[Pharo-project] Call for your input on questions you ask yourselves during merge
Hi guys We are writing some articles on the work of veronica to support merging activities. We need your input great smalltalk community :) What are the questions that you ask yourselves when you are/want to merge some code in your project? We would like to do a compilation of questions and also evaluate how the solution of veronica solves them or part of them. Here are some typical questions we asked ourselves. - What other changes did this change require? - Can I integrate this change right now? - How large it is? - Who made it? - Is it still valid (when I'm working on an old change)? - Is this change impacted by a change that happened in another branch of my software? Stef D., Andy K. and Veronica U.
Here's one (a bit off limits maybe): will my merge (or the commit) be readable by all of my images? Background: Monticello packages with traits are stored slightly different in current Pharo versions than in Squeak. This means that I cannot load such a package version that has been saved with Pharo into Squeak (actually, I can. But it's all a bit of a mess). The consequence is that I have to save changes to such a package from a Squeak image and then load them in Pharo even though the actual development would have happened in Pharo.
