I just checked it on Squeak 4.4, which was an adventure on its own *sigh*.
I'm curious to know why. Phexample works fine in 4.5, so it ought to work (and does, according to build.squeak.org) on Squeaks 4.3 and 4.4 as well.
It was just the problem with bootstrapping metacello. Monticello not being able to follow the redirect on the old GemStone URLs was a bit of a stumbling block, and unfortunately not handled with a nice human-readable error message. But that was it more or less.
Ah, right, OK. I can understand that. Dale's stumbled across this problem before, but I've only just recorded it (as http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7780)
I think this is a critical bug that also affects Squeak 4.1..3 We really should make use of our power and update repositories to fix it in all four versions. It is a show stopper when you want to install anything Metacello initially.
Thanks!
