I have a working version of the program I have been developing and would like to start using SS3 as a repository, but it will only let me upload an MCZ file. All I seem to be able to find is file out in the Category pane.<br>

</div>Thanks! This is where I got stuck. I did read a lot of documetation and code yesterday, but I never quited made the connection of selecting the two objects and clicking the 'Save' button.<br>
<br>
I guess I was blinded by my assumptions. The SS3 web site offers me the opportunity to upload a file, but it has to be in MCZ format. My expectation was that there should be a popup menu item similar to #fileOut somewhere and I just couldn't find it.<br>
<br>
Now that I see how the file is created, I understand the Monticello philosophy better. I can use my local repository for day-to-day development and publish periodic point releases to an external, shared repositiory.<br></blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>I recommend that you publish as often as possible to the external shared repository. It is very useful to be able to get the diffs between specific versions. The way I see the package-cache is that it gives me a simple way of continuing to work when I don't have network connectivity (I'm on the move, or the repository isn't responding).</div>
