[Moose-dev] Re: PhaMoose and Moose-All dependencies in monticello

Hi, I am completely in favor of dealing with the packages. I just disagree a bit with the strategy :). I believe that a package that includes other packages does not really scale with the current tool support. Until the tool support is there, we are much better off with using just scripts that load all the needed parts. From another point of view, I know it is a bit difficult to always load the complete Moose but splitting the image will just lead to pains when it will come to reporting issues due to different configurations and due to the community being not so large at the moment. As I announced before I started to work on a Moose release. I am still waiting for people to join if they want :). This can be a starting point for people to build on. Ideally we could get one in about 2 weeks time. Not a perfect one, but a working one. And then we build on that. This release will always be loadable on a Pharo- Core with MooseLoader load. Of course, if people have very specific needs, we can provide scripts for that, but I would not want to have everyone use a different configuration. This will also put pressure on the main release to be small and not have redundancies. This process worked quite well in the VW version.
