[squeak-dev] [ANN] MC Converter 1.1.31

Colin Putney
Hi all,

MC Converter is a simple utility for converting MC 1.x repositories  
into MC 2.0 repositories. It's the tool I used to take MC 2.0 self  
hosting, and I've successfully used it to convert some large-ish  
projects like OmniBrowser. With all the versions of MC 1.x floating  
around out there, however, I do expect that there will be some issues  
and incompatibilities. If you do run into problems converting  
repositories, please let me know so I can help sort them out.

Download it from here:

To convert a repository, do the following:

- build an image that contains both your preferred version of MC 1.x  
and MC 2.0
- create directory repository containing all the MC1 versions you want  
to convert
- file in MCConverter
- write a conversion script - see MDIncrementalConverter>>convertMC2  
for an example
- run the script to convert the repository
- open the new repository in an MC2 repository browser to examine the  
results
