I just noticed that the preference wizard for setting up Squeak 5.3
invites the user to install a Metacello configuration that was intended to accommodate some earlier Pharo version, which naturally is obsolete anyhow. I'd like to fix this for the Squeak release. I know it's late for me to be noticing this, but does anyone mind if I move MonticelloConfigurations-dtl.158 and PreferenceBrowser-dtl.99 to trunk so that it will be fixed for the release?

I'd like to fix this for the Squeak release. Definitely fix it. Bugs is what we crush at this stage. I'm a bit puzzled why loading metacello would included in the initial setup whizzard though; it seems a bit 'advanced' (maybe not the right term) to be in something to help newcomers get started. tim -- tim Rowledge; [hidden email]; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Asking whether machines can think is like asking whether submarines can swim. |

Supposedly because it is often needed to install from GitHub. Remember the lengthy discussion about the Do menu entry that installed it? |

Hi Dave. Sure. Yet, would it be possible to use the shorter Installer API if not Metacello? Something like this: Installer ss project: 'OSProcess'; install. Better not expose the Monticello API in the wizard ... Best, Marcel

Remember the > lengthy discussion about the Do menu entry that installed it? In this case, it is an understandable mistake. The SqueakSource page for OSProcess does not explain what to download, and does not provide a link back to the original OSProcess home page at https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/708, so someone looking at it would see the ConfigurationOfOSProcess entry and quite reasonably think that they should use it. I'll fix that. Dave |

The first is unrelated, but a cleanup, and I already had it in the version hisitory so it comes along for the ride.

Metacello is not needed, that was just a configuration to support an earlier Pharo version. Dave |
