Actually, RoleTyper seems to be a requirement of
OCompletion.
FWIW, The Metacello Config is meant to be Installable
at any future point in time, your installer Doit + the
two other doits may change. For example, if the developers
of OCompletion just put another _non-working_ version
into their repo, your doit will miraculously result in
a non-working OCompletion, while a Metacello-installation
would still work. Or consider a rename of the packages
from Ocompletion to OCompletion. The metacello-config
can immediately be updated, while the 'Extending the System'-
Workspace cannot as fast be updated.
My rationale: Why shouldn't we use Metacello Configs if
they are there and doing what we want: Installing the
software.
So Long,
