Hi, I do not really care about being in the official repositories at this point, but rather be able to add our own to the list of repositories (even by hand) so that we can get apt-get install pharovm and apt-get install pharo20 just do their trick.
There is a ton of software requiring addition of their repos so it is a doable route IMV. Then we could think about going into the offical repos. Anyway, I now have a fresh Debian 6 up and running, along with SVN. Next step, get the VM sources, build for linux, get the VM running. Then, package the whole thing. Hopefully doable in beta form for april.
