[squeak-dev] Unexpected merge conflict for postscripts in the update stream

Hi all --

Sure. Then, why is our CI able to update from 19432 (~April 2020) to 20916 (today) without merge conflicts in postscripts so far? I suspect that Christoph might have had an uncommited changed postscript in his local image?

Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

Appending stuff to the scripts is bad practice because the whole block
will be evaluated every time. And most of the time those scripts are
intended to be run only once.

However, there should always be a new update map when a script is changed.
