The 'mc history' and 'mc origin' functions have been extended to ALL
projects hosted by source.squeak.org. It's currently handled via
box4.squeak.org:8888. So, for example, to enable mc history for VM
Maker, simply add this repository to that package:
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://box4.squeak.org:8888/VMMaker'
user: ''
password: ''
This is a warm backup of source.squeak.org whose backend is hosted
entirely by a Magma database. This Magma version consumes only 1.4GB
of disk (vs. 7.1GB by the filesystem-based source.squeak.org). And
because it accesses simply a pure object model, additional "features"
would be trivial to add. For example, 'mc senders' and/or 'mc
implementors' might be useful someday..
I've been the mc history functions for my own projects for several
years. It's been useful for interrogating _why_ a method
implementation is what it is, and properly recovering an older
version, if necessary. I hope it will be useful for you, too.
