I am a bit surprised that packages in squeakmap (and monticello?)

system:
gem install foobar
will inspect meta-data on the foobar package, and then locate and
install any required packages as well if they are not present
already, before installing foobar. It is also version aware.
Is there a way to do this with squeak packages? Some specific
reason for not doing this?
This is a real problem currently. However, someone is working on
creating debian-like packages for squeak which will just be perfect
in my opinion.
who?
so far nobody!
Some package mainteners write scripts that are launched during the
installation and install the necessary dependencies. Lukas wrote
one for pier and one for Seaside. Normally, SeasideInstaller and
Pier on SqueakMap should install the dependencies.
