ok after rereading your emails more carefully i realised that you meant that BaselineOf should go to its own package, so I moved the class to BaselineOfNireas package and now it does not report the same error but now it complain that project,baseline or configuration not specified.��

Is it mandatory to specify a configuration for my project , I though the baseline class was enough. Would love to hear more info on the subject, I am looking also at the Metacello chapter which by the way is in Deep Into Pharo and not PBE , I see loads of info on the subject but does not seem to mention anything about the BaselineOf class .��

Will love it if we can gave a simple way to load git repos to pharo 4.��

the actual code i used is��

any help is appreciated :)��

hello Dale I tried your approach with a new project I created called Nireas, its a theme manager for pharo 4. I followed your instructions and it complains that it cannot find the BaselineOfNireas

This is the code I used

here is the repo��

Thank you Dale, this is more simple than I expected.��

From what you linked it looks like by [:comitish] you mean the git branch .Which in my case is master so it should be��

�� Metacello new
������ baseline: 'BaselineOfXXX';
������ repository: 'github://kilon/phEphestos:master/'
������ get;
������ load.


From looking at your repo on githug, the expression would be:

���� Metacello new
���������� baseline: 'Ephestos';
���������� repository: 'github://kilon/phEphestos:master'
������ get;
������ load.

A commitish is a branch, SHA or tag. Note also, that my example was wrong ... the 'BaselineOf' shouldn't�� be used in the baseline: argument, just the base name of the project.

You also need to create a BaselineOfEphestos which specifies package load order. BaselineOfEphestos would be created as a subclass of BaselineOf and have a single method:

�� baseline: spec
������ <baseline>
������ spec
���������� for: #pharo
���������� do: [
�������������� spec package: 'Ephestos' ].

Then the above expression would load the Epestos package.

If you were to add another package, say EphestosTests, then you'd update the baseline to declare that EphestosTests requires Ephestos to be loaded first you'd edit the baseline: method:

baseline: spec
������ <baseline>
������ spec
���������� for: #pharo
���������� do: [
�������������� spec
������������������ package: 'Ephestos';
�� �� �� �� �� package: 'EphestosTests' with: [ spec requires: #( 'Ephestos' ) ] ].

You commit the BaselineOf along with the rest of the packages for your project ...

For more information see the Metacello chapter in Pharo by Example...
