I think the Metacello class is from the unreleased beta version. You can get it from here Http://www.github.com/dalehenrich/metacello-work I'm not sure if it'll solve your problem or not. On Nov 16, 2012, at 2:27 AM, CHRIS BAILEY <cpmbailey@btinternet.com> wrote:

But I don't have a Metacello class in my 1.4 Summer image. Do I need to get hold of this?

Hi,

I've just migrated to using FileTree with SVN and am wondering if it is possible to use it without the monticello.meta? You obviously get a lot of merge conflicts with these and the version file in particular, and I didn't really see much benefit when using SVN for commit comments and revision histories and so forth so have just been ignoring / deleting them. It seems to work ok for the most part and by loading packages with Gofer, but I feel like I'm fighting the system a bit and have not had much luck with Metacello in particular which I would like to get working again. Can anyone advise?

Thanks Chris

Why not just make SVN ignore those files?

Thanks Dale, I'll give the Baseline stuff a go. I've only been trying to use my old Configuration for it's dependency information and purely in a loadBleedingEdge capacity, as it's version capabilities are obviously redundant in this context. I'll try it with the meta back in there, but was having some issues with the version file and conflicts on each commit. Oh and just as an aside, it's worth pointing out that FileTree is only compatible with SVN 1.7 (all the meta contained at the top level) as I found when I tried it on a system with 1.6 installed :-)

Chris,

You have to have the meta data for things to work ...

Speaking of Metacello... since you are using SVN for managing our package source, it isn't really necessary to manage the classical ConfigurationOf (saving the mcz file versions for each commit to your SVN repo is redundant), so in the Metacello Preview I have introduced the notion of a BaselineOf where you only need to maintain the baseline information (no versions). The BaselineOf can be used interchangeably with the ConfigurationOf and is much less overhead to maintain ...

The Preview[1] is not in general release, but I use it on a daily basis for my work (I store my code on github) and would welcome feedback on your experience using the Preview ...

I think it is just because SVN 1.7 and git hold all of their meta information in the root directory whereas 1.6 holds it at every level of the directory tree. FileTree seems to simply replace a package directory whenever you commit so takes some of SVN's internals with it. I actually 'hacked' it by just saying don't delete any directories called .svn which seemed to work but have since just gone back to your version and made sure to use 1.7. I will let you know how I get on with the preview. Although I am managing to run things without the meta currently and just using Gofer to load. I had one dependency issue which I tried to resolve by going back to the Configuration but have got around it another way now.

Chris,

Yes, the Baseline just formalizes the bleedingEdge...

The meta data is just needed for now ... it does interfere when you are doing git/svn level merges, so I need to eventually get rid of it...

Not sure I understand the issue with SVN 1.6....is there a more specific problem?

Please look over the documentation for the Preview release and let me know where there are shortcomings and definitely let me know about odd behavior ... I'm not 100% comfortable with some of the behavior of the API so I'll be interested in your take...

Dale

I think all I did was to move the contents of recursiveDelete into MCFileTreeFileDirectoryUtils class>>deleteAll: and guard clause on directory names from an ignore list. This isn't really very satisfactory because 2.0 uses FileSystem and other Smalltalk dialects would presumably require the same treatment as well.

Chris,

Ah ... you were talking about the svn meta data:)

So yes, FileTree was nuking the whole directory structure (including svn meta data) ... yuk, that is a bug[1]:)

If you could submit a pull request with your patch for this, that'd be great!
