[squeak-dev] Monticello issues in the Trunk

Hi,

there are a few issues with MC in the Trunk, which is a big problem IMHO, 
because our developement process is based on it:

1) The update process doesn't merge packages automatically anymore. If you 
update your image now, it should have Tools-fbs.350 and Tools-fbs.349 
merged, but only Tools-fbs.350 is loaded.

2) Monticello's test are broken, probably due to the changes of it's mock 
package structure. A clear sign of the bug is that MCSnapshotTest >> 
#mockClassExtension is removed after running the tests, which results in 
several errors and failures. The reason why this went unnoticed is 
probably because of the lack of manual test runs, but IMHO that's 
mandatory if you upload stuff to the Trunk.

3) In the various MC browsers mczs are sometimes duplicated in the lists 
(e.g. Kernel-nice.582.mcz appears twice), but only the first can be 
selected (this is probably a property of the list that holds the 
versions).

4) If you add a repository to a package, select the package in Monticello 
Browser (MCWorkingCopyBrowser), then editing the repository has no effect. 
This is very annoying, because you think that you changed the 
username/password for the repository, but you actually didn't. Your 
changes only take effect if you unselect the package and repeat the 
process.

I hope we can fix these asap.

Cheers,
Levente
