And to hopefully put an end to the discussion, the current no-package-management-tool situation is akin to the windows world where there are thousands of installers (.cab, .exe, .zip, etc) for each of the available applications. Where we want to get is to the Linux world that have a pair of standardized tools to do *proper* package management that upload a given installation by updating all the appropriate packages and solving the dependencies and conflicts that may occur. This for example, permits to upgrade a debian installation between major releases without need to reinstall everything each time. In this order of ideas, Pharo Debian(deb based) Fedora (rpm based) Metacello aptitude yum Gofer dpkg rpm Monticello .deb package .rpm package SAR/changeset .tar.gz .tar.gz not exactly equivalent but roughly. Cheers

And also the class side install methods of Gofer please.
Lets clean the way for Gofer as downloader/installer, Metacello as package management tools.
These are examples to demonstrate how gofer works. They are not supposed to be called for loading stuff.
I am just using them all the time to keep my images up to date :-)
:) well this was the same for scriptLoader :) I will pay attention to scriptLoader
