    Gofer provides a robust and stable implementation to script the management of your packages. When your project grows, you should really consider using Metacello (see Chapter 9).

    In this chapter, we introduce how we can script package with Gofer.

    • The method load allows us to load packages from sources given with the method url: and package:.
    • The method url: supports FTP and local directory access.
    • The API provides some useful shortcuts: smalltalkhubUser:project: is a shortcut for http://www.smalltalkhub.com, squeaksource3: for http://ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/ and gemsource: for http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/.
    • We can load several packages by calling the method package: multiple times before calling load.
    • Once a Gofer instance is parametrized, one can perform a number of relevant operations: update, merge, push, . . .
