To be honest, I think it doesn't make too much sense, but it is very
easy to support. Currently the update button in trunk is hooked up via:
MCMCMUpdater updateFromRepositories: #(
'http://source.squeak.org/trunk'
).
There are two trivial ways to extend this. First is provide a list of
repositories that you'd like to update from:
MCMCMUpdater updateFromRepositories: #(
'http://source.squeak.org/Squeak311' "fixes released for 3.11"
'http://squeaksource.com/Seaside29' "current Seaside 2.9 updates"
'http://squeaksource.com/MyStuff' "and whatever else"
).
Second, we could mark repositories directly in MC (i.e., "include in
updates") and/or offer a menu option that just says "update from
repository".
Cheers,
