This is probably wrong mailing list for this question...
I cc'ed metacello and dale :)
Is there a way to define what categories/packages/classes are provided by the given configuration? For example
ConfigurationOfXXX project latestVersion providedPackages
This would not include the packages that are required by the project and are actually provided by other configurations/projects.
If there is a way to produce this kind of package list it would help implementing CI-testing. Testing script would not have to explicitly list what packages to test but could refer to the project definition. Currently one has to alter the testing script every time the packages are changed. With this kind of information one could implement project CI-builds with something like this: whatToBuild := ConfigurationOfXXX project lastVersion. whatToBuild load. HDTestReport runPackages: whatToBuild providedPackages. HDLintReport runPackages: whatToBuild providedPackages.
And then it would be easy to build custom Job plugin to Jenkins that would simply ask about the name and the location of ConfigurationOfXXX.
