Hi,
I've read that some of you are installing their own set of packages on
top of Pharo-Core and not using Pharo. Why is that so? What don't you
like in Pharo? Why didn't you tell us before?
My image was always built from PharoCore. It was done this way before
PharoDev existed, and I saw no reason to change.
I thought people were supposed to build their own image (tailored to
their needs). IIRC, PharoDev was initially provided as a convenience for
those that wanted such an artifact.
The concept of PharoDev evolved - I recall discussion about the
"branding" of PharoDev as Pharo, and relegating PharoCore to the role of
build process artifact. The discussion did not raise any flags for me,
until now, when the discussion has turned to "eliminating" PharoCore.
I've never mentioned this before because I never thought I was doing
anything wrong by building my own image from PharoCore.
