Here's a question related to PackageInfo and Monticello.
I've also asked this question on the (moderated) Cuis mailing list.
The Cuis Help system on code management says:
"More details about how PackageInfo decides what code belongs in a package are available at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/3329 .
To install packages (.pck.st files) in Cuis, use the FileList, navigate to the appropriate directory (on disk, or in a GitHub repository, etc), select the package file and click on [Install Package]."
My question is whether there is a way to get PackageInfo .pkg.st files, from Monticello packages.
I downloaded the Monticello package DoItFirst-System-Support-dtl.14.mcz and unzip'ed the file, from the UNIX command line.
This results in some files in a directory but unfortunately without .pkg.st :
bash-4.4$ find . . ./version ./snapshot.bin ./package ./DoItFirst-System-Support-dtl.14.mcz ./snapshot ./snapshot/source.st
I was hoping to be able to fileIn the snapshot/source.st file, or to use another method to add this package to Cuis.
Because I don't see a .pck.st file, I am trying to fileIn the source.st.
Assuming the idea to fileIn the snapshot/source.st file is correct, I tried to fileIn the source.st file, however this fails.
The initalize method of the DoItFirst class is doing:
initialize Smalltalk addToStartUpList: self before: SmallInteger.
When I try to load this class in a Cuis smalltalk image, it complains that the Smalltalk class in Cuis doesNotUnderstand addToStartUpList: before:
However my main question is generally speaking whether it is possible to load Monticello packages into Squeak, for example by a method (unknown to me) to create .pkg.st files.
Thanks! David Stes
