Hi.  I promised earlier this week to document how to remove a package from
trunk.
-----
To remove a package from trunk:
1. First, do NOT delete the package from source.squeak.org!  Leave it in
for older images.
2. Note the version of the package to be removed.
3. Edit the Squeak-Version package, altering the postscript to remove the
package (MCPackage named: 'Universes') unload.  You get to the postscript
by pressing the 'Scripts' button in the Monticello Browser when the package
is selected.
4. Save the Squeak-Version package to trunk with a version that is
increased by the removed package version (step 2 above) + 1 for this bump.
This keeps the trunk version number correctly increasinglike it should.
5. Update the trunk update config with the latest version of packages - and
REMOVE the package from the config that should no longer be in trunk.  Save
this update.
6. Test it with a new image to verify everything worked correctly.

Comments are welcome.  If no comments/correction, could this be added to
the page http://squeak.org/development_process/ to increase the dev process
documentation?

Thanks,
cbc
