Hi,
as already discussed it would be good to have the packages in Alien more
modular
(separate the tests, separate platform dependent part from core
functionality).
Also this would allow to use Alien core functionality in more minimal
Smalltalk images
where there is no SUnit or windows support needed or wanted.
The issue was already discussed in January and thankfully Eliot as the
engineer behind Alien
gave his OK with the request that the repo is kept and version stamps
are preserved.
I now was able to devote some minutes to this task.
Thanks Torsten! I wonder if there's a useful way of marking the transition, such as committing a version of Alien with an author stamp such as PackageDecomposed...
Maybe commit another Alien package with no code in it all all (all items
removed), with a pre-script that explicitly loads the other packages first? Except the other ones are also linked under Alien. Hmm. -cbc <snip>
