[Glass] Convert Git Package for Pharo into a Rowan package

[Jupiter Jones]

Hi Reg,

You shouldn’t need to convert any packages. Rowan can load from both tonel and file tree packages, however, I believe tonel is the default package format.

All you should need to add is a rowan spec (which is kinda equivalent to a Metacello BaselineOf).

So, you should be able to use the same repo for both Pharo and GemStone code, and have a Rowan spec for loading packages needed in GemStone, and a BaselineOfMyProject for packages needed in Pharo… until Rowan4Pharo is released and you can use Rowan for both.

You can create the spec model in code (like we do with Baselines), then save it to a bunch of STON files, or simply create the ston files directly.

Look in the “rowan” directory in GsDevKit_stones, superdoit, or gt4gemstone projects for examples of how to set up a rowan spec.

GsDevKit should “one-click” load Rowan specs from a shell using:

installProject.stone file:$pathToGitRepos/MyProject/rowan/specs/MyProject.ston  \
	--projectsHome=$pathToGitRepos

Hopefully Dale will correct where I’m wrong :)

Cheers
