- Am I missing something that's obvious to seasoned Pharo devs? How do you
guys download new versions of Pharo, with sources and everything?

- Is there any way we can include a full download option (image, changes,
sources & VM) on the Download Pharo page? (So that new users don't have to
search around on the CI server)?

- Does the VM change, when you go from Pharo 3 to 4? Or can you just use a
4.0 image with the VM that came in the 3.0 zip?
