Re: Metacello questions

Dale
Andreas,

You have bumped into a bug in Metacello 1.0-beta.26. I discovered the bug a couple of weeks ago while using Metacello in GLASS so the bug is fixed in Metacello 1.0-beta.26.1. 1.0-beta.26.1 is under development (#development blessing) so is not loaded by #latestVersion. I am a couple of days away from releasing 1.0-beta.26.1 but if you want to try it out, you can explicitly load 1.0-beta.26.1 with this expression:

  (ConfigurationOfMetacello project version: '1.0-beta.26.1') load

The bug was triggered because ConfigurationOfWebClient uses an #atomic load and ConfigurationOfHelpBrowser uses #linear loads ... the help browser packages were missed in the transition.

The default configuration template sets the loadType to #linear, so you hit this specifically because you didn't use the template, which relates to your other questions so I'll answer them in another letter.

| Tried both on Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.0 with the same results. Here is
|
| the script for Squeak:
|
| (Installer repository: 'http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss/metacello)
| install: 'ConfigurationOfMetacello'.
| (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMetacello) project latestVersion load.
|
| (Installer repository:
| 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository)
| install: 'ConfigurationOfWebClient'.
| (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfWebClient) project latestVersion load.
|
|
| Again, the strange thing is that it 'fetches' the right files but
| doesn't load them.
