Hi esteban

I did not find the script that you mentioned.

the one for filetree to tonel?

https://github.com/pharo-vcs/tonel/blob/master/MigrateFromFileTree.md

I will copy here:

locationDir := 'path/to/your/repo' asFileReference.
subDir := 'your-source-dir-or-empty'.
sourceDir := locationDir.
subDir 
	ifNotNil: [
		subDirWithDelim := subDir, '/'. 
		sourceDir := sourceDir / subDir ]
	ifNil: [
		subDirWithDelim := '' ].

repo := IceRepositoryCreator new 
	location: locationDir;
	subdirectory: subDir;
	createRepository.

"branch if you want to perform the migration on separated place (you can later do a PR)"
repo createBranch: 'migrate-sources-to-tonel'.

commit := repo branch lastCommit.
repo savedPackages do: [ :each | | filetreePackage |
	TonelWriter fileOut: (commit versionFor: each) on: sourceDir.
	filetreePackage := IceLibgitFiletreeWriter directoryNameFor: each.
	(sourceDir / filetreePackage) ensureDeleteAll.
	 repo addFilesToIndex: { 
		subDirWithDelim, (IceLibgitTonelWriter directoryNameFor: each).
		subDirWithDelim, (IceLibgitFiletreeWriter directoryNameFor: each). } ].

repo addProperties: (IceRepositoryProperties fromDictionary: { #format -> #tonel } asDictionary).

repo 
	commitIndexWithMessage: 'sources migrated' 
	andParents: { commit }.
	
repo push.

but beware, to use 0.6 on Pharo7, better wait until integration (next week): update is not trivial because pharo project comes with some IceMCVersionInfo inside that will become obsolete, etc., etc., etc.

Hi all,

I released Iceberg version 0.6. It includes a lot of small tweaks and fixes,
but the most important inclusion is tonel file format which aims to replace
file tree.

What is Tonel? (https://github.com/pharo-vcs/tonel)
Tonel is a file-per-class file format for monticello repositories. It���s
purpose is to reduce the amount of files touched each operation, make the IO
faster an compact the repositories database.
It has also as an objective to offer an ���easy-to-read��� format, so people
wanting to understand a chunk of code will recognise it easily.
For testing, I migrated several of my projects to Tonel and I���ve been using
it, you can see some as examples:

https://github.com/estebanlm/MUDClient
https://github.com/estebanlm/pharo-tonel (this was just an example and it
has some minimal errors already fixed)

We plan to migrate Pharo development to tonel to address some problems we
have:

- since it has to read/write a lot of files, IO operations are slow
- and even much more slow in Windows
- Windows also has a problem with longpaths.

Iceberg 0.6 will be integrated to Pharo7 soon :)
To update Pharo 6.1, there are instructions in the readme:
https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/blob/master/README.md
now, if you wan to migrate your projects to Tonel (from FileTree), here is a
script you can use:
https://github.com/pharo-vcs/tonel/blob/master/MigrateFromFileTree.md

btw, tonel is independent of Iceberg and can be used with plain Monticello
(but it is a metadaless format, history will reside on git, not on
monticello).

cheers,
Esteban
