[squeak-dev] [MC] Best practice for multi-package diffs?

Hi -

We have plenty of MC packages in our product builds (approx. 100) and
one of the most difficult tasks can be to figure out what has changed
between two builds. Is there any good solution for this problem which
doesn't involve going through the packages by hand? (I will note that we
have configurations for the builds so we do know which versions are in
which build). What do others do to figure out what has changed?

Cheers,
   - Andreas

Just an ugly workaround: when you have a common (and empty) root
package you can select this one to merge and then get a listing of all
the changes in the dependent packages.
