I don't understand how this jives with Metacello. If I depend on a Metacello configuration then I inherit the repository dependencies of that configuration -- unless I maintain my own copy of the configuration and the packages it references. > As far as I am concerned, it is a cardinal sin to remove packages from a > public repository ... I agree. I assume the reason for removing the package was to eliminate confusion caused when the latest version of the package is loaded, but doesn't work, because none of the code should be there. Another approach might have been to delete all the classes/methods from the package, and submit it as the latest version. Though I'm not sure Monticello would accept an "empty" package. > We'll have to mark the earlier versions of FFI as broken in the Metacello > config unless we can recover the older files... I probably can find an old version in a package-cache, but the repository for FFI is on http://source.squeakfoundation.org, which seems to be the active code base for Squeak (correct me if I'm wrong). -- Yanni _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
