Hi
I wanted to see if I can load a complete configuration but I could not find how I can get a MC configuration.
For now, the best way to get the "current" MCConfiguration is to open the most recent changeset which defines one, which is update #6676.
You can select most of the DoIt in that changeset, starting with "MCConfiguration fromArray: #( ..." up to near the end, not including the "upgrade" message.
Or, just replace "upgrade" with "browse", select all and do it.
Then you would send #updateFromRepositories (to get the latest version numbers) and then #upgrade (to install these latest packages) to this instance. So, like this:
mcmap := MCConfiguration fromArray: #(repository (...) dependency (...) ...). mcmap updateFromRepositories. mcmap upgrade.
Or, in the configuration browser, click the "upgrade" and "exec" buttons.
Of course, this won't work at the moment because the .mcd generation is currently not working on the SqueakSource server, which we need to fix. To work around that for now, you could hack MCConfiguration versionNamed:for:from: to comment out the entire second statement, which tried to retrieve the .mcd file, so that it just downloads the whole .mcz intead
So you still haven't figured out the squeak source server problem? Is there anything I could do?
I opened the configuration browser but I could not figure where I could get a configuration or the latest stable configuration for example.
Yeah, it would be good to have some way to get the current or "latest stable" configuration somehow from the MCConfiguration browser. We will probably want to add something like that once we get going.
However, there is no such thing as THE configuration, so the config browser might not be the best place to put the option. Having a menu entry somewhere to browse the "system configuration" would make much more sense.
