Thank you, Damien, for your hint. But I prefer loading only a few packages through the package Universe.
When you do that, you use the main part of my work, i.e., maintaining the Universe :-).
DEVELOPER IMAGES You load quite a number of packages into the dev images as you write in http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-September/131354... (list of installed packages in the dev images)
But you write that you do not run the tests in the images http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-September/131371...
Because Laurent Laffont does this for me :-) (thank you Laurent).
I appreciate the work you are doing (keeping track of interesting packages to load, know where to get them from, communicate with package developers) but the work is not complete. My understanding of a distribution is that the burden of the _tests_ is not put onto the consumer.
I agree, it should be put on the Squeak release team and I guess they agree. I can't fix Squeak. The dev images are not a fork, it's only packages put into a base image.
However what I am interested in are the "loading scripts" to avoid having to click around in the UniverseBrowser. This means having a kind of loading script I can adapt to my needs.
I attached the script to this email. This script uses Universe to load the different things including the package ImageForDevelopers comming from SqueakSource. This package configure the image (documentation, omnibrowser by default, clean tools flap, icon...). If you need more info please tell me.
