Hi,

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

I do not think so but if people show me otherwise I could follow that.
Usually I have a conf in my repo referencing other repo and not the meta one
Then I push in the meta just to config.


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?

Peter
