Hi Max, It'd be great if we could use this to automatically produce Debian packages of all supported OSVMs. These packages should also work on Ubuntu and other Debian-like distros right? What would it take to integrate your script into our current CI pipeline? Where could the packages be hosted?
Cheers, Fabio

Hi,
At Netstyle we need to be able to build the VM ourselves for our infrastructure. With the current build setup that isn't possible but since we really need to do this we went ahead and hacked together a build script for pharo.cog.spur (threaded) for Debian 9 stretch that also works with GCC 6.
You can find the script on GitHub: https://github.com/Netstyle/opensmalltalk-vm-build-script.
We've also automated building a debian package for the VM (not part of the script), so if anyone is interested I can provide that part too.
We hope that this build script will help make it easier for other people to build the VM on their own infrastructure.
Please consider improving the build setup. There are too many magic things happening in places hard to find (e.g. that magic checkout that *completely* changes the build output).
Cheers, Max
