The number of Cuis packages will likely continue to grow in the future, even when only considering package as framework or library. The community should take care of these packages. Nevertheless, what could be done is to organize how the community keeps up to date packages for a given Cuis stable release. For example, should we have dedicated repository matching a Cuis release to copy there packages tested, and if necessary patched, as compatible with the given Cuis release. This is just one unorganized though. IMHO, this is one point that need to be sorted out. It could both reduce your burden and help the community to contribute. With software evolution, packages no put under the scrutiny of the community, will still be around but without the warranty to be still working with a given stable Cuis release. Some packages, unused, will just silently die. But complexity will be kept out of Cuis. About system complexity, there was an interesting thread on the Squeak Mailing a few years ago. I found it accidentally, I was searching for something completely different (Cuis Affine transformation), which I did not find. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org/thread/EIAR5YKA2NARJSQJCDSIBLRZP7T72QCO/#XGCRSBZCNIF3CTVJD5A2DTXZO3VKUVW5">https://lists.squeakfoundation.org/archives/list/squeak-dev@lists.squeakfoundation.org/thread/EIAR5YKA2NARJSQJCDSIBLRZP7T72QCO/#XGCRSBZCNIF3CTVJD5A2DTXZO3VKUVW5</a> The discussion spanned over several months Hilaire <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Le 27/02/2024 à 13:27, Juan Vuletich a écrit : </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:65DDD515.2050903@cuis.st">Stable releases should only include well tested and reviewed code. That's why 6.2 stable has only a small set of packages. I'm afraid that progress here could be slow. Maybe we still need to find ways to handle "community supported code". The codebase of Cuis + all the packages is too large for me to audit it. (That's of course the whole point of having a small image). </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- GNU Dr. Geo <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gnu.org/s/dr-geo/">http://gnu.org/s/dr-geo/</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://gnu-drgeo.blogspot.com/">http://gnu-drgeo.blogspot.com/</a></pre> </body> </html>
