Updating Squeak 4.5 RC3

Hi Folks,

So testing out the RC3 image and if I select the "Update Squeak" menu item it appears to attempt to connect source.squeak.org but ends up popping up a modal dialog stating that it was "Unable to retrieve updates from remote repository". I would have expected that it would instead say that there are no updates to be found, rather than it can't retrieve them.

Is this expected behaviour, a sign of a misconfiguration on the server, or something in the image itself?

Thanks for your time,

Jeff

Going to source.squeak.org/squeak45 in my browser is fully functional though, running on the same box with the same connection.

It was due to the fact I had not put out an update.mcm in the
'squeak45' repository yet.

That's done now, update should be good to go.

Thanks for the reminder Jeff.
