Hi Tobias!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/12/9 Tobias Pape <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Das.Linux@gmx.de" target="_blank">Das.Linux@gmx.de</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
FWIW, The Metacello Config is meant to be Installable<br>
at any future point in time, your installer Doit + the<br>
two other doits may change. For example, if the developers<br>
of OCompletion just put another _non-working_ version<br>
into their repo, your doit will miraculously result in<br>
a non-working OCompletion, while a Metacello-installation<br>
would still work. Or consider a rename of the packages<br>
from Ocompletion to OCompletion.</blockquote><div><br>In general you may be right, that installing software via Metacello is more robust, but in the current situation (Metacello not being an integral part of Squeak) I just feel it is overkill for installing just one package. And after all: I see everything in the "Extending the system" workspace just as a suggestion on how to (quickly) get additional software into the image. You are always free to chose another way like using Metacello configs.<br>

can immediately be updated, while the 'Extending the System'-<br>
Workspace cannot as fast be updated.<br></blockquote><div><br>I guess that depends on the point of view. Every trunk developer can immediately change and update the workspace if there is a problem. The Metacello config can only be changed by the owners or developers of that repo. <br>

My rationale: Why shouldn't we use Metacello Configs if<br>
they are there and doing what we want: Installing the<br>
software.<br></blockquote><div><br>So why not use jumbo jets to visit your neighbors if they are there and doing what you want: Doing transportation ;)<br><br>Alex<br><br></div></div>
