Hmm, I ran into the same thing.  It seems fixed now.  I'm not sure
what was wrong, but I posted a new version "9b".  Please give it a
try!


The way it all works, theory aside, is pretty much what has been
described in the long thread "An 3.9 image for developers".  You get a
list of packages, and you can install things from the list.  You can
put group packages on the list if you want, so that you could have
"standard developer set" as a package that simply depends on all the
standard developer packages.  People can post updated packages to the
list, just like with SqueakMap (except, you use a GUI, not a web
site).


On top of the basics, there are some theoretical niceties.  One of the
big ones is that you can have a local repository of packages that
augments a standard public repository....
