Questions!

Where can I find the source code for the latest stable Linux/unix VM for
Pharo 5.0? I want to package it for a Linux distribution (NixOS).

Currently I am confused:

The release tarballs at
http://files.pharo.org/vm/src/vm-unix-sources/blessed show the latest
non-Spur version being 2016-02-18.

The github repo at https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm has a tag
Pharo50-stable on commit b8ec25a which dates from 2016-05-04. (Is this tag
immutable or does it move around?)

The URL for downloading binaries (get.pharo.org/vm50) does not seem to say
anywhere what version it is downloading, and it was not obvious to me from
downloading the binary and inspecting it with 'strings' either (it's not
for my distro so I can't just run it with '--version').

Help would be appreciated!

Great if somebody could also tell me under what circumstances the spur VM
is preferred to the non-spur VM.
