Hi,

As an experiment I'm trying to load Metacello/Seaside in Squeak 4.6.
(using the VM squeak 4.19.2)

The first problem is that when following the instructions from
https://github.com/Metacello/metacello#squeak-older-than-squeak52

I get a connection timeout, perhaps the URL has changed ?

In Squeak 4.6 update: #15117 the following message

Installer-Core:Installer -> class methods -> repositories

is implemented as:

gemsource
        ^ self monticello http: 'http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss'

When I try it with Squeak 6.0alpha latest update: #20077 it uses the URL

http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/metacello

So when I change in 4.6 the gemsource method to:

Installer-Core:Installer -> class methods -> repositories

gemsource

        ^ self monticello http: 'http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss'

it seems to give better results.

In fact with that URL (I have no idea whether it is correct) I get lots
of messages ending with:

Loaded -> Metacello-FileTree-dkh.29 --- http://seaside.gemtalksystems.com/ss/metacello --- cache
Loaded -> Metacello-GitHub-dkh.29 --- http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main --- cache
Evaluated -> 1.0-beta.32.3 [ConfigurationOfMetacello] >> metacelloPrimeRegistry
...finished 1.0-beta.32.3


If I try it in a web browser (not in Squeak), then
the URL http://seaside.gemstone.com/ss also seems to hang,
so this is perhaps just the wrong URL or some redirection not working anymore.

The answer to this question is in the Git changelogs of "metacello";
it can be found with git log in the Metacello git sources:

date '29 July 2014' time '2:06:

12.123 pm' author 'tfel' ancestors ((name 'ConfigurationOfMetacello-dkh.796' mes
sage 'Convert repository urls from seaside.gemstone.com to seaside.gemtalksystem
s.com'

So the Squeak4.6 image could also convert the URL in the gemsource
method from seaside.gemstone.com to seaside.gemtalksystems.com ...

In the Squeak4.6 image the old URL is still being used.

On the other hand perhaps it's better to keep it as it was, as this
is the consequence of an incompatible change at the gemstome side.
