Hi Christoph,

the smalltalkhub servers recently had some reconfigurations that are potentially the culprit [1] (just heard back, they are already on it :)). I attached a .sar for bootstrapping based on this issue's [2] suggestion for a new bootstrapping process that should allow you to get a working metacello in the meantime.

Best,
Tom

Hi all,


I did not follow the recent Metacello discussions again, but just now in my fresh Trunk image, Metacello new failed again multiple times saying 'retry with alternate repository failed: ''MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>contentStreamFromEncoding:'''. Is this a known problem? How can I solve this without waiting for any server to be online again?


After this command failed, you cannot even retry it, because #Metacello is no longer a registered class in the image. This is rather inconvenient ...


Best,

Christoph
