It was in response to Ben's question: "is Versioneer Slice based or Configuration based?". We have two kinds of external projects in Pharo: - Traditional model: projects that, while technically external, have been adopted (cough... forked) by Pharo core so that we were free to evolve. This seemed to be the only way before we had really good tools because trying to keep everything in sync required massive effort. These can be considered core packages and are committed via the slice process. The projects are sometimes synced with the main project at irregular intervals. - Shiny new model: we have been starting to experiment with keeping projects (e.g. Rubric, TxText) in their own repos and loading improvements via Metacello configurations. While historically this was impractical, now fogbugz issues can specify configurations and their versions to be picked up by CI, and Esteban has just made a tool [1] to create those versions easily (i.e. almost automatically). Writing this, it seems a bit complicated, but actually it seems we are moving toward a very streamlined place. It's just that this moment is the transition.
