MetacelloBrowser

Hi All,

I am happy to announce that MetacelloBrowser is ready for public consumption.
http://metacellobrowser.dcc.uchile.cl

I am not releasing it because the idea of maintaining yet another software makes me particularly happy. I have been using it for a couple of months already for Mondrian, Spy and other projects. MetacelloBrowser has a great impact on the way I manage versions. My wish is to see the libraries that I use everyday better maintained and versioned.

We should not let Pharo die because there is no GUI for Metacello. This is what MetacelloBrowser is about.

Cheers,
Alexandre

I only just looked at the screenshot on http://metacellobrowser.dcc.uchile.cl and my initial reaction is; if all items in the left pane start with "ConfigurationOf" why not just drop the "ConfigurationOf" because that would make it much easier to scan/read through the configurations

I agree. But using the configuration basename instead of the complete name has some magic feeling to me.
For example, the ConfigurationMetacelloBrowser loads the package MetacelloBrowser, itself contained in the squeaksource MetacelloBrowser repository. I feel it get easy to be confused.
I will experiment with your suggestion. Thanks

Cheers,
Alexandre

I can see your point, but having all items start with "ConfigurationOf" adds too much noise.

So, we "can" now have a configuration MetacelloBrowser using ConfigurationOfMetacelloBrowser to load from the MetacelloBrowser repository on Squeaksource, the package MetacelloBrowser which has classes that are in the MetacelloBrowser category where the Configuration = Repository = Package = Category :)
