So RPackage should not be managed with default.
I do not understand. The continuous integration server is there to check these issues.
the proof is that it did not work.
The correspondent would be to load now the
current baseline. If that breaks, it breaks and people look at it.
Moose is now developed on multiple fronts and serves multiple interests that are not
necessarily synchronized. So, we want to depend on latest things because this ensures
communication and puts more pressure on synchronizing issues. This is why we want to play
with the latest Pharo (hopefully, we will the development to it next week).
Every time we depend on something fixed, we introduce the difficulty of migrating to the
next version.
yes but this is the price to pay if you want a really robust package system.
I cannot work on a system where I cannot rollback and check a given version and I cannot
work with a system
where I can lose half of my work.
Sure. Just do not work with the baseline then. Although I am sure that when you are
developing RPackage, you do want to load the very latest versions of packages :)
Now for stable I'm not sure that I set it up well
so watch out.
The tests say that for the use of Moose, RPackage works Ok.
The problem is that the scenario of Moose is just to create Moose model and RPackage is
much more than that.
We found conceptual problem with announcement dependencies with benjamin and fix that.
Then for example, Rpackage was not in sync with
- the announcement changes because it was violating encapsulation (law of demeter bad
practice)
In addition there are multiple things that now I have to carefully check. Because MC is
not nice and we are replicating
this aspects and making rpackage brittle because MC is brittle.
I understood that. I was just saying that for Moose it looks like it is working. However,
we do not test to see what happens if something is loaded in the image after RPackage was
installed, so this is why we are probably missing the issue :(.
So sorry but I need to control the version I work with
and there is no way I will work on RPackage with default
(and yes this is a pain for me too to have to change all the time the configuration but
this is the only way).
I do not understand your line of reasoning. You do not have to work with default to
provide a default. If you want to work with a specific version, work with a specific
version. Default is nothing but a baseline. You did not remove the other baseline, but you
removed default.
In any case, my message came from the point of view of someone who integrates and it is
not related to default. I understand your needs but I wanted to point out the dangers that
come with removing a version.

Hi,
The Moose build broke because the 'default' version was removed from
ConfigurationOfRPackage.
I fixed it now by using #stable, but that is not the issue.
I understand the need for cleaning, but we should be aware that removing versions from
configurations can have far reaching ripple effects.
Cheers,
Doru
