What is Metacello

Package management system for Monticello.

Configuration “file” per project.7


A configuration “file” defines project versions.

A version is:

List of Monticello files (mcz) used by the project.

List of other projects used by the project.

A specification of dependencies between packages and projects.

Example

Type of software Example Operations

I develop or contribute Fuel, DBXTalk, Marea and CogVM

- Build image- Just load

External tools or addons I use

Glamoroust, Keymapping,

TilingWindowManager, etc

Install them when building my images

I think that in the future we will all end up having our own local CI server building and testing our images.
