I&#39;m asking again....then.....if I&#39;m a user of SqueakMap, all will continue working?<br><br>If I&#39;m a user of Universes, all will continue working?<br><br>If I don&#39;t have plans to use Sake/Install/etc.....can deatch of them?<br>
<br>If I&#39;m a Squeaker with not much time to be aware of all the news all the time, because must work on projects to pay the bills, I&#39;ve option of ignoring this several ways of installations and packages?<br><br>If I develop my own software in the form of traditional Monticello .mcz packages, I can continue at this way?<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
now that we have Installer, LPF, SqueakMap, Universes, DS, MC2, and Sake/Packages we have never had so many different solutions for packaging and loading our stuff.<br>
<br>
The packages list has been dormant for a long time now, so I am aiming to give it a fresh start.<br>
<br>
We shall begin by supporting the <a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/Packages" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.squeaksource.com/Packages</a> repository, and see how we get on. Commits will be automatically posted to the list from squeaksource (thanks matthew).<br>

<br>
Informal bug reports on any of the above items will also be welcome, though of course mantis is the preferred place for formal bug reporting.<br>
<br>
So.... What exactly are we aiming to achieve?<br>
<br>
GOALS<br>
======<br>
<br>
The first goal is to use Sake/Packages to create a definitive model of all squeak packages, which versions load into which images in what order, for both stable and unstable releases.<br>
<br>
So far we have separate packages with definitions for:<br>
<br>
PackagesSqueak310<br>
PackagesSqueak39<br>
PackagesSqueak38<br>
PackagesSqueak37<br>
PackagesSqueakMap (auto generated from SqueakMap itself)<br>
<br>
Other projects, croquet, sophie, etoys, and pharo are most welcome to have their own package in this repo, or elsewhere if preferred.<br>
<br>
General unstable/latest package definitions are placed higher in the class heirarchy, with more specific &quot;this definitely works&quot; definitions in leafier subclasses.<br>
<br>
To install sake/packges<br>
<br>
Installer install: &#39;Packages&#39;.<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
Installer install: &#39;PackagesAllVersions&#39;.<br>
<br>
Do subscribe to the <a href="mailto:packages@lists.squeakfoundation.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">packages@lists.squeakfoundation.org</a> to give feedback on what does and does not work correctly. If you are a Universes user and have noticed any problems with Universes, then we can absorb that knowledge into the model, and poke universes maintainers to pick up the new data.<br>

<br>
many thanks in advance<br><span class="sg">

p.s. if you are on the pacakges list and this new flurry of activity makes you nervous please feel free to complain.<br>
p.p.s. emails sent to the list by non-subscribers should get through eventually, if you just want to report a problem but not discuss it further.<br>
