I know your goals, but the question still holds: How do you envision that a user of your system can port her codebase over to the next Pharo version, without going through manual costly painful hours of figuring out what changed and why it changed. I know you want a better system, that's cool. But I just want a tool that works. If it gets cooler with every iteration, nice. If there is a tool which allows me to do the transition from one version to another semi-automated, even better. Otherwise, I will probably stick with an old version until the pain of staying with the old system is bigger than the migration pain. I am sure you heard all that before. Thus, my question: Can you envision a tool that allows me to keep up with you guys? Thanks Stefan > > Marcus > > -- > Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de > INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe.
