We need some easy to use gem-style installer on the command line.

we have it:��

./pharo Pharo.image get Seaside3

will load seaside into your Pharo.image

this is catalog based, of course (there is no magic there, if you want an easy way to install things, you need a centralised repository).��

Esteban,

I really think that the catalog could benefit by a first class objects like the TDProjectEntry and MetacelloProjectLoadSpec ... these would be objects directly created and maintained by the project developers themselves. The objects�� would be used for custom build scripts, smalltalkCI builds, catalog loads, etc. ... oh and if it was a Metacello class, it would be usable cross platform (Squeak, Pharo, GemStone, etc.)

As a coincidence, I have been planning on talking on this subject at the upcoming Smalltalks conference ... The working title for the talk is "Dangerous Liaisons: Smalltalk, Files and Git" ...
