Hi, we had in the system circular package dependency between Catalog and GTools and we decided to solve it by simple moving of one method from one package to other one. However, these two packages are external packages managed by configurations. That means that we needed move the method, save dirty packages and fix both configurations. For the catalog we have very simple configuration because it manages only one package (and dependency on STON). ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore was more complicated because the repository already included newer development version of the modified package so we needed to merge. But because we are not the maintainers, we cannot know if the change in this package is not requiring changes in other packages provided by the configuration. Well, the new configurations were prepared and copied into inbox. We needed to create next two issues for updating of the configuration in the system. We did it and integrated all together in one update. But that is not all... ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore is used by three other configurations ( ConfigurationOfGTPlaygroundCore, ConfigurationOfGToolkitCore and ConfgurationOfGTDebugger) that specify number of ConfigurationOfGTInspectorCore version. In ideal state you should create new versions of the configurations but that means that you need to modify configurations of all other configurations that use them. It is simpler just modify current configuration and upgrade required version number of GTInspectorCore. That means to create three next issues, each for one configuration, create new configuration versions (and check and merge the newer versions in the home repository if needed), copy them to the inbox, wait for the review and hope that during integration the Integrator will not create new versions of some packages. If yes, you need to update configurations again. So at the end you have at least six issues because you wanted to change package for one method that has still the same content and is placed in the same class... And it can be worse. Both of these external projects have public access to the repository and are managed the same way (not mixing MC with GIT). As you see, it is crazy and unmaintainable. It is clear that we need to change the process. We need to discuss it deeply and some of the results may touch maintainers of the external projects integrated in Pharo but please keep in mind that the current system is clearly bad. Cheers, -- Pavel
