That was me :) I was thinking more broadly that over time the "repository" might hold different packages Compatibility-ANSI, Compatibility-VW, Compatibility-Dolphin. But maybe that is overreaching and its better to be more focussed. Let me know what you think on this and restate what you think the repository name should be. > Also see http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2384 and > http://map.squeak.org/package/d7011055-4446-4b8e-b6da-e7e32d3389ec > which could be a start. I saw those, but they interact with existing classes, so I thought it easier to kickstart by loading in the tests first, which are all new classes. I only created the repository since the tests were *hard* to find eventually at http://www.spacmunke.org/svn/jst/trunk/src/test/ansi/ansi-compatibility/ So I thought it would be good make them more accessible as a Monticello Package. cheers -ben P.S. I don't quite follow "to SmalltalkCompatibility to ANSICompatibility" do you mean "to SmalltalkCompatibility or ANSICompatibility" ? > >> Gesendet: Dienstag, 08.
