wish for Iceberg

Hi!

It would be great to be able to save the repositories on the disk, somewhere. And to not have to type them all the time.

Also, if I install a git repository, I would like to be able to commit / push after modifying it.

Cheers,
Alexandre

You're right, this is already in my backlog.

This is good feedback because now I can prioritize it better.

Also, if I install a git repository, I would like to be able to commit / push after modifying it.

This is a bit more difficult, because (if I understand what you mean) you have a git repo that you probably downloaded with Gofer or Metacello. So Iceberg can not use it for committing/pushing (because it is not a real git repo). I have been talking with Dale and Cristophe, so that Metacello and Cargo will use Iceberg for downloading git repos... so you will not have that problem any more. Still, it might be a while until those changes are integrated in Metacello (I think).

So in the meantime I can build a tool to convert a git metacello-downloaded MCRepository to an Iceberg repository in a simple way. Do you think it would be useful?

Why? If you integrate Iceberg like GitFileTree is (or reuse GitFileTree
urls), then Metacello or Gofer will download (clone) git repositories
and Iceberg should be able to work with them.

Now, if in your sentence, I replace git by github (as in Metacello
github:// urls), then it makes sense, yes.

My important wish for Iceberg is managing Pull Request.

Now I think that we should let nicolas release a version before
bombarding him about features.

No idea. It looks interesting!

Anyway, keep pushing! This is so exciting to see this happening!

Re: wish for Iceberg

I start to move some of my projects on github as a small experiment:

https://github.com/UMMISCO/kendrick
https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/PlayerST
https://github.com/SergeStinckwich/Actalk

All with SmalltalkCI jobs !
Everything is working perfectly until now but still very tricky sometimes.
