[Pharo-project] [Seaside] Re: [Metacello] What is the plan with Pharo changes?

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hi all. I am answering to all together:

Stef: Yes, I imported and loaded the Pier of DBX website in Pharo 2.0 with
seaside and magritte. With 5 minutes of opening debuggers and change things
I was able to correctly make it work (at least, my app, I didn't run all
tests to see).

Dale: We don't want to just help you with "hacks", that why I send this
email and several others, to see what others think so that can find better
and non-hacky solutions. So, let's try to find good solutions:

1) does it help if we put back FildeDirectory and we remove it later ? so
that you have time to update Metacello and that we can still use Metacello
:)
2) for the SystemChangeNotifier does it make sense to delegate to the
closures?  [ xx ] valueWithoutSystemNotifications.  Or we add a
#doSilently: and we add  a MetacelloPharo20Platform that overrides the
behavior.
3) as Janko said, what about improving/using Grease/Sport for this purpose?
do they provide something for this? could this be added?
4) Should we integrate Metacello in the image with our changes until you
have time and find a good solution that works everywhere? Maybe if we do 1)
it is not very necessary.

Thanks for considering this a friendly and positive thread.
