[squeak-dev] Fwd: Squeak6.0 alpha, install, add additional stuff--Metacello, Git, OSProcess, Grift, Malfeascance, etc fails due to smaltalkhub be bye-bye

It was working for me as of this weekend also.

If Timothy feels inspired, I could definitely use the help figuring out 
how to update the ConfigurationOfFileTree to use the 2016 commits from 
@krono as described in my recent post to the list.

Without this 2016 fix, the Grease repo doesn't load in Squeak's 
Monticello Browser, so efforts to work on the Seaside compatibility with 
Squeak (a.k.a., Grease) likely won't be fruitful.

I view this operation as rather complex, so could definitely use advice. 
  I don't know if it's a question of asking Dale to cherry-pick these 
commits into the 'master' branch, or update the spec for Squeak, or 
both, or neither.  It's also possible (*but unlikely*) that all of this 
has been done in /one/ repo, but that the 'Installer 
ensureRecentMetacello' is using some /other/ repo somewhere which 
contains an older spec or baseline missing these 2016 updates.

Thanks,
Another Tim
