[Pharo-users] Depending on MetaRepo instead of the target repo

[Peter Uhnak]

Hi,

would it make sense to take configurations from metarepos instead directly from 
the source?

And more imporantly: would be considered bad practice for users to do it right 
now?

E.g.

spec
        project: 'Magritte'
        with: [ spec
                className: #ConfigurationOfMagritte3;
                versionString: #stable;
                repository: 
'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo50/main/' ].

v. repository: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Magritte/Magritte3/main/'


pros:
* the (e.g. Magritte) developer can freely change platforms
* the ConfigurationOf could differ between various MetaRepo versions (combined 
with git it could reduce their complexity)
* users do not have to think about where is the canonical repo (I've seen 
project that had copies on SS, STHub, GitHub, and a custom location -_-)

cons:
* the ConfigurationOf could differ between various MetaRepo versions (if the 
code is compatible, then two repos have to be updated

Any thoughts?
