[Squeakfoundation] SmaCC-Development (was: Allow MIT-licensed code to be partof"SqueakOfficial"?)

[Doug Way]

This could go either way.  The ability to change the old compiler was 
built-in to the Basic release before, so perhaps SmaCC-Development 
should be part of the Basic release.  On the other hand, it is easily 
available from SqueakMap, and relatively few developers will want the 
convenience of having it built in to Basic.

I think it probably should be part of Basic (eventually), but until we 
have SM 2.1 with configurations and have the Basic image split up into 
packages/modules, it's probably more trouble than it's worth to include 
it.  (It would need to be another in-image package.)
