Hi Laurent. Thank you very much for tacking care. Now I was thinking: the ONLY way to correclty be able to reproduce a VM version we need not only the VMMaker side but also SVN. If 6 months from today, I try to load version 1.4 with trunk, it won't work. I need to downloa an spceific SVN revision, as you write it in the commit comment. However, I was thinking that it would be great to put such information in the description: of Metacello. Not even the version (as the repo can change) but also the whole command. Not necesary while a verison is in #development but yes when it is realed. So, suppose I release 1.4 I can write:
version14: spec
������ <version: '1.4' imports: #('1.4-baseline') >
������
������ spec for: #common do: [
������ ������ spec blessing: #development.

Of course, this is just an example...
what do you think ? I hope this will increase traceability between Smalltalk code and svn.
