The problem is that the configuration of the project used to version that project inside the Pharo image isn't versionned inside Pharo, but instead in the project itself. So, on a regular basis, you have a message which says: I tried to load the project X inside Pharo (where X, as an older version, is inside Pharo already) and it breaks here and there. It will bite us when we'll try to make use of the Minimal image and rebuilt stuff on top of it; all those external projects have a tendency to redefine their configurations and semantic versions on a regular basis, and Pharo does not record where and which; which will make reproducing out of a Minimal image a real pain, with breakages appearing from one day to another. > > that's how any complex project works... and that's how we should work too. > SLICES are just a patch that exists because our system still not modular > enough. > Well, current system isn't much better, IMHO. A simple solution, would be to version in PharoXX/main, the exact configuration used to load the external project. It is not the case today.
