Is not works for you? yes. But I think it gets more difficult in Pharo7? So being able to load old code to rewrite it would be nice. :) holger

Re: [Pharo-users] Loading and saving packages to filetree repos

by Luke Gorrie

I wish that somebody would take my original question at face value. It is frustrating to be told that I don't really understand the problem. I actually believe that the solution I am looking for is what I need in this project at this time. I don't want to write an essay-length justification for this position though.

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] Pharo wiki , is here

Completely up to you , personal I love having many options. This is my wiki thus will be maintained by me. Basically it occurred to me that because I already spent time reading mailing list posts , then why not copy paste this extremely valuable posts to a wiki with some structure that is much easier to navigate for newcomers compared to archives of mailing lists. I have no intention of maintaining the content to keep it up to date because I agree that Pharo books should remain as the single source of polished official documentation. The wiki is there to act as a clipboard for content that may or may not enter into one of the books. My No1 goal is a zero maintenance , zero cost , zero learning curve wiki ( assuming you are already a github user). Because also is part of our github group for the books all contributors have already immediate access to it. So I think for my goals this solution is by far the best. I have no intention of creating a swiki for Pharo because as you so correctly said , software won't be much of a problem, keeping the content up to date will be. Keeping up to date Content is something I deal with only Updated Pharo By Example. It's Definetly far harder than copy pasting stuff.

I'm afraid you might do newbies a disservice by adding yet another way of loading and saving combinations of packages. Dependency management is a 5-dimensional problem, so there are no solutions that are both simple and cover the needed variation [1]. In the current discussions on version management on this list the focus seems to be on the solving of simple problems, whilst avoiding the question of how to deal with many repositories. Metacello might not be ideal there, but it provides a shared solution.
