self-backporting from P7 to P6.1

Hi,

are there some recommended practices / tooling for custom backporting from P7 to P6.1?

Thanks,

Peter

Re: self-backporting from P7 to P6.1

Esteban did some work on making a forward compatibility package for spec.

github://pharo-contributions/Spec70Compatibility:v1.0.0/src

The idea is that people should do the opposite: code for Pharo7, while being in Pharo 6.

But that covers only Spec. We have to think if there is some automatic solution for all the stream/file changes also.

Peter, I want your file dialog into pharo!

Exactly. Several times I was put off contributing to P7, because I needed a solution now, and not in year when P7 comes out... so I hacked a workaround instead of a proper fix... which is not good.

Me too. :-D

But I'm finishing my degree in ~45 days so it won't be before that...
