0007558: First-class Package comments

Notes
(0013847 - 296 - 338 - 338 - 338 - 338 - 338) hirzel 09-04-10 06:43	There is a package 'PackageInfo' which contains four classes PackageInfo allInstances size 29 PackageList allInstances size 0 PackageOrganizer allInstances size 1 PackageServices allInstances size 0 The classes seem to be used? What is the function? They do not have class comments.

Typically by MCPackage>>packageInfo. Or interactively. E.g. one can ask for all ToolBuilder classes even though ToolBuilder is 4 separate MC packages in trunk: (PackageInfo named: 'ToolBuilder') classes > 2) What does the PackageOrganizer instance do? It holds onto PackageInfo instances, so that after creating one you always get the same instance. > Is it just used by the PackagePaneBrowser? The PackagePaneBrowser has nothing to do with packages. It operates on class categories, not packages. I do not find it useful. The only shipping browser showing packages is in Monticello, when you click "browse". Monticello has a separate registry: MCWorkingCopy allManagers collect: #package - Bert -

It seems that this is the currently available 'packages information'. Is this correct? Note 2) An MCWorkingCopy instance holds an instance of MCWorkingAncestry. The ancestor information is hold in an Array of MCVersionInfo objects.
