Since you asked I reply. For calypso we try and sometimes fail and retry. But we do not rant.
Now the solution is also to have tests and this is what we are doing. We want more tests and we are working on having more tests.
The solution is also to have ***********positive********* communication.
Agreed.
There is no point to piss on our process because - we were the first to push package usage back in squeal 3.9 - increase enormously the number of tests - have CI to run the tests and use PR. and it is working!
So before bashing us I would expect a bit of respect that it is due to our track record.
A massive amount of work on the process has been done behind the scenes, and we are reaping the benefit of it daily. Thanks everyone involved in that. By offering some ideas to take things to the next level I didn't mean to imply something was wrong, more acknowledging the constraint under which those decisions are made. Finally it takes 1 min to enter a bug entry and now you cannot even
complain that you have to log because it is on github. (BTW nobdoy is asking the amount of time it takes US to migrate and go over the bug entry - again I ask for respect for the people doing this tedious, boring but important job).
When VMMaker will be available in Pharo we will be able to automate things not before.
Cool. As priority and constraints dictate, it will be a good day when it gets here. Please remember also that Igor paid by us spent a lot of time making sure
that everybody and in particular our jenkins server could automatically build vm.
So we believe in agility, communication and automation.
I like that. Thanks for your response. cheers -ben
