Another advantage of using Metacello is that even if you don't have dependencies, it helps you to release and define stable versions. How do you know which mcz should I use ? which one is the stable ?

If in 3 months I download it again (the latest) in the same Pharo image, will it work?� You cannot know it.

Hi Alex:

Yes I know how to write a configuration (I did one for Iliad) but to
this case in particular I think have not sense. My logger is only one
class with a few methods.....Easily you can include the class on your
own project.

Having a configuration for all tools means there's one way to load every package. That means we can automate with the Hudson server and check that every package can load on Pharo. It's also easier for newbies, they can start by learning only one (documented) way to load a tool.

That's a great strength in Ruby world, there's a gem for every lib.�

Anyway, I can do it as it's an opportunity to record a screencast for Pharocasts to show how to write a ConfigurationOfXXX and put it on MetacelloRepository. (if anybody else want to do it I can help)

Cheers,

Laurent
