I afraid I follow Ralph directives.
I wait long, send several proposal here and not good feedback.
The actual process is very cumbersome as I should made .mcz files for
putting on 3.10 repository.
The "real cs" are not real cs.
Is some doit in script form for load the .mcz from repository
IMHO we should .cs use until DeltaStreams are complete. I offer redo all
again from 3.9 , but bad reception...
I attach original 7142, but I afraid is of no use now.

The change touch

Collections 
CollectionsTests
Graphics 
Kernel 
KernelTests
Monticello 
Morphic 
MorphicExtras 
Multilingual
ST80 
System
Tests
Tools
EToys
Network
Traits
XML-Parser


I should delete all newer of touched packages in 3.10 repository and do
tricks for still I could load last versions from it.


You don't need revert the 172 methods, only the few on which == is right and
= is not.
If you have this, send me and Ralph what you have, but again I was told to
delete all from 7142 and do again the rest without it.

Still you could take the red pill with some fresh copy of 7158.
If you update using the button of squeak flap, you must have the original
.mcz on your package-cache folder and also all the .mcd.

And if you convince people of using again .cs, I could send a couple of fine

"Reporter: MarcusDenker
Summary: 0002788: Bug:  Use of == for arithmetic equality
Description: From:   Dan.Ingalls at Post.Harvard.edu
Subject: Bug:  Use of == for arithmetic equality

To:   squeak-dev at lists.squeakfoundation.org

I've been playing around with a new VM (heh, heh) which, for a while, happened not to intern (ie force unique instances of) SmallIntegers. In this case the use of == to mean arithmetic equality will not work properly.  In my opinion, all such occurrences in the system should be eliminated ASAP;  == is not an arithmetic compare in any Smalltalk I know of.  While it may work with small constants, it is simply wrong, and an especially bad example for newbies to see.  Besides failing in certain interpreters, it will fail in Squeak itself if the integers are not small.

I regret that I don't have time to fix these right now.  However, if there is a well-intentioned soul out there, he or she will perhaps find the method below to be quite useful.  It found 165 methods in my system with this pattern.

Hope this helps.
