[Seaside-dev] Metacello config for Seaside 3.0

[Dale Henrichs]

Both Metacello and SeasideConfiguration have been ported to Squeak (based on Squeak3..10.10.2-Trunk-090912 with OB loaded). 

Version 1.0-beta.2 of Metacello runs on both Squeak and Pharo.

Load Seaside-Metacello-Configuration-dkh.13 and follow the instuctions below.

| Metacello sports a brand spanking new API that takes inspiration from
| Flair and constructive criticism from Doru:) In fact, the new API was
| driven by some of the awkwardness in the old API when configuring
| Seaside3.0.
| 
| To take the loader for a spin, load
| Seaside-Metacello-Configuration-dkh.11 from
| http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/Seaside30. Once loaded, you can get
| started by trying the helper methods:
| 
|   SeasideConfiguration loadLatestPackages.
| 
|   SeasideConfiguration loadLatestVersion
|   SeasideConfiguration loadLatestVersion: { <list of package names> }
| 
| #loadLatestPackages loads the latest version of each Seaside package.
| 
| #loadLatestVersion loads all of the packages associated with the
| 3.0.0-alpha5 release.
| 
| If you are interested in loading just a subset of the Seaside
| packages, you can use #loadLatestVersion: and pass in a list of
| packages like the following:
| 
|   SeasideConfiguration loadLatestVersion: 
|     { 'Environment'. 'Flow'. 'Functional Tests'. 'Comanche'. }.
| 
| This is the set of packages I loaded to discover issue 484. In the
| above example I am using group names, but specific package names can
| be used as well - all of the dependents for that package are loaded.
| 
| Metacello 1.0-beta.1 has only been tested on Pharo and uses the latest
| version of Gofer. My next task will be to get Metacello 1.0-beta
| running on Squeak and when I do I will make sure that Seaside loads on
| Squeak as well. The challenge will be with Gofer, since I've had
| Metacello running on Squeak in the past:) 
| 
| After the Squeak port, I will port Gofer and Metacello to GemStone and
| resume the Seaside3.0 GemStone port.
| 
| I will be working on a tutorial for the new Metacello API over the
| next several weeks and until then you can look at
| MetacelloReferenceConfig which lists the full API for Metacello
| configurations.
