[SqueakDBX] Re: [Pharo-project] [ANN] New Glorp Port

[Alan Knight]

Thanks.

I got Michael to import this into the public Store. That's an 
interesting exercise, because in current versions, Store uses Glorp, so 
loading a different version of Glorp and trying to publish it is 
interesting. Even in a different namespace the class extensions of base 
classes collide. But it got imported. I'd like to be able to compare 
this to the current Glorp versions and bring back portability fixes into 
the main branch. One issue is that this comes as one package, GlorpDBX, 
so the package structure of the original is lost. That can probably be 
worked around, but it's a bit of work.

Also, when you say "from VW 7.7.1" can I assume that means you started 
from the version of Glorp distributed with VW 7.7.1, which would be 
'7.7.1 - 19'?
