And yes, the integration does include all latest versions of GT-related packages. Before changing to development, we required a stable release for the integration. That implied: 1. creating a stable release and 2. integrating it in the Pharo through a separate issue. Yet, in GT we all work on the very latest version, and creating a "stable" release is somewhat artificial given the speed at which things are changing now. Creating the "stable" version also led to delays between a fix in GT and an integration in Pharo (sometimes measured in weeks). So, in the case of GT requiring the stable release did not provide any added value, but it has the negative consequence of delays. I am not satisfied with the way external packages are handled. > 1. if there is not one slice/changeset per issue, it is even less likely > someone will > review the changes. > 2. you don't know who works when on a issue.

Perhaps this is not enough? https://ci.inria.fr/moose/job/gtoolkitcore/ But, could the Monkey not be able to run all tests before an integration of the development version?
