You are aware that those kind of questions are the challenging ones in the programming profession? ;-P Here we go:

1) Not yet. ProgressNotification is still in "Collections" package. And there are more than 20 senders of  #do:displayingProgress: whose dependecy to then "Tools" should be checked, too.

2) Yes, please.

3) If you have no theory at all, leave it be. Gather more insight to make an informed decision. Avoid pure guessing.

4) Maybe later. It seems that Decompiler and DebuggerMethodMap are close friends. Let Eliot decide this but it looks okay to me to move the DebuggerMethodMap hierarchy from "Tools" to "Compiler-Support". HOWEVER, watch out for dependencies to "Chronology", which "Compiler" has not at the moment. Or maybe Decompiler should move into a new "CompilerTools"? :-D This one is tricky. Maybe leave it be for the moment and allow it.

5) Yes. "TextStyle defaultFont" is a common expression that can be used in "Tools" and "System" and "Morphic" etc.

Hi all! Just a few quick questions while trying to fix the PackageDependencyTest again ...

1.) Is it okay to move Collection>>#do:displayingProgress:every: into an extension category of the package *toolbuilder-kernel, just like we're doing for String>>#displayProgressFrom:to:during: already?
2.) Can I move String >> #asTime[Stamp] into an extension category for the package *Chronology-Core?
3.) I cannot make any sense of WideString class>>#fromISO2022JPString:. What is this for and do we really need it - it has zero senders?
4.) Compiler now depends on Tools because the Decompiler uses DebuggerMethodMap. I suggest moving DebuggerMethodMap into Compiler-Kernel, wdyt?
5.) ToolBuilder-Kernel now depends on Graphics for accessing TextStyle defaultFont in PluggableSpacerSpec>>#extent - shall I allow this dependency in the package dependency test?

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Christoph
