May I suggest that you ask clear questions if you want to engage nice people to help you.
That sounds reasonable. Which questions werenât clear?
The first one where you were reported something I still cannot understand.
Now we as a community will not use Monticello/smalltalkhub anymore
Then officially Monticello is deprecated?
Yes
We are all moving to git and iceberg is really nicely working. Iceberg will get a bit more love in the future in Pharo 80.
Iâm looking forward to it.
Now we spent around 1.5 years to build it and the 450 pharo packages are managed with Iceberg and many other projects so it works. We will probably improve iceberg again.
We will try to make sure that we can still load MC package but since MC package are merely zipped files you will be able to load them by loading the st file.
Or should we just organize MC/zipping/unzipping abilities under Iceberg, and call it the one-stop source management tool for Pharo and all Smalltalks that want to interact with it? Is that the slow drift?
No. Use iceberg and tonel format.
Now this is not Pharo fault if you load a project that did not create a stable version of Pharo7.0.
Sure, but Iâm crashing the VM, not hurting any projectâs code in the image.
This is another problem and we really to understand and see how we can fix it.
If a baseline says âload latest versionâ then why iceberg would load only Pharo 70 version?
I donât recall the âload latest versionâ qualifier.
There is none this is the default in git.
So now you can get frustrated and confused. But did you read the booklet on how to manage code in Pharo70? books.pharo.org <http://books.pharo.org/>
Which book are you referring to here?
I will let you guess. :)
Did you check the wiki and the documentation?
Yes, some. Iâm thinking itâs Smalltalk and shouldnât be that hard in any case. But there is a lot of Git here, and that is complicating things somewhat.
sure it is but it also give us visibility scalability branch less foreign from other dev and monticello was a good soldier but it should rest now.
