Hi,

even when contributing to Pharo 7.0 is still very very cumbersome I was able
to sort out most of the problems and contribute already a few smaller things.

Unfortunately there is not much communication on what is currently in the pipe
or planned on easing the process - which can easily lead to the impression
that we do not really move or slow us down.

I know step by step it goes and at least we have again the build process rolling
https://pharoweekly.wordpress.com/2017/08/16/pharo-70-is-starting-to-roll-for-real/

Nonetheless one of my PRs was already integrated and the integration of my WebBrowser
package is still in the pipe (https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/193)

The descriptions from Guille helped me - but there are still things I need
answers to:

��1. Will or is it still possible to automatically update" an image in Pharo 7
�� or in the future?
�� The World menu entry "System" -> "System update" has been removed?

�� Is this temporary of will it return once we know how it could be done again?

You can update your image in Iceberg by switching to the updated #development branch and then to reload all packages. In most cases it will probably work fine but it does not know the right packages loading order, does not know changes in the packages structure etc.

And some updates cannot be done at all (e.g.��https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/205). So you can expect troubles.

With Cargo we can get smoother updating process but trying to maintain it now would be IMHO waste of resources.
