The recent work I did in the book archetype factored all of the technical stuff out of the main Makefile, which now just sets variables and includes build logic from the support/makefiles directory.

I'm thinking this directory should be extracted as a repo of its own, as it is generic but ends up being duplicated in the code of each book. That would help share fixes across books…

Furthermore, some books (well, only @SquareBracketAssociates/LearningOOPWithPharo currently) require some customization, so an override mechanism would be nice… not sure how to do it, though.

What's certain is that updating half a dozen projects so they benefit from fixes in the archetype is starting to be a hassle (not hard to do but quite repetitive and not automated).
