Hi Stef, 2018-04-20 7:09 GMT+00:00 Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com>:
The underlying questions (sorry for people that need subtitles) are:
- how do we have a central place to declare projects - right now in Smalltalkhub/list is a nice way to find projects with the move to github we should get a central place
Christophe has been working on project repository and we should check what he has. @Christophe?
- how do we make sure that we can validated (I can load this version of XMLParser in that version of Pharo) -- in this version of Pharo what is the latest working version of this package
- if people do not maintain/add "configuration" into the catalog what is the point? -- How can we ease the participation to the catalog? Esteban I do not care about the format. Do you think that editing STON is easier than a class? I think that we should have a button. Look people do not care about posting their project into the repo. May be we need a crawler?
That's why I try to do with PI https://github.com/hernanmd/pi It's 100% command-line, which I know smalltalkers don't love. However after working with Python, R, Perl, etc. I saw the world expects a pretty standard package installation pattern. I feel (outsider) people really don't care if there is a Catalog, StHub, PepeHub. Please everyone feel free to fork and add/fix anything you need from PI. Hernan
@Peter no cargo is not dead now christophe cannot fix all the time the PharoLauncher and make progress on Cargo -> Pakbot And yes I really want to have something that we can use soon.
- Needed immediate actions: -- support baselineOf -- how could we make sure that we can publish in multiple repo? (After this is just a copy so I click on the package and say copy to).
What else. @thierry the story I do not use the catalog because the icons are not understandable is not really good to me.
