For example, Cocoon is a framework to facilitate handling of user configuration files. We created Cocoon by extracting code from Pillar and Pillar is still the only user of Cocoon. This means we evolve Pillar and Cocoon in parallel. The configuration of Pillar requires Cocoon. As far as I understand, there are 2-ways to describe this dependency if Cocoon is hosted on github: 1. Pillar depends on a read-only version of the Cocoon source code and Metacello will download a zip archive from github. That's nice for all users of Pillar but not for Pillar developers who would prefer a read-write solution ; 2. Pillar depends on a read-write clone of the github repository. That's nice for Pillar developers but not for Pillar users. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill
