Which is better if you want Smalltalk code to be includeable in the base Squeak?

 

MIT or LGPL?

 

I have a large Generator Package(s) that is all marked up as GPL in Dolphin Smalltalk.

 

I think that this Generator stuff could take a place alongside Collections and Streams

in the base Squeak / Croquet image.

 

I am reluctant to think about porting from Dolphin to Squeak.  I tend to sign myself

up for things that I can't do.  I'm gung ho for about a day and then reality sets in.

It's easier just to talk.  To dream.  But I guess the idea that it might get into the Squeak

image makes it more attractive.  To try.  To even think about.

 

( Some resistances come to mind.

Perhaps it's not up to the generally accepted practice of including practically zero

documentation?  And could not be included for that reason?  The change log is

too big.  There are long rants in there.  poetics.  nonsense.  the included text

looks like some Mandelbrot set?  With too many usage examples and ideas

written into the comments? )

 

Are there any automated ways of going from Dolphin to Squeak?

File out Class by Class and fileIn and copy method by method?

If I strip out some stuff from Dolphin Packages would they just fileIn to Squeak?

But if there are no loose methods in Squeak Packages then the whole thing is

impossible.

 

It would be cool if there was some standard way to transfer code between the

different Smalltalks.  But I guess they are just too different.  And the idea of

making a commonality comes and goes.  But never sticks.
