How to use Mole as dependency in a Pharo product

In order to include Mole as part of your project, you should reference the package in your product baseline:

1. Define the Mole repository and version to be used, and the baseline groups you want to depend on (usually it will be Deployment).

   If you're unsure on what to depend use the Dependency Analyzer tool to choose an appropriate group including the packages you need.

2. Create a method like this one in the baseline class of your product:

   setUpDependencies: spec
   
     spec
       baseline: 'Mole'
       with: [ spec repository: 'github://github://ba-st/Mole:v{XX}' ];
       project: 'Mole-Deployment'
       copyFrom: 'Mole' with: [ spec loads: 'Deployment' ]

   This will create Mole-Deployment as a valid target that can be used as requirement in your own packages.

   Replace {XX} with the version you want to depend on

3. Use the new loading target as a requirement on your packages. For example:

   baseline: spec
   
   <baseline>
   spec
     for: #pharo
     do: [
       self setUpDependencies: spec.
       spec
         package: 'My-Package'
         with: [ spec requires: #('Mole-Deployment') ] ]
