Mariano, What I'd _like_ to do for Metacello and Pharo-2.0 is to make the changes against the MetacelloPreview release, which I'm managing on github.
The MetacelloPreview is aimed at an eventual 1.0 release of Metacello (hopefully in the fall). I would _like_ Metacello-Base to be included in the Pharo-2.0 base image, the sooner the better and I'm poised to pull the trigger on that, but the recent changes have crippled FileTree ... So until FileTree is functional again, I can't really do anything with Pharo-2.0... Hacking Metacello to get it running on Pharo-2.0 doesn't help _me_ move forward. It is likely that I will have to redo whatever hacks that are done to get it running on Pharo-2.0 to be compatible with the rest of platforms that I am supporting and doing it right takes a little more effort ... So if you are just going to hack around to get things running on Pharo-2.0 I guess I would have to say that I don't care what you do, because the hacks don't make my job any easier.

PLEASE: I DON'T WANT TO START A WAR. | I am just concerned about Pharo and it's future. I am totally in | favor of making progress even if it breaks compatibility. I am all | in favor of having to spend time and effort in updating projects to | use latest Pharo changes. | Today I faced a couple of problems with Metacello and Pier. Most | problems were related to: | 1) SystemChangeNotifier -> SystemAnnouncer | 2) FileDirectory -> FileSystem | | | so...after a couple of fixes, I was able to make them both to work in | last Pharo version. So, DO NOT GO OFFTOPIC please. | My question is, how can we make sure that we are not all trying to | updated existing packages? I mean, I have updated Metacello (a part | of it) and Pier. So what do we do? where do I commit without | affecting all those not using Pharo 2.0 ? how can others take | advantage of it? | | | thanks guys. | | | -- | Mariano | http://marianopeck.wordpress.com | |
