[Seaside-dev] Load failure of Seaside3 into Squeak 5.2alpha

[Max Leske]

Hi Tim,

I've tested loading of Seaside with all of the methods you described:
- GitHub: works (3.2.5)
- Quick Install: works (3.2.5)
- SqueakMap: works (3.2.5)

I've tested this by creating an up to date Squeak-trunk image with 
SmalltalkCI locally.
Can you give me a step by step instruction on how and wher you obtain 
your 5.2 image until the point where you get an error? I didn't see a 
single one and definitely did not have to hack the platform attributes.


We'll have to update the installation instructions for 3.3 to pull from 
GitHub and not from SmalltalkHub. We'll also have to create a new 
SqueakMap entry that fetches from GitHub.

The "Quick Install" thing seems out of place. Can we change that either 
to the new invocation (the one that will point to GitHub) or, 
preferrably, to point to GitHub instead? I can change the entry on 
seaside.st but I don't know how I'd refer to the SqueakMap entry (or are 
you suggesting to edit the Quick Install script to reference SqueakMap? 
That would also be good, I guess. Still, I wouldn't know how).



Cheers,
Max
