No. Check out the stable squeak article announced on the list
recently; the stable squeak folk should be able to tell you more.
Also, there are some existing squeak debs as Bert pointed out - I
can't recall who that maintainer is. It may be worth thinking about
how multiple squeak versions should co-exist (released squeak &
testpilot squeak from SqC, the stable squeak fork, etc.) Also how
often to update the package(s) ? Perhaps:
- debian stable tracks SqC's released squeak (VM + updates)
- debian unstable tracks the latest VMs, plugins, + SqC's testpilot updates
- a separate stable-squeak package is made available when that shows
up. I imagine there will be a need for separate packages for a while.
