Universes:
I have tweaked package Universes to accept a bracketed script in place of a url in the "download from" field. Universes already ignores anything beginning with $( as not being a url, so putting the script in brackets seemed reasonable to me.
download from: (Installer squeaksource project:'MagmaTester'; install: 'MagmaServerLoader-kph.25')
Using this scheme in conjunction with Installer, Universes can now manage dependencies between, and load squeakmap packages, or mantis fixes.
This also provides a work-around so that Universes can load monticello packages with dependencies. It also allows universes to access other non-url based resources such as magma/goods repositories.
I think that this could be very useful.
1) is it an acceptable idea? 2) Were can I contribute this change to?
best regards
Keith
