Metacello Github Support on Squeak & Windows

Hi all

to make Squeak on Windows load Metacello repositories from Github without having to install curl and unzip and putting them in your PATH, I have made a version of Metacello-Platform.squeak that uses WebClient and ZipArchive to download and extract the source. I have also made a ConfigurationOfMetacello that changes only the #squeak part to load this updated platform, so you can just replace your install snippet and be done with it. I have tested this also on Linux.

So, to load from Github on Squeak, you can use:

Installer swasource

project: 'SwaUtilities';

addPackage: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello';

install.

((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project version: #'previewBootstrap') load.

and then loading configurations with github:// urls should work.

@Dale: The changes are very small and only for Squeak. Do you think you could merge these into the official repository?

Cheers,

Tim

Tim,

I'd love the changes ... shoot me a pull request!

Hi Tobias, I've not acces to such windows machine right now, but as I recall this couldn't resolve ConfigurationOf is part of a long message pointing to the cache directory c:/Users/myuser/squeak/etc  but I will send you the complete info tomorrow.

Thanks.

Thanks.
