Hi Norbert,

Neo-Caching was an experiment, a proof of concept, it has been integrated in Pharo.
See category 'System-Caching', the hierarchy AbstractCache, LRUCache and TTLCache.

Ah, good to know, thanks. That's even better because it seems to be in pharo3. 

Regarding the TTLCache: If I want obsolete keys to vanish as early as possible the best way might be to have a thread that calls #removeStaleValues periodically, right?

Yes, that is correct. But I would not overdo it, there is a real cost to this operation (scanning everything). In general I think it is better to amortise the cost over multiple operations.

HTH,

Sven

I try to give Neo-Caching a shot in a project of mine. Neo-Caching does not have a metacello configuration. If I add the package via versionner the package is added but without repository information. That fails on loading?

How to do? Bug?
