How to set packaging rules to NOT reduce pool dictionaries?

[PhotonDemon]

Hi Everybody,

How do I change packaging rules to NOT reduce all pool dictionaries? I am (still) trying to package my Seaside app as an NT service. I have made some progress and will report to this group when I get it all worked out. But right now I have discovered that Seaside and SST use items that have been reduced out of pool dictionaries by a rule like "reduce all pool dictionaries". Can I turn this off someplace?

As a first shot I would remove the rule

"
aRuleCreationInterface reduceAllReferencedPoolDictionaries
"

from the method "#packagingRulesFor:" in your packaging class

and add a line like

"
aRuleCreationInterface includeGlobalVariable: #'PackSymbol'.
"

where PackSymbol is your own pool dictionary ...

These steps can also be done the in Packager GUI ... look at the image contents and add a rule and delete the rule ...

Hi Marten,

Thanks for the reply. I figured out about removing the #reduceAllReferencedPoolDictionaries call in #packagingRulesFor: late Friday. Your hint about being able to do it from the Packager GUI lead me to learn a little more about the packager and clean some thing up. So, thanks for that.

In setting rules sometimes, you may wish to write expressions in a workspace that makes reference to constants or other variables in Pool Dictionaries. In order to do this you must first associate the pool dictionaries with the workspace. You can do this using the Workspace/Pools command. This will prompt with a multi-selection list containing all of the pools available in the system. From here you should choose those pools that you wish to make use of.
