I've just uploaded the latest version of the vm. I've removed RomePlugin for all the archs, except i386. It's the only one where I've tested it works. I've also tempted of doing the same with ogg and gstreamer plugins, but finally I've let them there. They segfaults often in amd64 too, but don't do it unless the user tries to use those features. With Romeplugin it was different: some squeak images (as etoys) have it activated by default, so squeak segfaults when the image is loaded.
Ah, right. I seem to remember there was a similar problem with Rome on the Mac. I'm cc'ing vm-dev ...
There are still some important bugs in Debian, and some very ugly lintian messages. I don't have too much spare time, so I need some help to deal with them:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=497583 I have not ideas to argue with this man. In fact, I think he might be totally right.
Well, there is a source for this of course (in the VMMaker Squeak package). Generating the C code is a manual, interactive process and requires a running Squeak installation. Making that scriptable is possible, but so far nobody has done it AFAIK.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528774 : let's way how the new package behaves in the autobuilders, but I'm not very optimistic. My only idea is removing hppa arch from the package. Any help in doing it is welcome too.
Let's see how the new package builds, maybe it works better?
