I would prefer to upload a MetacelloConfiguration (or something similar)
instead of an image.
I like to think about the image as a temporary runtime. Not something
where I store code or someting I deploy. I would love to have something
like:
$ pharo -v 1.4-summer myProject.ston
where myProject.ston would contain all the necessary information to load
my project (dependencies, repositories, etc). This command would create
an image with my project on the fly from a stock Pharo 1.4-summer and
launch it. It would recreate the image everytime I want to work on my
project (or when it is deployed).
The problem right now is the loading time for dependencies (try to load
seaside in a pristine image, you'll get the point). All the other bricks
are there.>>>
Sounds like a very good idea. Does anything like that exist already?
Also, it raises the question of what should be in the base image.
I'm not aware of any.
Tanker[1] + Metacello are maybe an answer for the loading time issue.
