Thank you again. I also watched the ESUG video of "Whatever you wanted to know about metacello and you were afraid to ask" and read the chapter on PBE2, it does seem a bit complicated but not hard to understand. Looks simple enough. ________________________________ From: Stéphane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse@inria.fr> To: dimitris chloupis <thekilon@yahoo.co.uk>; A friendly place where any question about pharo is welcome <pharo-users@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Sent: Saturday, 25 August 2012, 10:13 Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo fails to update have a look a the softwareUpdater class. in essence    you have a list of files       pha-1232.cs       pha-1233.cs          ⦠   then in the pha-1232.cs you get any smalltalk code for Pharo, you get instructions to kick a script (method of ScriptLoader) that will load a list of packages.

thank you for helping me understand. Is there any chance the updating mechanics are documented somewhere ? I have noted to study metacello too.

I am also wondering if update is good way to update my own code. I am actually thinking distributing my own pharo distribution for a project I am making called "Ephestos" (for visual and live coding, think of it as a simplification of Pharo with eye candy but of course still very compatible with pharo and squeak) and I wanted to provide to my users a super easy "update" button to do its magic.Â
the update mechanism is working well. this is unrelated to metacello.
