Stef,

I am not sure I know enough to have an opinion.  You mentioned slices before in 
response to my concerns over saving individual packages.  If that is a fix, 
great.  I have been taking a different approach, along the lines of Migrate, 
which I wrote for Dolphin.  It is different for Pharo, and (so far anyway) not 
as slick, but some of the features that made sense in Dolphin might not be 
needed in Pharo.

The essential features include:

(1) search for code that I wrote and is not yet in one of my packages (meaning 
it is at risk of being lost in a move)

(2) allow a "global save" of all packages of interest - this is the newest 
feature, and I *think* it works

(3) load the saved packages into a new image; the loader is installed first and 
then launched to search for what it needs (it complains early when possible) 
and then loads the packages.

There MUST be a better way :)  I had to do something, because chasing after 
lost work was driving me nuts.

Bill

Hi guys

I would like to generalise the slice ideas so that even if you publish a single 
package change you use a slice because I'm spending time to look for these 
simples changes in single packages.
What do you think?

Stef
