Hi, in the process to upload a new version of the vm to Debian, I've been redoing the packaging and testing it a bit. The results are available at http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-squeak/packages/squeak-vm/trunk/debian/ or to anyone joining to the collaborative project to maintain squeak in Debian: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-squeak/
This is a brief collection of the problems I got after testing: - The scripts squeak & squeak.sh don't work in Debian (or don't do it for me)
- Gstreamer and Pango plugins segfault in amd64, so any image using them will segfault in this architecture. So latest version of etoys will have this problem.
- There are lintian problems with the FFI plugin, the error is explained here: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/shlib-with-non-pic-code.html and some possible workarounds are available http://sam.zoy.org/blog/2007-04-13-shlib-with-non-pic-code-have-inline-assem...
- There are still some patches needed for sound in 64 bits that I apply because haven't been applied in the squeak-vm subversion, they're available at http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/pkg-squeak/packages/squeak-vm/trunk/debian/pat...
- The browser plugin can not be compiled anymore
For the plugins problem I don't have enough knowledge of them to be able to fix them, if anyone has time or ideas to help in fixing them, they're very welcome.
