Sorry, too many counter-examples. The situation has improved with time, but overall, it's a complicated mess with instructions that change almost weekly. Just being honest.

Wat? Probably there was a misunderstood... 1) if you are an user of the project, stable should be enough and fine. 2) if your project is coupled to the project, probably you are coupled to an specific version. Thus, in your configuration you better put the specific number :). 3) if your project is not coupled to the project, just inteded to load it, using stable should be enough and fine. Example of 2) is you loading OmniBrowser or Nautilus. Example of 3) is your project using a specific version of XmlSupport or seaside. Example of 4) is the ImageBuilder of Mariano, which loads a lot of stuff to build a Development image.

Prove me wrong :) seems like you missed something (Metacello Configurations)? it's done like this in st-code: ConfigurationOfXYZ project load: #stable > ________________________________________ > From: > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > > [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] > on behalf of Stéphane Ducasse > [[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] > Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 6:17 PM > To: > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] What about making the configuration browser > more visible? > > Ok for me. > Package Maps Loader > > Stef > >> What about naming it "Package Loader" or "Package center" or something like >> that? >> And putting it in the main menu instead of inside of Tools? >> >> I want people who open pharo for the first time to say "Hey, here I can >> download stuff!!!" >> >> Guille
