Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] I stop maintaining the Ubuntu packages
Count me in. I still have a ubuntu installation. Don't know what I have to do, but I'll try it. 2014-09-24 9:41 GMT+02:00 Damien Cassou damien.cas...@gmail.com: Dear all, I've recently switched my Linux distribution from Ubuntu to NixOS. This means I can no longer maintain the Ubuntu packages and their PPA (https://launchpad.net/~pharo/). These packages need a maintainer! The good side of it is that it is not a lot of work as I did all the automating infrastructure: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-ubuntu. Basically, the maintainer will have to launch a few shell scripts regularly (once a month for example). I will obviously be available to help the new maintainer. The community needs *you*. Good news is: I packaged the Pharo VM for the Nix package manager which can be installed on many Unix (e.g., Linux, MacOS X, FreeBSD). And NixOS will have the Pharo VM package in its next release in October! -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm.

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] I stop maintaining the Ubuntu packages
Sad news. I switched from OSX to Ubuntu and i also plan to switch from Win8 to Ubuntu. I really hope Pharo will find a new maintainer for the most popular Linux Distribution.
