Hi,
Is there a way to see the diffs (in terms of changes to image) between one 2.0 build number and another? I don't see any obvious link on the CI server to it, and the github export seems to be done in a way that makes the diffs enourmous.
you can use the git repos and filter out non-st methods: git diff $VERSION_A $VERSION_B -- $(git diff --name-only $VERSION_A $VERSION_B | grep .st) Git even has a utility to find the version that introduced a certain bug :) http://incitecode.com/2009/10/13/finding-bugs-with-git-bisect/
If not, is there a way to do it in image? I can only see changes for individual MC packages, not a more system level diff to see exactly what changed from one build to another.
We should have a global Pharo MC Package which has all other packages as dependencies, that would simplify quite a few things here... Otherwise you're stuck with downloading the image for a specific version which might be corrupted, and thus leaves you without any chance of inspecting the changes...
I was starting to dig into the metacello bootstrapping problem in 2.0 and became clear to me it'd help me a lot if I could more easily follow the diffs.
Thanks, Patrik
