Metacello is in the sweet-spot - I use it just rarely enough to completely forget how to use it (okay, maybe not completely, but the ins and outs of spec syntax), and just frequently enough to make that fact annoying ;-)
I started creating some classes, which I use like so:
(pSpec := MetacelloPlatformSpec forPlatform: #pharo)
package: 'Applescript-Core' includes: 'Applescript-Platform'.
baseline := MetacelloBaseline forPackage: #Applescript.
baseline
description: 'Split into Core and Platform packages to work on Squeak 4.x and Pharo 1.x';
...
addPlatform: pSpec.
Then, I output baseline as a string, and compile:classified: it in the ConfigurationOfXxx.
My intention is to make the techniques described on the Google code page into executable objects so that:
1. I don't have to keep going back the docs
2. I keep building on what I learn about Metacello
I will upload to SqS if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
