[Moose-dev] Re: Importing from a metacello configuration

Hi! With Santiago we are trying to import different versions of a configuration in Moose. The following script does a relatively good job. Some of you may be interested in it. Note that it is specialized for Mondrian, but can be easily adapted for other projects. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | mooseModel packages task | #('2.10' '2.13' '2.100') do: [:version | | project | project := (ConfigurationOfMondrian project version: version). [ project load. "This is necessary by Moose to properly import" Gofer new url: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/CollectionExtensions'; version: 'CollectionExtensions-TudorGirba.29'; load. packages := (project packages collect: #name) select: [:p | p beginsWith: 'Mondrian']. mooseModel := MooseModel new. task := MooseSqueakClassCategoryImporterTask new. task importerClass: SmalltalkImporter. task importingContext mergeClassAndMetaclass. task model: mooseModel. task runCandidateOperator. task addFromPackagesNamed: packages. task runWithProgress. mooseModel name: 'Mondrian ', version. mooseModel install. ] on: Error do: [ :ex | Transcript show: 'cannot load version ', version, ' ', ex printString. ]. ] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This way of importing is however not perfect. It installs the software, which is not necessary in principle and can be a showstopper. But at least, it gives some result. Shall I put this script in MooseScripts? If would be cool to have more users of Versionner/MonticelloBrowser, small tools I made to automatically save your packages and give a new version number. Versionner has a commit button, a bit like in SVN. This give some food for evolution analysis. Currently, we cannot really go that far since we do not have explicit versions of what we are building!
