I notice that it is possible to define prerequisites between packages
using Metacello. However, I have not found a way to specify
prerequisites directly in packages themselves.

Is it correct that there is no mechanism available for defining
prerequisites on Pharo packages?

Are there any projects that will try to address the lack of
prerequisite information on packages? Will for example “Ring” include
this?

I have made a tool for visualizing dependencies between VisualWorks
packages. In VisualWorks the prerequisite information is found
directly at instances of classes representing package versions
(PackageModel). The tool mixes visualization of the defined/specified
prerequisites and computed/calculated prerequisites. I think I once
read about a tool for Pharo to compute/calculate prerequisites. Does
anyone know which tool this is?

Information about my VisualWorks dependency tools can be found here:

I am using Pharo 1.4 together with the Nautilus browser.

Kind regards
