Its not about removing the whole blessed repository, i was saying
about removing makefiles which is in /unixbuild /macbuild etc. To not
confuse people.
Or making it work, if it can work with ConfigurationOfCog..

That's the only way to know if people (all but you) can still build the VM or not. If hudson fails, all will fail. In this case since Hudson uses your branch, it doesn't help, because everything looks fine but it is not.

If we start with "ohh yes, but blessed is outdated and you need XXX version of YYY branch and pharo image ZZZZ" then we will end up with the same problems of squeak vm with svn. So...if you really want to get profit of all your spent time in Cmake, ConfigurationOfCog, etc, then blessed must be always working with its correct ConfigurationOfCog.

Initially blessed was just to reflect the svn repository. Now it
contains some deltas so, it is not 1:1 copy of svn.
I was using own branch, because i wanted to keep blessed clean (to
track svn sources only), and that's why i didn't set up build system
to use blessed,
because it won't work in such setup.

Esteban proposed to create a branch for to track svn sources
separately, while blessed repository will be used as a public source
of VMs we building/using.
If everyone agrees with such setup, then i can do the changes.
