Versionner Wipes per-package #repository: setting

If you have a config with e.g.:
  spec package: 'MyPackage' with: [ spec repository: aString ];
And then save it with Versionner, it gets truncated to:
  spec package: 'MyPackage';

Should I file a bug? Ideally, Versionner would support Metacello's full API, but in the mean time, at least leaving unknown options alone would be a big improvement. As it stands now, once one has something like the above in a config, one can't use Versionner anymore.

Versionner is not thought to support Metacello full API but rather a subset and provide guidelines.

Fully agree with that. Even if not supported in the UI, Versionner should not discard data.

In the meantime, I find very strange to have packages of a project in different repositories. When I saw this kind of things, it was in configurations using packages from another project without declaring this external project in the config. Maybe in some cases, it is needed but it is not something that we want to encourage.
Could you tell me more about your use case?

Cheers,
Christophe

Hee hee, you caught me ;) I agree that we shouldn't encourage such irresponsible behavior, and request only that we limit the punishment to having to hand-write, instead of decapitation!

Please add a bug entry. I will take a look if it's can be done quickly.
