OK. That's an interesting idea. I won't argue that. I will argue that in
the main Installer works. The functions you've found errors for don't
work, but I don't think they are used much. A good example of this is
FTP support in FileList. Totally broken. But nobody seems to miss it.
Some things are higher priority than others.
> Trunk started out with an old version of Installer for no good reason
and has diverged since then.
There are lots of things that happen around here for no good reason.
It's not a conspiracy just a community.
> A merge of Trunk Installer with the one on squeaksource is needed to
bring Trunk to the latest. A bit of work is needed to bring Trunk up to
the latest state and to get the tests working.
Great. That sounds like a plan. Would you like to be the maintainer for
Installer?
