Hi guys,
please forgive me if this mail is a sign of ignorance. I am not a
regular Pharo user and one of the reasons for this is that I didn't like
most of the source management tools around Monticello. Coming from an
envy background, it feels like not being ready for prime time. Of course
you guys have been proving you can work with these tools quite well, but
still I'd be interested in using Pharo in a pure git-based environment,
as it most closely resembles some of the most-beloved features of envy.
Over the years there was a lot of work and discussion on filetree,
gitfiletree, iceberg, cypress and maybe quite a few other projects that
sounded promising and interesting. But I must admit I lost track of what
was really done and how far things went in the last years.
So are there any pointers to info material that I could look at to see
what the current status of source control in Pharo 5 and Pharo 6 is
and/or will be soon?
I am mostly interested in these topics:
* git only - no monticello meta info any more - possible?
* tools like merge/diff, committing from within the image
* dependencies within my own project as well as dependencies on
external code in - possibly multiple - external repositories
* what is the current "most official" source repository for open
source code?
* best practices for managing complex projects and keeping old
versions reproducible at any time
* tutorial for git newbies in a Pharo context? (Like, how do I start
with a new packege - create folder first and do git init, or start
in the image and push into repo later? as I said: beginners' stuff)
Thanks for pointers and help
Joachim
