I'm really interested in getting TextLint distributed as a debian and ubuntu packages. If you can lead this, I will help you as much as I can. I don't think you need a package for Pharo itself. Just try to create a package from what is on github: the pharo image + VM + bash and emacs scripts. You can send me private emails. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them." James Iry
