How can I get latest version from Monticello in Smalltalk?

Question

I am looking for the 'svn update' of the Monticello version control system. I use the browser to search for new mcz packages, but I want to be able to do it with a script.

Answer 1

I think, that most easiest way will be to use Installer. If its not included in your image, do this first:

HTTPSocket httpFileIn: 'installer.pbwiki.com/f/LPF.st'.

this script will install a so-called Level Playing Field (read more here: http://installer.pbwiki.com/LevelPlayingField)

next step is quite simple:

Installer monticello http: 'http://www.squeaksource.com'; project: 'Seaside'; install: 'Seaside-core'

you can look at usage examples here: http://installer.pbwiki.com/Installer

Answer 2

The step:

Installer monticello http: 'http://www.squeaksource.com'; project: 'Seaside'; install: 'Seaside-core'

can be abbreviated to:

Installer ss project: 'Seaside29'; install: 'Seaside-Core'.
