Hello,
How do I do project dependency management with Iceberg?
This is still Metacello.
��
I tried sometime ago but I was unable to understand how it work together with Metacello, is there some tutorial available?
Well, there is a chapter in the Deep Into Pharo book
But that covers ConfigurationOf only. The technical part on how you define a dependency does not change too much between Configurations and Baselines.
The main difference is that��
- a ConfigurationOf will store inside it several baselines (in baseline methods) and several versions (in version methods)
- a BaselineOf defines a single baseline in a baseline method. And versions are declared in the VCS using whatever you like the most, most commonly being tags.
Then, inside a BaselineOf, if you want to define a dependency to a project in github for example, you can specify it like this:
spec
baseline: 'Tonel'��
with: [ spec repository: 'github://pharo-vcs/tonel:v1.0.9/src' ]
��
Where Tonel is the name of the project and the strangish url is then used to construct a github url. So it's something like
[provider]://[owner-name]/[project-name][:version][/subdirectory]
- provider can be (so far) any of github, bitbucket, gitorious
- If version is ommited then it will just download the main branch (usually master)
- Otherwise you can specify any commitish (commit hash, tag name, branch name)
- If your source code is stored in a subdirectory of the repository, you can specify it after the version.
Then, to load project you can either��
- use the Metacello plugin from Iceberg (right click -> Metacello -> Install baseline)
- evaluate a Metacello expression in the playground
Metacello new��
�� �� baseline: 'Tonel';��
�� �� repository: 'github://pharo-vcs/tonel:v1.0.9/src'��;��
�� �� load��
Of course you can then just look for senders of #baseline:with: to see other examples in the image.
Cheers,
Guille
