Hello all,
I have some basic questions regarding "slices".
On the pharo-project list I see people collaborating the whole time with "slices" (or uploading them).
see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HowToContribute
* What are they? * How are they used? * When to use them, when not?
I don't know exactly what is written there :) but we prefer slices over changesets. Changesets should only be used in special cases where slices won't work. Which is generally the case when changing something in the very core. Usually we have a script that does a sanity check for the incoming slices on the issue tracker called "the monkey". Currently it is out of service, but we will revive it soon. So with this script we can almost fully automatize the integration process. I hope that this answers most of your questions? best cami
