Hi all,

I have restored (I think) the green status of minheadless build.

Thank you so much!

We could eventually authorize failure of all those builds, or restrict the number of flavours that we build (it takes really loooong time before we get CI feedback).

But if we abandon all those now, I fear that we never catch up; it's a one way ticket. IMO there are still interesting ideas to take, even if development has continued in Pharo fork...

One approach might be to split them into “essential” and “nice to have” so we get faster feedback from the “essential” set.

Now the next failing build on travis is about squeak.cog.v3. Did some incompatible VM change took place?

For example https://travis-ci.org/github/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/jobs/738831149

To reproduce the failed build locally, download smalltalkCI, and try to run something like:

	bin/smalltalkci -s Squeak-4.6 --headfull /path/to/.smalltalk.ston

Could these test failures be nothing to do with the VM but instead to do with the (growing) divergence between trunk/spur and Squeak 4.6?
