Re: [Pharo-users] How to depend on another Github repo from the baseline ?

      Hi Kilon,

I think you can simply do:

baseline: spec
<baseline>
spec
for: #pharo
do: [
spec baseline: 'SmaCC' with: [ spec repository:
'github://ThierryGoubier/SmaCC' ].
spec package: 'Ephestos' with: [ spec requires: #('SmaCC') ] ]

You can also restrict what you load from SmaCC in this way:

baseline: spec
<baseline>
spec
for: #pharo
do: [
spec baseline: 'SmaCC' with: [ spec repository:
'github://ThierryGoubier/SmaCC' ].
spec import: 'SmaCC'.
spec package: 'Ephestos' with: [ spec requires: #('SmaCC-Python') ] ]

(i.e. by importing the baseline of SmaCC, you can choose among the groups
or the packages of SmaCC...)
...
From what Dale told me, you can only import one baseline this way. But you
can add from more than one baseline with import: provides:
baseline: spec
<baseline>
spec
for: #pharo
do: [
spec baseline: 'SmaCC' with: [ spec repository:
'github://ThierryGoubier/SmaCC' ].
spec import: 'SmaCC' provides: #('SmaCC-Python').
spec package: 'Ephestos' with: [ spec requires: #('SmaCC-Python') ] ]

Dale, is that correct? I haven't tested those, so...

Note that any kind of repository can host a baseline this way,
smalltalkhub, squeaksource, etc...

version05: spec
<version: '0.5'>
spec
for: #'pharo4.x'
do: [
spec
baseline: 'GitFileTree'
with: [ spec repository: '
http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/ThierryGoubier/GitFileTreePharo40/main' ];
import: 'GitFileTree' ]

And of course a baseline can require a configuration...

I'm still exploring all the possibilities this allows (and, more important,
how configurations may be simplified to defer effective loading to a
baseline inside the master repository, so that the configuration very
rarely has to be updated).

I have this very simple baseline for Ephestos
baseline: spec
    <baseline>
    spec
      for: #pharo
      do: [
        spec package: 'Ephestos' with: [Metacello new
    baseline: 'SmaCC';
    repository: 'github://ThierryGoubier/SmaCC';
    load] ].
The above code works fine for me. The user can install Ephestos from
configuration browser that has a configuration that loads this baseline
which in turn not only loads the latest code for the project but also runs
this block to make sure Smacc is installed for Ephestos to use.
The question however how else I can do this and what are the advantages
and disadvantages for those other approaches ?
