If you provide the script (i.e. version(s)) that you used and the platform(s) you successfully loaded/used the project on, I will update the configs...

We should have a central place to share these custom load scripts and results so that they can be mined by config maintainers.

prob would crowd the Metacello list too much.

maybe Dale will create a special list for it.

I'll cc the Metacello list...

Absolutely! Two things about that:
* Metacello has no magic. Ultimately, what you correctly suggest requires
someone to test a project on a new platform and update the config... coming
soon and desperately needed: tools to help this process...
* we're all learning how to use Metacello... even as it evolves underneath
us!

If you experience something other than above, please post the specific
example so we can examine the configs and see what's going on...

Re: start thinking on summer release of Pharo 1.4

ConfigurationOfOldAlien (yeah, that's the name) loads properly in 1.4 (and loads also FFI)

Is in squeaksource.com/Alien

reason of that configuration is that Luc and Noury splitted Alien packages (IMHO, correctly), but then Eliot continue working in his new version of FFI with callbacks, etc, and now versions does not match. I created the ConfigurationOfOldAlien (unsplitted) who, curiously, loads new changes from Eliot :)
