Hi Dave,
I have added some Montecello packages to match the current running squeaksource.com image:
- The SqueakSource package version that is running on squeaksource.com is
SqueakSource.sscom-dtl.1130 in the source.squeak.org/ss repository. This is a branch (sscom) that captures differences versus the source.squeak.org image.
I adopted the two fixes you had in dtl.1130 into the main SqueakSource branch, and saved it as SqueakSource-cmm.1134.
I noticed that comment on 1130 said it was to avoid Magma requirements. Magma is not and never has been required for SqueakSource -- at least not on purpose. I just looked in the Dependency Browser and noticed a few methods had accidentally creeped in and introduced dependencies on that package, so I removed them and saved it as SqueakSource-cmm.1133. I then committed another version, cmm.1134, with fixes merged from dtl.1130. I'm glad to get those fixes into the production code, but those additions of #startUp and #shutDown were unnecessary (erroneous, actually) because that stuff is already handled in startUp: and shutDown: (the colon'ized versions).
I DID fully consider the nature of squeaksource.com when I fixed up the SqueakSource design years ago, including it's desire to use image persistence and NOT Magma. The way that's done under the new design is:
SSRepository storage: SSImagePersistence new
I tested this on a copy of squeaksource.com on one of my home machines. So if you are running dtl.1130, I hope you'll consider switching over to cmm.1333, instead. It works great and there's no reason we should be forking the code.
- Other support utilities (e.g. things that previously lived in workspaces
in the image) are in package Startup-SqueakSource-dtl.9 in the http://www.squeaksource.com/SSImageInit repository.
I got a debugger when I tried to access those files due to some kind of corruption or difference in date format (I was using 5.3). But I hope we can get any other fixes you have in them integrated into the mainline code!
Thanks, Chris
