[squeak-dev] Amusing (kinda) bug in SqueakMap release editor

If one submits a new (or edited) release in the SqueakMap release editor tool that happens to have the word ‘error’ in the notes field then the save ‘fails’ even if it succeeds.

Why? Because the test used in SMReleaseBrowser>>savePackageRelease: carefu;ly checks the response content string for ‘error’ being included. The response appears to include the entire entry sent to the SM server and thus… success is failure. I think it needs more knowledge of what web servers do than I have to solve this. Presumably there is some tighter parsing needed?
