If you want Seaside 2.9 you should use <http://builder.seaside.st/>.
Yes - but the builder ONLY allows to create a script for an ALPHA release (Seaside 2.9.0-alpha2).
Yes.
The script in ScriptLoader always loaded the NEWEST packages so people, who want to help extending and fixing Seaside could easily load it. It should also make sure that the latest "hot" Seaside stuff is working in Pharo.
This cannot work: 1. Installer initializes packages in random order. 2. Have a look at the LoadOrder page and how many times it changed in the past few months: <http://code.google.com/p/seaside/updates/list>.
Unfortunately since the packages and dependencies change too often it is hard to maintain such a script. Maybe the builder could be extended to allow the generation of a "hot build" script.
That's too complicated at the moment.
Wish Smalltalk would provide better dependency handling with appropriate tools like the dep. graph viewer [1] as in Javas Maven.
We have the dependency handling. What we don't have is the build server. Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch
