Btw. how is the ConfigurationOfPetitParser supposed to work? I loaded the one from the moose repo. Looking at it I need to use at least 1.6 because earlier versions have still Lukas’ repositories configured. But if I load 1.6 and try to use Versionner it shows me that I have 1.8-snapshot loaded. Is this a problem of versionner because of the use of snapshotocello it can’t find version numbers in the version methods? So even if I’m willing to use the 1.8-snapshot version I can’t because I want to load only the core and not the rest of the universe but the groups are missing in 1.8-snapshot while being there in 1.7-snapshot.
I would be glad if someone could shed some light how this should work and why it needs all the added complexity. My advize would be to separate metacello configurations for the different uses of it. I do the same with my own projects because it causes less trouble. A ConfigurationOfPetitParser and a separate ConfigurationOfPetitGui that introduces dependencies to glamour et al. would save some headaches for people that are only interested in PetitParser.
