Yes, I agree, but I will install the very same versions that you're
using, not the last version that exists in the repository. That is a
feature of Metacello, specify version numbers.

Of course it could happen that the original repository deletes the
version used and that breaks the installation and in this scenario, it
is wise to use the versions copied to the Magma repository.

So, I can use the same versions from the original repositories or from
the Magma repository, you tell me what do you prefer? Personally I
prefer to use the original repository as is cleaner. Also I would like
to add individual metacello configuration for WriteBarrier (that takes
care of its own dependencies, i.e. NewCompiler) and have the Magma
configuration use the WriteBarrier configuration. This way Magma doesn't
even have to know about the dependencies of WriteBarrier but only about
its own dependencies.
