Our current squeaksource.com image is running on an older Squeak version, and its SqueakSource packages are out of date with respect to the source.squeak.org server.
I had looked into doing a squeaksource.com update a couple of years ago, but at that time I was not able to complete it due to some issues with ReferenceStream serialization, which is required for exporting the SS repository and importing it into an new image.
The earlier issues with ReferenceStream serialization are resolved in Squeak 5.3, so it is now possible to export the serialized respository from the old image and import it into a Squeak 5.3 image.
I have prepared a Squeak 5.3 based image for squeaksource.com, and I'd like to try swapping it into service some time soon. This will be a quick switchover (about one minute or less), and in the event of problems the rollback to the prior version will happen within a few minutes.
However, the actual process of exporting the repository and importing it to the new image takes about six hours on my PC, so the overall conversion will take quite a while for me to do, and I will need to pick a day when I have some free time before I do it.
This is just a heads-up that I have the new image prepared, and am planning to deploy it some time in the coming days or weeks. I will send email to squeak-dev prior to actually flipping the switch.
