Lukas, You are correct to question "what is Pharo?" We cannot hope to ensure that everything anyone ever does with Pharo will work - those kinds of promises are made only during political campaigns :) But, note the recent discussion of package integrity. It should be as easy as possible to install anything one wants, but the things that Pharo invites the user to install should be solid. Certainly, the development tools should fall into that category.
For example, I have a love/hate relationship with the RB, but I certainly hope to see it integrated into Pharo. But given a choice between a polished presentation of the RB commands and a stable system, I'll go for the stable system. We should have both. Bill Wilhelm K.

I don't know which is the official Pharo image? There is a plain one without any extras loaded that the Pharo team uses for their releases, and then there is one with additional tools loaded by Damien that also contains OB-Tools. > Do as you want, but > Object Arts had this idea and very quickly decided the simpler notifier > had a very essential role.

Don't get me wrong. Feel free to add this preference and the additional dialog, but don't expect me to do it: http://mail.wiresong.ca/pipermail/ob-dev/2008-August/000580.html Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
