Reading another bug report and response, that it's already fixed, just
need an update to be downloaded, i thought, what if make a tool for
checking an updates for fixes?
What i'm thinking of:
- in case of error in release package (such as OB), it can be shown to user as:
error description and additional button 'look for fix'.
When user presses this button, squeak connects to web service and
putting a 'list of updates' request, which containing a package
name/version & image version. In response, web service should answer a
list of fixes released for requested package.
Users then can easily find out, if there any fix for an error which
they just stumbled upon.
A code for catching errors can be very simple, like:
[ .... ] on: Error do: [:e | self errorInRelease: e ]
Concerning web service.. hey , we already having mantis! I think
adding small script which searches through list of issues using
specific criteria and responds them in a simple list, is not very hard
to do.
