Hi,
i cannot find anymore OPAX under XML-Parser. After the long discussion about the future of
OPAX i guess that at the end OPAX has been move, but where? I cannot see any package
related to OPAX into the XML-Support repo. Where i can find the last version of the OPAX
packages that have been moved from XML-Parser?
Cheers,
Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio. I sent a mail to Tudo a few days ago outlining my intentions but have not
heard back. I suppose I should have contacted you too, as you are also a maintainer of
Opax.
The plan was to move Opax and other non-essential components out of XML-Support so we can
have a lean core into which add-ons can be optionally loaded and without which the useful,
standalone components can be used. The XML-Writer classes are now a separate package
(XML-Writer) residing in a separate repository and can be used without XML-Parser. The
same is true of two collection classes used by XML-Parser and XML-Writer. The XML-Parser
tests are in a separate package, but still reside in the same repository.
Opax was extracted into two packages, one for the core and another for the tests, and a
Metacello ConfigurationOfOpax was created for it. I attached all three packages and mailed
them to Tudor. I will forward the email to you.
Opax should live at http://www.squeaksource.com/OPAX. The Metacello
ConfigurationOfXMLSupport package has already (since v.36) been told to look there for it.
To load in Opax through XML-Support, you will (once the extracted packages and
configuration are uploaded to the Opax repository) just need to evaluate
ConfigurationOfXMLSupport lastVersion load: 'Opax'. I plan on also creating an
"AddOns" package group that will load Pastell, Opax and other additions
automatically.
