This repository contains the code required to bootstrap a new Pharo environment. This bootstrap takes as input a version of Pharo (could be a metacello configuration version, a Cargo version, and in the future a git commitish) and outputs:
- a new bootstrapped image
- a boot-packages/ directory containing all packages that were bootstrapped and other packages that would be required to start a Pharo experience. E.g., test packages, network libraries, etc.
This bootstrap runs on top of Pharo 5.0. It can however produce images for older formats (a feature that is however not so exploited). All other dependencies (OSSubprocess, Ficus, Espell) are loaded by the baseline automatically).
Just download this repository and load the baseline in a new image. The easiest way to do it is as follows
$ wget -O - get.pharo.org/50+vm | bash
$ ./pharo Pharo.image eval "
Metacello new
baseline: 'BootstrapProcess';
repository: 'filetree://.';
load.
Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true."
Run the bootstrap by calling the specialized Spur bootstrap class. This will generate a Spur image for the corresponding 32 or 64 bit architecture.
