Hi, What is the story around PharoMinimal and related images ?
Is there a writeup somewhere with instructions ? I see that we get **FANTASTIC** startup speed with it: $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS $ ./pharo --version 5.0-201708271955 Sun Aug 27 20:09:20 UTC 2017 gcc 4.6.3 [Production Spur VM] CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-eem.2265 uuid: 76b62109-629a-4c39-9641-67b53321df9a Aug 27 2017 StackToRegisterMappingCogit VMMaker.oscog-eem.2262 uuid: 8b531242-de02-48aa-b418-8d2dde0bec6c Aug 27 2017 VM: 201708271955 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ Date: Sun Aug 27 21:55:26 2017 +0200 $ Plugins: 201708271955 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git $ Linux testing-gce-ebf45dd8-6a4c-43a5-abd0-e5d8673d05a4 3.13.0-115-generic #162~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 24 16:47:06 UTC 2017 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux plugin path: /home/audio359/pharo7/pharo-vm/lib/pharo/5.0-201708271955 [default: /home/audio359/pharo7/pharo-vm/lib/pharo/5.0-201708271955/] $ curl get.pharo.org/70-minimal | bash ... $ ./pharo Pharo.image printVersion [version] 'Pharo7.0' 'Pharo-7.0+alpha.build.172.sha.d13eed2f80fe19f29fd85ede8c4809d6a6986d4f (32 Bit)' $ time ./pharo Pharo.image eval '5 factorial' 120 real 0m0.083s user 0m0.034s sys 0m0.042s That is less than 1/10 of a second on a simple server ! Wow. Loading new code in that image seem hard though. I see that in http://files.pharo.org/image/70/ there are Pharomonticello & Pharometacello variants. Any pointers on usage/meaning ? Thx, Sven
