This is a question for the moosers :) Why there is no copy (with stable version) in metarepo of ll configurations that are under the moose umbrella?
That's a question of effort vs results. Moose builds on top of Pharo, which has no stable.
Pharo has a stable version, 3. Bug fix releases are that: bug fixes, and does not break any compatibility.
There are newer builds of Pharo 3 containing bug-fixes. Moose has no Metacello way to identify which build it is running on so no way to create a stable. Moose is a large framework exercising large parts of the Pharo code base so almost all bug-fix releases impact Moose.
Thatâs not true. Bug fixes do not break Pharo and shouldnât break Moose. The fact that you do not declare stable versions of Moose is the reason why you cannot provide a loadable version in Pharo3. You just continued working and breaking backward compatibility. Iâm perfectly ok with that (in fact, I really like all the work around moose), but you should provide a stable version for Pharo 3, like you should provide a development version for Pharo 4.
The test suite of Pharo contains non-green tests so there is no easy way to track issues.
Again, not true. We released Pharo3 with no yellow/red tests. Esteban
In addition there are of course the issues in Moose development itself.
