Yes. I would like to connect MonticelloBrowser to the toolKit. I hope it will not take long. If someone wants to give a try, then the project is on squeaksource. The GUI is quite intuitive and corresponds to my needs (e.g., automatic saving the packages when I create a new version). Alexandre On 13 Jan 2011, at 15:26, Dale Henrichs wrote:
Hernán,
Good points...I've opened a feature request against Metacello:
http://code.google.com/p/metacello/issues/detail?id=105
with your suggestions ... I agree that this kind of functionality should be included in a Metacello tool ... I think that Alexandre Bergel is working on just such a tool:)

Hernán,
It _is_ possible to write some scripts that could automate the checking:
ConfigurationOfXXX project updateProject
loads the latest version of the mcz file for the configuration. Then you could write a little script like:
Not so fast :) What would be nice is to
A - Checking for new Configurations 1) Detect new uploaded ConfigurationOfXXX
B - Checking for new package versions of existing Configurations 1) Detect new versions of loaded ConfigurationOfXXX
2) Inform the user 3) Ask the user if wants to load/update the ConfigurationOfXXX in background. 4) Ask the user if want to apply the new ConfigurationOfXXX for updating the XXX.
Then people don't have to search ConfigurationOfXXX scripts over mailing lists and web pages.
| project | project := ConfigurationOfXXX project. project updateProject project currentVersion< project latestVersion ifTrue: [ self inform: 'A new version of ConfigurationOXXX is available' ].
to simplify the check for new versions a bit more...you could even automate the load of the newer version if you were brave:)
I think brave souls were gone from earth long time ago :) but anyway this could be a dirty script to start
[ | packageName pkgNames oldPkgsNames | packageName := 'ConfigurationOf'. pkgNames := OrderedCollection new. [ oldPkgsNames := pkgNames. [ pkgNames := ( ScriptLoader new metacelloRepository allFileNames select:[ : name | name beginsWith: packageName ] thenCollect: [: v | v copyUpTo: $- ] ) asSet. Transcript show: TimeStamp current. pkgNames size> oldPkgsNames size ifTrue: [Transcript show: ' : New ConfigurationOf found : ' , ( pkgNames difference: oldPkgsNames ) asString; cr ] ifFalse: [ Transcript show: ' : No new ConfigurationOf were found'; cr ]. ] on: Error do: [ :ex | Transcript show: TimeStamp current; space; show: ex messageText ]. ( Delay forSeconds: 10 ) wait. true ] whileTrue ] forkAt: Processor userBackgroundPriority. " 20 "
then you may modify it for detecting new package versions, checking frequency, etc. I've seen there's a sort of Metacello UI...

Ok if there are not, I think is a must, I spend a lot of time searching for the updated scripts or exporting/importing them in my images. What about creating a wiki page in the google project?

Hi,
Is there any page/tool where all the updated ConfigurationOf.... installing scripts are found? Best regards,
