Hi Laurent. Thank you very much for tacking care. Now I was thinking: the
ONLY way to correclty be able to reproduce a VM version we need not only the
VMMaker side but also SVN. If 6 months from today, I try to load version 1.4
with trunk, it won't work. I need to downloa an spceific SVN revision, as
you write it in the commit comment. However, I was thinking that it would be
great to put such information in the description: of Metacello. Not even the
version (as the repo can change) but also the whole command. Not necesary
while a verison is in #development but yes when it is realed. So, suppose I
release 1.4 I can write:

version14: spec
    <version: '1.4' imports: #('1.4-baseline') >

    spec for: #common do: [
        spec blessing: #development.
        spec description: '- Changed repository of TrueType
                               - etc.....
                                Works with svn co
http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/ -r 2203'.
        spec
            package: 'FFI-Pools' with: 'FFI-Pools-ar.1';
            package: 'SharedPool-Speech' with: 'SharedPool-Speech-dtl.2';
            package: 'VMMaker' with: 'VMMaker-dtl.170';
            package: 'MemoryAccess' with: 'MemoryAccess-dtl.3';
            package: 'SlangBrowser' with: 'SlangBrowser-dtl.3';
            package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin' with:
'VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin-mtf.21';
            package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-AioPlugin' with:
'VMConstruction-Plugins-AioPlugin-dtl.9';
            package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-XDisplayControlPlugin' with:
'VMConstruction-Plugins-XDisplayControlPlugin-dtl.7';
            package: 'Balloon3D-Constants' with:
'Balloon3D-Constants-ar.5';
            package: 'Balloon3D-Plugins' with: 'Balloon3D-Plugins-bf.5';

            package: 'Freetype-Plugin' with: 'Freetype-Plugin-dtl.56';
            package: 'FreeType' with: 'FreeType-tween.435'.
    ].

    spec for: #pharo do: [
        spec blessing: #development.
        spec
            package: 'Alien-VMMaker-Support' with:
'Alien-VMMaker-Support-John M McIntosh.8';
            package: 'Alien-VMMaker-Plugins' with:
'Alien-VMMaker-Plugins-John M McIntosh.8';
            package: 'Sound' with: 'Sound-StephaneDucasse.47'.
    ]



Of course, this is just an example...

what do you think ? I hope this will increase traceability between Smalltalk
code and svn.

Cheers

Mariano
