I'm asking again....then.....if I'm a user of SqueakMap, all will continue working?<br><br>If I'm a user of Universes, all will continue working?<br><br>If I don't have plans to use Sake/Install/etc.....can deatch of them?<br>
<br>If I'm a Squeaker with not much time to be aware of all the news all the time, because must work on projects to pay the bills, I've option of ignoring this several ways of installations and packages?<br><br>If I develop my own software in the form of traditional Monticello .mcz packages, I can continue at this way?<br>
<br>Sorry if a lot of questions, but I'm a bit confused with all these new things related to packages.<br><br>Cheers.<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">2008/5/15, Keith Hodges <<a href="mailto:keith_hodges@yahoo.co.uk">keith_hodges@yahoo.co.uk</a>>:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Dear All,<br>
<br>
now that we have Installer, LPF, SqueakMap, Universes, DS, MC2, and Sake/Packages we have never had so many different solutions for packaging and loading our stuff.<br>
<br>
The packages list has been dormant for a long time now, so I am aiming to give it a fresh start.<br>
<br>
We shall begin by supporting the <a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/Packages" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.squeaksource.com/Packages</a> repository, and see how we get on. Commits will be automatically posted to the list from squeaksource (thanks matthew).<br>
<br>
Informal bug reports on any of the above items will also be welcome, though of course mantis is the preferred place for formal bug reporting.<br>
<br>
So.... What exactly are we aiming to achieve?<br>
<br>
GOALS<br>
======<br>
<br>
The first goal is to use Sake/Packages to create a definitive model of all squeak packages, which versions load into which images in what order, for both stable and unstable releases.<br>
<br>
So far we have separate packages with definitions for:<br>
<br>
PackagesSqueak310<br>
PackagesSqueak39<br>
PackagesSqueak38<br>
PackagesSqueak37<br>
PackagesSqueakMap (auto generated from SqueakMap itself)<br>
<br>
Other projects, croquet, sophie, etoys, and pharo are most welcome to have their own package in this repo, or elsewhere if preferred.<br>
<br>
General unstable/latest package definitions are placed higher in the class heirarchy, with more specific "this definitely works" definitions in leafier subclasses.<br>
<br>
To install sake/packges<br>
<br>
Installer install: 'Packages'.<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
Installer install: 'PackagesAllVersions'.<br>
<br>
Do subscribe to the <a href="mailto:packages@lists.squeakfoundation.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">packages@lists.squeakfoundation.org</a> to give feedback on what does and does not work correctly. If you are a Universes user and have noticed any problems with Universes, then we can absorb that knowledge into the model, and poke universes maintainers to pick up the new data.<br>
<br>
many thanks in advance<br><span class="sg">

p.s. if you are on the pacakges list and this new flurry of activity makes you nervous please feel free to complain.<br>
p.p.s. emails sent to the list by non-subscribers should get through eventually, if you just want to report a problem but not discuss it further.<br>
