[Cryptography Team] Progress Report: Callisto House AND Questions bout ASN1 tagging of PKIX structures

[rabbit]

Well I do not know what my issue was, now loading the 
CryptographyBootsatrap calls initialize...no need to explicitly 
call#//satrap. // This adds CryptographyBootsatrap to the startUp: list 
and #startUp: true calls #satrap on every restart. So with this image, 
every restart does the following...1) loads latest FixCharacterLimit, 2) 
updates from the alpha trunk, 3) loads latest Crypto, 4) runs all Crypto 
tests and 5) saves the image.

    Cryptography class>>#satrap

     1. loads the 'FixCharacterLimit, which also defines new convenience
        methods

          * MCMcmUpdater class>>#updateFromAlphaTrunk
          * TestSuite class>>#testsPassInCategory: categoryName

     2. updateFromAlphaTrunk

          * sets #defaultUpdateURL: to the alpha trunk
            ('https://source.squeak.org/trunk')
          * calls #updateFromServer.

     3. loads 'ProCrypto-1-1-1' and 'ProCryptoTests-1-1-1'
     4. calls the new method CryptographyTestCase class>>#runAllCryptoTests
     5. saves the image.

So this should suffice to make all this happen in a new crypto image...

    /Installer ss project: 'Cryptography'; install:
    'CryptographyBootsatrap'./

Make sure you use a custom crypto image, saved off to the side as this 
will always run #satrap and the above steps.

/Cheers!

Have a good one; keep it, light.
Kindly,
rabbit
