New issue 185 by [hidden email]: Bootstrapping broken on Squeak 4.4,  
because URL redirects do not seem to work for monticello.
http://code.google.com/p/metacello/issues/detail?id=185

The URL changes cause bootstrapping problems with Metacello.
I downloaded a fresh Squeak 4.4 all-in-one, and the system had a problem  
with the redirect on the URL.  
(http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/metacello/)
It was not able to access the monticello repository that way.
And only debugging told me what's wrong.

Would be great to get an error message if bootstrapping fails. Now, you  
just get #dnu on nil.

I suppose, the ConfigurationOf template would need to be adapted to change  
this line in #project
   (self class baseConfigurationClassIfAbsent: []) ensureMetacello.
   The empty block should probably get some error signaling of sorts.

And, I suppose that already happened, the URLs in the template would need  
to be changed, as in all configurations *sigh*.

Note that an updated 4.4's `Installer ss3` will point to the new location.  
That doesn't affect, of course, Squeak's inability to follow the  
redirection. I'll raise that as a bug in Squeak's bugtracker.

Frank,

http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/metacello/ is the correct url, so I  
assume that you meant to say that Squeak was having trouble with the  
redeirects for this url http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello/?

It was a real surprise for me that Squeak didn't follow redirects for  
Monticello urls ... I think that that is a bug in Squeak. There are  
literally hundreds of configurations that would have to be hand editted it  
is more efficient to fix the bug in one place.

For SS3 I was able to have VMware change the DNS for ss3.gemstone.com and  
skip the redirects.

I intend to do the same for seaside.gemstone.com, but I needed to check  
with another engineer and he was out of the office early in the month and  
I've been out of the office the last week or so ... I should be able to get  
the request in this week and the DNS itself will get changed by the end of  
the week ...

So about the time you will be able to put the url redirects back into  
Squeak the problem will have gone away:(
