Hi Mark,
I guess 'Volkmann' is the original package name, right? Then 'Volkmann-Morphic' or 'Volkmann-Quinto' etc. are actually originally not packages, but just class categories. This is how Monticello works: You define 'Volkmann' as the package name and everything separated by a '-' is then a class category contained in this package. If you now create explicitly a new package called 'Volkmann-Morphic' you get once this new package and once the class-category stored in 'Volkmann'. Both contain the same classes, because there is no first-class representation of packages in Squeak, everything is relying on string. For Squeak itself there are only class categories, Monticello bundles class categories with the same systemCategoryPrefix (here 'Volkmann') together to packages, but if there is once a package and a class cat with the same name, Squeak cannot distinguish them.
Cheers, David
I wrote some code on a Windows machine and wanted to use it on my Mac. Here's what I did to copy it over.
- On the Windows machine I created a new Monticello package containing
the code. 2) On the Mac machine I loaded that package.
In my browser I see two entries for the package which I named "Volkmann-Morphic". Here's a screenshot of part of the category pane.
Any idea why it did this? They both contain the same code. If I delete one, they both go away.
