I'm not sure that maintaining two version is an option for you.

The way you were doing them is ok.
You could also publish directly in Pharo
But if you want to have you own package and control over it this is ok too.

Why MC is not good for you?

It is your time and effort what you'll donate. So is up to you if you
want to maintain two versions. I think that nobody will have arguments
for complain if you decide not to maintain but the Pharo version.

I think that if it is possible to have a external, squeaksource
repository hosted, monticello (and later a ConfigurationOfPolymorph)
that would be the best. Because:
- If someday someone wants to add support for Squeak (supposing that
there is only Pharo support) they have the packages to work on.
- If they are in an external repository, they can add per-platform
packages to handle the differences between squeak/pharo/cuis
- Metacello can load the different packages depending on the platform
without problems
- What we want is a smaller image every day. If the package is loadable
(with Metacello for example) a script to build the image from a minimal,
non-ui image is possible

Unless that there is something that monticello (and pre and post scripts
from monticello) can't handle, I will avoid changesets. Also, if you use
changesets, where they will be hosted, not in the list please, that is a
nightmare for the people searching for a given .cs.

Keep the good work.

I'd recommend to incorporate all Polymorph's overrides into Morphic.
Then you can still maintain Polymorph as separate package,
but don't fool yourself with a tons of overrides.

It inevitable that there will be more necessary overrides... not even
close to getting Morphic totally hooked for all that will be needed...
