I am by no means a version-integration expert, but Colin Putney gave a nice
presentation on Monticello 2 at Smalltalk Solutions. I believe his words
were something like, "If you take one thing away from this presentation,
remember that the success of a packaging system is based on how well it can
MERGE." (Complete with a big, yellow, traffic merge sign).
Unfortunately, his slides are not yet available at:
http://www.stic.st/stic?content=sts08Detail#june21Detail
However, he demonstrated some of the abilities of Monticello 2 based on
what he called a "much simpler" merging (versioning?) methodology.
I'm sure I messed something up in translation, but what he said made sense
to me and might be worth bringing into the discussion if possible.
