What I would like is that the published conf in the distro projects should get loaded, tests run.... automatically. Stef On Aug 17, 2011, at 8:14 PM, Johan Brichau wrote:

Ideally, I think of the metacellorepository as a kind of 'smart folder' where all metacello configurations of public repositories are automatically included. Something like a smart mail folder on mac mail.
Having two locations with the same package almost always leads to confusion / mistakes / forgetting / etcâ¦
Would such an 'automatic' repository be possible to implement in squeaksource3 and/or smalltalk hub?

The policy should be - put a configurationOf in your package - publish when you want a copy of it in metacellorepository
I will sit with dale sunday because we want the "publish" to copy all the dependent package also in the DistributionMetacelloRepository

I would like to complain a bit about the current way Metacello configurations are distributed in different repositories. I ended up using the wrong configuration for two different projects twice in just two days. Apart from the date in the configuration file (and possibly the version number, although that's not as reliable) there's no easy way to tell which configuration is the most recent.
Some people seem to have adopted MetacelloRepository as the standard repository for all configurations, others keep the configuration for a project in the project repositories and a third group uses both repositories (where one repository contains outdated versions of courseâ¦).
Can we please agree on a simple policy on where to store the configuration for a project? I am sure that this would make life easier for all of us.
