Getting a code snippet from SqueakSource (similar to #ensureFix: in Mantis)

Hi!

Is there a convenient way to load a specific piece of code (i.e., some methods from a version from a package from a repo) from SqueakSource?

I want to load some code from the Squeak trunk with a Metacello script for a project that is meant to be used in Squeak 4.3.

Best,
Marcel

You can always simply unzip the mcz (its a zip file) and then take a
look at the .st file in there. :)

A little more confortable is to use the monticello browser. With it you can open a repository and look at each version with a normal browser. There you can file in code as well.

Cheers,
Hans-Martin

I'm looking for some Smalltalk code that I can use in the Metacello post-load script. ;-) No manual interaction with Squeak tools possible.

Something like "Installer mantis ensureFix: 1234." but for SqueakSource/Monticello.

It would help if you could be more specific about what you're wanting
to do -- what inputs do you have, what output do you want?

You might start by looking at MCRepository, it lets you access the
versions of a repository.  By reading just the latest version you can
access the full change-history text.

However if you want to scan the #source of MCMethodDefinitions of each
version then check out MCVersionReader to access those definitions.
