Hi All,

I've been invited to participate in github's Bera test of their new

package management support. I don't know much, if anything, about the software except that it supports RubyGems (Ruby), Maven (Java) and npm (JavaScript) formats. My contact at github has asked me to supply a list of email addresses of those who would like to test the software. The contact will provide documentation.

If you would like to participate please reply to me using this same subject line and including in the body of the message the email you'd like used. Please do top post.

Maybe we could get github to directly support Monticello. Maybe this

could achieve some simplifications and ease some tensions. I don't know. But I'm intrigued.

Package management is not the same as version control ... MC is version control, whereas we use config maps / SqueakMap / Metacello for package management. ​Sounds more like when you do a release​ on github, they would automatically push a release to the npm and gems database.

Jakob (cc'ed) is working on full MC/git/github integration for Squeak, so he may be interested, but I'd think we should get the basics covered before getting github to do something specific for us. We don't know what we would need, yet.

Thats very interesting to hear. Do you know if the will follow Pharo's Iceberg model, or Cuis' git interface (which I'm not familiar with) or something else?

cheers -ben

P.S. I'm not sure if I should have seen the CC to Jakob in my mail headers?

I think that the Cargo is the Pharo effort for package management. I've forwarded Eliot's mail to Christophe ...
