[Moose-dev] Re: To be able to work without GT-Playground

This is plain wrong. Load a package when you need it. I would unload Hismo, FAMIX-C, and keep the minimum and not a kitchen sink. Else you should load also JSON and many others. Even the moose Algos should be loaded on demand. You are not lucid on the problem. You are like these old smalltalkers that do not understand anything to modularity. We can have a small moose image where we test that a given list of EXTERNAL packages loads correctly and run well the tests but are not shipped by default but loadable in one click. You confuse the system and its cache. Repeat after me: an image is a cache. Why there is not a metacello browser just for loading moose certified packages? Because this is the way to go for Pharo and also for Moose. Moose is becoming untractable. I spent the day trying to find why we cannot snapshot a version of each package and it I do not find how to make it work with MC. I will go back to my ugly solution (but this is raging because snapshotcello was an important element) to me it should be part of metacello. But metacello is probably far too complex too. Stef
