[Cuis] Question about package system

[H. Hirzel]

Casey,

The class PackageInfo has been renamed to CodePackage by Juan.

Read the comment there.
As well the one of CodePackageFile.


Maybe a sequence of exercises like the following helps.

Phase 0
Get an account on www.github.com

Create a fork of https://github.com/jvuletich/Cuis

Install a git client.on your local machine
I use http://code.google.com/p/msysgit and in particular the git bash
shell under Windows 7 so that I do not have to shift gears mentally
when working under Linux. However you might prefer something else.

Read the help files of github in particular the part about forking
(actually the 'git boot camp')

- cloning your fork
- uploading your local changes to your fork
- pulling in updates from your fork (called origin)
- pulling in changes from master (from Juan), this is called 'upstream'


Phase 1

a) World Menu -> Open -> Installed Packages

b) button Create package named 'MyVeryNicePackage'

c) add some classes with category 'MyVeryNicePackage' in System Browser

d) go to 'Installed Packages' browser and click 'save'

e) quit Cuis without saving anything

f) commit the code 'MyVeryNicePackage.pck.st'

g) git push origin master




Phase 2 a)
a) start Cuis again

b) World Menu -> Open -> File List

c)  Choose 'MyVeryNicePackage.pck.st'

d) Click on button 'InstallPckg'

e) Use the code in class category MyVeryNicePackage



Phase 2b)
a) Make changes to class category MyVeryNicePackage

b) save package in 'Installed Packages' browser

c) quit Cuis without saving anything

d) git commit -m "my second version of MyVeryNicePackage"

e) maybe push it again to your fork

   git push origin master




Phase 3)

..... pull in changes from Juan



git pull upstream master
git merge upstream/master

(to check.... I am still learning github as well

Angel maybe you can elaborarte

how to set upstream
