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';

baseline: ��Blah��;

load.

and in your baselines, when you include another project you do

spec

baseline: ��Blah��

with: [ spec repository: ��github://someuser/someproject:sometag' ].

cheers!
