Dear All, I have long been frustrated that there is no place in squeaksource for documenting what is in a repository, and offering feedback as to what works where. We have several solutions on a macro-universal-scale, namely, universes, squeakmap, and sake/packages. I have started to use Sake/Packages as a kind of micro "universe" for my Seaside "Client" UI & Backend Component Framework. Having seen how useful this is I thought that this might be useful for pier, and of course seaside and other projects. For an example of this, have a look at squeaksource/Jetsam at the project Client-Packages In www.squeaksource.com/Jetsam there is a package Client-Packages. For pier you would have a package in source.renggli.ch/pier called Pier-Packages. For seaside29 you would have Seaside29-Packages etc etc. This contains a class/classes which document all of the packages, and the dependencies that are available for the project, together with metadata, and package comments. Some have reservations about Sake/Packages because they say it is not declaritive. It is if you want it to be. 99% of the package declarations already present are declarative. Exceptions are usually weird cases like the unload script for Sake itself. Having seen recently how useful this idea is, I will be looking at the following improvements to the idea. 1) how best to integrate these micro-universes in to the main Packages-Library 2) how to declare alternative definitions for pharo and other images 3) how to make the micro universes light-weight, so that they may be available for documentation without depending upon Sake/Packages being loaded, (hmm, perhaps they could be published as traits!). 4) Bob support - Sake/Packages will also be able to generate load scripts (for Bob or anyone who is interested), so that "Bob the Builder" can build complex images without having ANY of the following loaded monticello/sake/packages/universes/squeakmap, Installer will be the only dependency.
