But the question is still good. We had a good (but short) thread on squeak-dev about sharing fixes between forks but without a real outcome. I would like to see a matrix where every acknowledged fix will be put in and every fork can have a look at and decide to integrate or not.

If I think once more about it I would create a new issues type mantis. This way we would have a change to find mantis fixes afterwards. As long as there isn't a good solution it is useful to find everything which is already included. I would propose that an issue from mantis is an issue with type "mantis" and status "fixed". That would fit into our "to be created" workflow. Using the mantis ticket number in the issue title will give all information that is needed. > I ask because Pharo is currently, de facto, the only work being > done on Squeak core, and I don't see a good reason to really > push a separate effort and call it 3.11. > I don't think that pharo is able to find a broader base on squeak-dev. It is good to have it separate. As soon as etoys is out this definite ;) For me it is just a question how we deal with the other way: bringing fixes from pharo back to squeak. I hope it is enough if squeak releasers scan the pharo issue tracker. > So, how are you using squeak mantis in Pharo? > We don't use mantis we just point to it.
