Yes, having packages as "artifacts" is more straightforward than the configurations and all that jazz. The MetaRepo is going in that direction, but I still think that evaluating the install statements with Gofer or anything similar in a Workspace is somehow alien for a non smalltalker. There should be something that wraps Gofer and works like the apt, npm or gem commands. > So there is a lot of work ahead… but we will get there. No doubts of that. Regards!
