I've uploaded a list from squeak 3.10.2 (sq7159) created from Stef's code snippet. So my take is this is a complaint about the internal packaging of the methods. The resolution comes with deciding how squeak is organized/stored/maintained. Which you and matthew (packages) and Colin (MC2) are redoing. IMHO the problem comes from the overloading of the catagories function with the packaging responsabilities. I think many were more comfortable when catagories were an informal organizing of methods. Now that they are formal packaging tools it is a lot more difficult to use them. o They MUST be kept in sync with the packages when used as extentions. o If the name is hypenated does it refer to a sepate file or is it part of the the root name. o If the name is multi-hypenated, the above question applies at each hypen boundry. If code is extention catagoried does that imply that it is maintained in a package on squeaksource somewhere? Or has it been put into the image with a change set. Stef's 3.9 insisted on mostly everything being in a mcz package. The 3.10 team I think relaxed this requirement. And 3.10 has been release with "dirty" MC packages. And probably some that are not in packages. ======= As for the disposition of this report, I agree it is not specific enough to have a clear fix. And I suspect even if it were clear the fix would prove elusive. So resolving the report as cannot/will not fix is probably appropriate. Hth, Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace
