Hi Lukas, are there plans to include BTree standard in the Pharo image? I was just wondering whether that was why the package is named Collections-BTree, or if you would renaming it to simply BTree.
It's mostly intangible that I have a dirty Collections package in many image (because I often use BTree). Except that, I do find myself sometimes checking in Monticello, "did I change something in Collections? Oh, no, it's just BTree.. Or is it? Let me scroll this list to be sure....." :) Kind of inconvenient, kind of inconsistent for an external package. What do you think?
MC is from time to time marking dirty packages are not. But in your case is it that? Or is there some methods compiled? For the inclusion into pharo here is my take: - if this is important for some internal applications we can the idea is that we copy but lukas keeps control and we merge from time to time as we do with gofer. - Now our goal is to make Pharo-Core smaller and smaller (but slowly) so probably BTree should not be in the core but it could be a package to load into the pharo (core + maintained by us package) or Pharo-dev (core+ maintainedby us + external). Now once we get a nice map of published packages for a release (aka universe browser) it should be easier for people to find/load.... packages. Stef
