Re: [Pharo-users] Iceberg, Git and Package version

Hello,

How are packages versions computed in Iceberg?

I am looking at the Metacello documentation at 'Deep in Pharo', it says I can define dependencies at package level and it uses the following format to identify versions: <dev_name.versionNumber>; which I think is a pattern used by Monticello, right? However, I can't figure what is the equivalent (if any) in Iceberg.

Thanks in Advance, Vitor

Hi Vitor, Package versions do not have any sense on iceberg, where what has sense is the “project” version. All packages point to a commit in repo. This is to say, you do not load single package in iceberg but you load a repository version (which is the commit). That’s why you use Metacello expressions like this: Metacello new repository: ‘github://someuser/someproject:sometag' <github://someuser/someproject:sometag'>; baseline: ‘Blah’; load. and in your baselines, when you include another project you do spec baseline: ‘Blah’ with: [ spec repository: ‘github://someuser/someproject:sometag' <github://someuser/someproject:sometag'> ]. cheers!
