[Vm-dev] Ubuntu 20.04 build steps after opensmalltalk-vm clone.

Mon May 25 17:25:20 UTC 2020

Hey,

As I had changed a couple of scripts in the vm/image directory, something was bugging me about them. I took a long look at what git was pushing and made some changes. I am attaching the changed/new files. What steps could I take to publish on a branch in git? For review. My git skills are rusty and there is a policy issue for how you all proceed here. I am on Cog branch atm.

A few issues,

- when UpdateSqueakTrunkImage.st, there are two changesets requiring a merge. I click Rest Accept and then click Merge, to get past them. It would be really good to be able to auto-merge when updating the trunk image, for CI and such. Is it possible?

> - Merging Tools-eem.959
> - Merging Morphic-mt.1653

- The PreferenceWizard was not open in the resulting images. I added a SetPreferenceWizardMorph.st squeak script to restore and collapse any Workspaces (VMMaker) and close any transcripts. Works for both spur64 & vmmaker64 scripts.
- The getGoodSpurVM.sh (32-bits) is not working on my 64-bit system. Should it? Can I do 32-bits on a 64-bit OS?
- The scripts for building the spur64image was occurring in the update script. The buildspurtrunk64image.sh (I think it was called), is actually a migratespur32to64vmmakerimage.sh, so I renamed it. It doesn't work due to #3.
- The scripts for building the vmmaker64image was occurring in the build script. The two sets of scripts (spur64 & vmmaker64) were opposite. spur64 was building in the update script and vmmaker was building in the build script. I liked the way the spur64 was being built so I made the vmmaker build happen in the update script, like spur64.
- Then I decided that the update scripts were doing building and the building wass also doin gan update. So I renamed everything and now the #build scripts for spur64 and vmmaker are the scripts that both build and update the image (trunk6-64 or Spur64VMMaker). The update scripts simply call the build script.
- I renamed buildspurtrunkvmmaker64image.sh & buildspurtrunkvmmakerimage.sh to buildvmmakerimage.sh and buildvmmaker64image.sh
- I made all the 32 bit scripts, for spur & vmmaker, look like the 64 bit scripts. Due to #3, I cannot test.

I think this is everything I ventured into and changed, based on a "ll -t". I realize I changed the way vmmaker/64 images are built, and also spur/64 images. I tried testing all combos and they worked. Don't really need the #update scripts anymore. Please let me know if you accept these and help me commit&push.

I appreciate all'y'all for all y'all do!

Kindly,
Rabbit
