Hi Tim!

Yes, let's make a new VM release to be used in Squeak 5.3 and 6.0alpha. I think we should start this dicussion on vm-dev, so I cross-post this.

Once we find a new candidate that was build after March 24 to fix the ARM bug you mentioned, we can update the CI and the bundles. (https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/releases)

That new release will then be copied over to the CI's base files:

Once the new bundles are produced...
...we can update squeak.org.

But first things first: We need to find a new release candidate for the VM to be tested at least a week. Tim proposed the following version:

202003291024

Eliot? Nicolas? Any thoughts on this?



Can we please use

?

This has this one change that I'd like to be in the VM:

    Spur: Make sure that becomeForward: answers a useful error code for read-only targets (when copyHash is true).

The VM included in the 5.3 package for the ARM linux systems is fatally broken due to a code generator bug; we had various discussions about the issue in mid-March. We also noticed a problem with the bitBLT code for all platforms that was fixed by VMMaker.oscog-nice.2732

We really need to push the magic buttons to replace the ARM package in order for it to run at all; updating the other platforms to fix bitBLT would be nice. A quick test of the next available VM on bintray suggests that the https://bintray.com/opensmalltalk/vm/download_file?file_path=squeak.cog.spur_linux32ARMv6_202003291024.tar.gz version is functional - but maybe we want to use the latest?

What needs doing to solve this for the download page?
