Andy,
The ultimate idea is that there would be a process to validate packages, hopefully an automated one, based on unit tests, lint rules, ? Right now, that is not the case. But I do agree that it makes a lot of sense to be able to load something with one click. What is missing is more meta data describing the package itself I guess.

Hi Sven, Thanks for the info. An automated approach sounds good. I also wonder whether it would be useful to have something like an 'I use this' button, which would allow community feedback on a package. This goes back to some of the ideas that Brad Cox had about software foundries, and getting a quality rating. Cheers Andy

Would be a bonus. For now I would like to have an automatic verification system at the configuration level. Stef
I think nobody answers the original question... a Configuration is "trusted", for the moment, when it is found in the repo associated to that pharo version (for example 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetaRepoForPharo14') instead than in another generic repo (for example 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository').
