Hi everyone,

I have spent some time creating a new package manager UI for Pharo 10 to
simplify package finding and installation. It is a Spec application which
introduces a new concept: Package Formulas. These are just annotated
methods with an installation expression, so they do not depend on
Metacello, Gofer, Pakbot or any other package manager.

Some features are:

  • Package Formulas already includes a predefined set of categorized
    formulas.
  • UI allows you to install packages in bulk.
  • It is simple to create a script from selections.
  • Scripts can be decorated with pre, post, and wrapper actions.
  • You can request to list your own or recommended formulas by opening
    issues from the UI.
    • Then the package formula will be reviewed to avoid naming conflicts,
      and to prevent adding broken formulas.
    • The UI could be used with a custom container of your favorite,
      validated, isolated or private formulas.
  • (Currently) it does not automatically collect packages from remote
    repositories or query on-line servers, however, you can easily jump to
    browse a selected project homepage.
  • License is MIT.

Hope you like it.

Hi Hernán,

Thanks, it looks very interesting!

How do you add a new formula? I couldn’t find any info on where formulas are fetched from in the readme (there is a bullet on “where they are not fetched” but…).

Hi Guille,

To add a new formula just compile a new method with the pragma <formula:
#mycategory> in PackageFormulas. The class side of PackageFormulas has all
the formulas as methods.
There should be some primitive form of "help" in there to write a formula,
but it is just a matter of pasting your install expression:

Let me know any suggestions.

Cheers,

Hernán
