Updating bootstrapping methods

How do I update a config to the latest bootstrapping methods (e.g. ConfigurationOFXxx class>load)? ConfigurationOfFFI is still using latestVersion...

Thanks.
Sean

Depends upon what you want to do ...

I would recommend using `load: #stable` as the safest bet ... especially for FFI which is cross-dialect...

But do I have to manually copy paste the methods from a fresh config, or is there a command I can issue, e.g. toolbox updateBootstrapFor: ConfigurationOfFFI? Is #load the only class-side method that's been in flux? If so, no big deal copy/pasting, but I thought maybe all those class-side methods might have to be updated...

Ah....

No actually the class-side methods should eventually go away and be replaced with a proper Metacello script expression.... with the scripting api, noone should be directly manipulating the configuration class for loads ...

I've always talked about the fact that the even though we are using classes for the specifications, they were to be thought of as fancy, self-parsing XML files:).

The class-side methods were invented out of convenience and necessity, but I hope that the scripting API provides a better mechanism for loading...
