There, you can also read more about our future plans and why there is no changeset available yet.
Nathanael, thanks for making this available!
You say on your page: --- Another reason is that filing in traits requires recompilation of the whole system. This is because we need to add some instance variables to ClassDescription and because we need to generate some data to fill the caches for the incremental reasoning. Unfortunately, the kernel (resp. the ClassBuilder) of Squeak is broken for at least half of the (inofficial) versions since Squeak 3.2, and it is also broken for the latest version of Squeak 3.4 (state January 31). Thus, it would not be possible to load a traits changeset into such an image even if it would exist. ---
Can you describe the ClassBuilder bug in such a way that we could fix it? Or maybe I've missed the bug report...
Thanks,
