errors during file in of magma to Cuis

I got Magma tester-cmm.368.mcz from squeak source, extracted the
source.st file inside of it, and attempted to file source.st into a Cuis
2.7 image.

This fails early on because the file has
!MagmaRepositoryController methodsFor: '*magma tester' stamp: 'cmm 9/6/2007 21:44'!
very early on. MagmaRepositoryController is undefined.

I presume that either the Monticello machinery, or the way mainline
squeak handles this, makes this OK in the usual way of doing things.

Guessing that the issue might simply be one of dependencies, I tried the
same steps with Magma client-cmm.490.st. That failed similary with
MaVariableWordBuffer.

Possibly resequencing the input so that the class definitions occur
first would work around this problem. I'm a little surprised the
changesets aren't in that form already.

Mostly these tests were in an image that included OSProcess. I did one
test in a clean image; it failed the same way.

My hope was that the file in's would work, that OSProcess would be good
enough to run the magma tests, and that the magma tests would pass.

Ross,
Great that you are doing these tests of unpacking Monticello files and
trying to load things into Cuis.

I'am interested in your findings. Thank you for reporting this to the list.

Hi Ross, your first instinct was right. You need to load the
pre-requisite packages first, but you just did not go far enough down
the prerequisite tree. Magma client has several of its own pre-reqs..

Quick question: Does Cuis support installation of SAR files? If so,
you might try installing the latest SAR file downloadable from
SqueakMap.

Even if not, the SAR file has all of the packages and a plain-text
loadable script inside to load them all in sequence.

The full package list is also in the 1.1r2 announcement:

HTH,

I pointed it at a downloaded sar file and it didn't seem to know what
too do.

I guess the MC packages have the information, or perhaps just the
definitions, in the big bin file they contain.
