Are users able to load both "squeak-4" and "squeak-5" on the same machine? If there are issues, I can share the shell script that I use to resolve naming conflicts.
Yes, both packages can be installed at the same time.
The packages are also delivered in both 32bit and 64bit (but only Intel/AMD, not SPARC).
The packaging uses "mediators" which is something that can be used to have multiple versions of some system installed.
For example if I have squeak-4 installed (medatior version: 4), and then install squeak-5 it changes version and implementation:
Changed mediators: mediator squeak: version: 4 (system default) -> 5 (system default) implementation: None -> cog-spur (system default)
So the mediator squeak is a property of the packages, to have multiple "builds" or "variations" of the same package installed.
I am not building debug or profile VMs, but for example if a debug VM would be built, then it could set the mediator to some value, so that both the non-debug and the debug VM can be installed together.
