[Seaside-dev] Moving Seaside-REST from Addons to "Core" in 3.1

[Dale Henrichs]

Philippe,

My only comment is that packages should not be deleted from repositories. It wreaks havoc on the lives of each developer that has started using the package and embedded references to the package in their configurations. 

Build scripts break the minute you delete a package ... it's worse than when SqueakSource is down, because eventually SqueakSource comes back up:)

New versions of the packages can be stored in the new repository (updated versions of configurations can easily point to the new location), but please leave the old packages alone ...

| Hi
| 
| I want to move Seaside-REST from Addons to the "Core" repository in
| Seaside 3.1:
| 
| The reasons are the following:
|  - the code base has stabilized and has been jürgenized by Lukas
|  - we have documentation in the book [1]
|  - several people use it
| 
| I'm aware this will probably cause problems for some people but I
| don't think leaving it in addons or having it in both places are good
| alternatives either. Is this absolutely terrible or somebody (Dale?)?
| 
| Personally I think of the addons repository as something similar to
| Apache Incubator. A place where we can experiment. If things turn out
| well we can graduate them to the core repository.
