Hi Dale,

then a question: how does one query a baselineOf or a configOf to retrieve the current project state (i.e. packages) loaded in the image?

Thierry,

Good question:)

To start with in tODE I have a class TDMetacelloProjectRegistrationDefinition which is part of the following hierarchy:

Object
��TDDefinition
�� TDPackageBasedDefinition
�� TDAbstractProjectRegistrationDefinition
�� TDGitProjectRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloProjectRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloBaselineRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloConfigurationRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloHybridRegistrationDefinition
�� TDMetacelloUnloadedProjectRegistrationDefinition

The method TDMetacelloProjectRegistrationDefinition>>workingCopies[1] calculates the list of MCWorkingCopy instances for the loaded packages associated with a project (including the configurationof or baselineof... or both).

The key Metacello methods called include:

�� MetacelloProjectRegistration>>projectVersion[2]
�� MetacelloMCVersion>>packages[3]
�� MetacelloPackageSpec>>workingCopy[4]
�� MetacelloMCProjectSpec>>projectPackage[5]

This is really the key information for doing all of the other operations for a "Project Browser" like "save all dirty packages and commit" and "give me diffs for all dirty packages in project"...

I was just asking that because I'd like to see that information merged as much as possible; separating concepts just strikes me as unneeded complexity, at least for baselines.
