B) squeaksource There's also a SqueakMap entry for the old system. It didn't load either. Complaints about no #stable version etc I did see the ConfigurationOfSqueakSource and tried that but again, no stable version, no way I spotted to use any other named version that looked plausible. I suppose one shouldn't be too surprised since it is pretty old but it *is* the system we have as a main repository...
Assuming that the "old system" refers to what we now know as squeaksource.com, then there is no real repository for the sources. It basically exists as a long running image that has survived into the modern era, with some workspaces that explain how the image originally came into existance, and how it has subsequently been maintained in the intervening decades.
Yah; well, that's perhaps even worse than I remembered. I see someone balancing on a highwire over a raging river of lava, with lava-proof giant Piranha swimming hungrily below. And the wire is razor thin and the walkers feet are unprotected.
The source.squeak.org image is of newer vintage, and it is closely related to (same as?) the personalsqueaksource version.
Ah, interesting. That one completely escaped my attention.
