For now, I put a NB with a link to the 64-bit prep instructions on our GNU/Linux download page [1]. For the known cases, I wonder if the best course wouldn't be to bundle the VMs with a prep64bit.sh e.g. Philippe already has such a script and it seems we could just inject it into the CI build. nacho wrote > Or at least inside the README.txt that comes in the zip. Unless we can do that programmatically, I'm hesitant to put anything more than a link to [1], because it will be duplicated logic e.g. probably always out of date! In general, it seems there is already a good deal of duplication out there as many of use have rolled our own 32-bit solutions. We're in the process of bringing these under Pharo's GitHub organization, and I'm calling for anyone with a working solution to add it to https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-workingRoadmaps/blob/master/DownloadInstructions.md . It's hard for me to manage all these great contributions via the mailing list :/ Here's what we've accomplished so far: - the method for different platforms leaves you with different products (e.g. Ubuntu -> Launcher, but Debian -> VM-only). [SOLVED]: The downloads were standardized and categorized - default is vm+image.zip for all platforms, other options (e.g. launcher or vm-only) were made explicit - the instructions at http://pharo.org/download are incomplete (e.g. Debian step 2.i.a below)[SOLVED]: We gave the website GNU/Linux instructions a massive overhaul. See http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation - Old Lib C downloads out of date: http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/linux/old-libc/ last pharovm-ubuntu804.tar.gz is from 8/28/2013, but most recent swing buld is from 9/2014.[SOLVED]: We now have our own libc < 2.15 CI build, with artifacts mirrored to files.pharo.org, and linked from the website - Can we pick up the debian artifact from the Debian build and create a launcher on our CI with it? [SOLVED]: We now have our own libc < 2.15 CI build, with artifacts mirrored to files.pharo.org, and linked - [SOLVED]: Link Launcher instructions to the Launcher tutorial. - [SOLVED]: Remove all GNU/Linux instructions from the main download page. Instead, when a user clicks on the Linux button, they should be taken to a whole different page that explains the intricacies of each platform. - [SOLVED]: put a clear heading for each GNU/Linux flavor (e.g. ###Debian instead of "Looking for a debian distribution?") - [SOLVED]: [OT]: Change all references to Linux -> GNU/Linux.
