[Etoys-notify] [JIRA] Updated: (SQ-66) Make SqueakMap Package Loader work

[jira at immuexa.com]

     [ http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-66?page=all ]

Scott Wallace updated SQ-66:
----------------------------

    Fix Version: someday
                     (was: triage)

It remains true that it would be desirable for one or more tools allowing loading of packages available in the forms used by regular Squeak developers (using Squeaks originating from squeak.org) -- i.e. SqueakMap, Monticello, Universes, or some such -- to be present in the etoys image. Once this were available, package maintainers could publish versions of packages approved by them for the etoys image, etc.

I'm marking the fix-version as 'someday' at this time only to indicate that while it would be nice, it's not on a critcial path and does not have much direct educational importance.

> TRAC #4799 SqueakMap Package Loader (Luke Gorrie)
> The SqueakMap package loader isn't working with the etoys-dev-2.2 image (or earlier recent versions that I tried). To reproduce: 1. Run 'WorldMenu->SqueakMap Package Loader' 2. Say yes to the dialogues (mandatory upgrade of SqueakMap, install of Monticello) The debugger will open before SqueakMap can be successfully upgraded.
> This is a problem for me because I'd like to use SqueakMap to install add-on packages for my development image. I'm not sure whether enough packages available in SqueakMap are compatible with the XO image to make this worthwhile though.
> (Bert) The attached log is a simple Monticello bug, has nothing much to do with our image - it needs to be bullet-proofed.  It is indeed important for Squeak developers, though irrelevant for Etoys users.
