Hi doug
I got a look at the image. Thanks for the work. Now how do we proceed?
- Do we try to shrink a bit the packages because some of them are huge?
- Do we try to get used to it by treating the pending fixes first?
Probably we should just work on a few pending fixes first, so we get used to the new process.
- to create a new package should I create a project on
source.squeakfoundation.org? I guess so.
Would this be for one of the 35 packages which doesn't have a master repository yet? (such as System or Kernel) We might want to wait on that for a bit until we know who will be the maintainers.
- I gave a try I loaded 6517KCPRemoveComponent1.cs and republish Morphic. - I got an error HTTP unauthorized 401 at the end of the publish
Ah, here you just need to click on the 39a repository in the right pane of the MC browser and "edit repository info" to include your source.sqf.org userid and password. Since you are set as a developer on the 39a project, you should then have access to save/publish a new version.
I guess we can do a little bit of testing like this but we shouldn't go too crazy with a lot of changes directly in the 39a repository right away. As an admin, it looks like I have access to delete versions, so if there's an obvious mistake, we can always clean it up.
- I removed from the 6517KCPRemoveComponent1 from update.list (this
one a really simple clean that I did and that was in the 3.9 alpha stream).
Actually you don't have to worry about editing any of that old stuff in updates.list now, I marked that whole section of the file as "#Squeak3.9alphaold" so all of those 6517 etc updates are now orphaned.
- then does it means that I should recreate a new cs configuration
changing Morphic-dew.1 into Morphic-sd.2?
Actually no, we only need to do that if we have a DoIt which has to go in the image as an update. See Andreas' original email listed on this page: http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/5718
We should just simply load all of the latest packages after checking the update stream. Probably we should directly tweak the "update code from server" command so that this is done automatically after checking the update stream. Um, Andreas mentions that the latest packages should be loaded in a "well-defined order", but I'm not sure where that is defined or how it is done. Is the most recent MCConfiguration load order still available?
