Hi Nicolas,

nice catch! I messed this up on March 4, 2020 when cleaning up the Etoys stuff:

Exactly.

Agreed. But just in the Trunk repo. Not the older release repos (squeak53, squeak52, squeak51, ...).

Best,

Hi all,
60Deprecated refers to WindowColorSpec
But WindowColorSpec was in 51Deprecated which is no more in the update map.

So we must clarify a bit...
Deprecated(n) cannot refer to Deprecated(n-1), otherwise we can never
remove the deprecated packages...
I suggest we move WindoColorSpec from 51Deprecated to 60Deprecated and
emit a new version for each of these...
Thoughts?
