Miriam,
Hi! :)
This is great! I was under the impression that there were issues with the
pre-packaged squeak-vm on Ubuntu that prevented us from using it. This kept
us from solving the 64 bit packaging problem.
I've been using it for some days in my system without perceiving any
problem, and I plan to use it next weeks with the kids. As far as I
noticed, it works OK :)
I plan to test your package out soon but am a bit swamped at the moment --
have you found any problems? If it all works , I'm inclined to commit your
packaging changes to the assembla repository and rebuild an "official"
package based on your code. We would maintain it. You haven't made any
changes to the Squeak code, right - just the packaging?
Yup, right. I haven't modified your orig.tar.gz source package in any
way, only the scripts in debian/ to build the package. In my opinion,
the package would still benefit of a couple of days of care and love.
If you think it would be worth to upload to the official Debian and
Ubuntu repositories, I could take care of that, or help/teach you or
your team to do it, or co-maintain the package, if you wish.
One thing to rule out first: Squeak changed some sound primitives in later
versions of the VM that should break sound in current versions of Scratch.
Not sure exactly how - maybe a pink box, or maybe it'll crash. But if you
are using updated VMs, we should test sound thoroughly.
In my system at least, sounds seems to work OK. I'm using ALSA, not
Pulse, though.
Greetings,
Miry
