Peter,

In the long term the the MetaRepo should be replaced by a repository of
project specification objects (like this [1]). Each project
specification would contain the meta data for a project (like this[2])
instead of a copy of a ConfigurationOf that is almost always out-of-date.
Yes we are working on it.
Now 64bits, FFI, Iceberg, bootstrap got our attention.
ConfigurationOf should really be phased out -- they've been obsolete for
3-4 years now... BaselineOf is preferred.
If folks are using something like git/github, with proper branching,
then a BaselineOf wouldn't be published on the master branch until the
unit tests are passing (travis-ci).
I want more than just the tests but this is a start.

We will arrive there. Because I want it too.
Now pavel worked on the bootstrap to avoid to lose all the energy that
guille put on it.

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?
