We need a core loader | utility to "bootstrap" the Core image back up to a full trunk | development image. The Core should be small and devoid of as many | tools domains as possible. | | For several projects (see #fuel), Metacello will be one of the very | first packages loaded and used to finish configuration. | | We need a structure for installing #metacello too. A clean bootstrapping scheme is definitely required ... My main point was that Metacello is more than a cross-platform tool. | | > What happens to the literal array that is baked into your image, | > when the formula for one of the components you are using changes | > the day after you ship the image? | | The release image will include two fixed-configuration structures, | one | for Metacello and one for SqueakMap. That will ensure the | configurator can arrive at a platform baseline from which any other | Metacello-based or SM package can be installed. That sounds good ... I do look forward to the day when Metacello no longer has to boot itself on demand:) | | > Metacello was invented to address this problem as well:) | | Now, we _could_ actually include fixed-configuration (where the | version #'s are specified) for other packages specified by these | literal-arrays if we want. But for now I want this to simply help | manage the on-going trunk modularization effort with Frank. IOW, I | want to add scripts for the *internal* packages so that the | dependency | hierarchy of Core packages ends up tersely codified in the image and | easily reinstalled back to full trunk using clean, minimal code. Yes there are trade-offs to be made. If you bootstrap Metacello and/or SqueakMap then you could use Metacello and/or Squeakmap to load the rest of the packages beyond the minimal core and make it possible for folks to completely customize their image, if they desire to do so. But then you will "always have Metacello and/or SqueakMap loaded" in any version of the image beyond the minimal. If having Metacello and/or SqueakMap always "loaded" is not desirable, then the bootstrapper _can_ be used to bootstrap sets of packages beyond Metacello and/or SqueakMap. | | | > | > Dale | > | > ----- Original Message ----- | > | From: "Frank Shearar" <frank.shearar at gmail.com> | > | To: "Chris Muller" <ma.chris.m at gmail.com>, "The general-purpose | > | Squeak developers list" | > | <squeak-dev at lists.squeakfoundation.org> | > | Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2013 9:08:16 AM | > | Subject: Re: [squeak-dev] The Trunk: Installer-Core-cmm.377.mcz | > | | > | Specifically, these are recipes for building up a fatter Squeak | > | from | > | a | > | leaner one, so we don't have to worry about cross-platform | > | issues. | > | It's exactly those kinds of issues that cause people to invent | > | things | > | like Metacello. | > | | > | frank | > | | > | On 9 August 2013 23:30, Chris Muller <asqueaker at gmail.com> wrote: | > | > As Frank works toward a smaller image where packages have been | > | > unloaded, I want to establish the hierarchies for reloading | > | > them | > | > directly into the image.
