But a current SqueakMap refresh in 4.3 has almost none of the prior applications in it any more. It's been neglected too by the community.
Correction: With the "Safe To Install" filter turned on by default.
Given that 4.3 is 3 days old, isn't that to be expected? Quoting from Swiki (http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2726),
"With Squeak 4.2, the SqueakMap Catalog opens without the rot showing. Whenever a new version of Squeak is released, all of the packages that were visible in the list in the prior version no longer appear in the new version. This is because the SqueakMap process requires authors to re-designate their applications as working in the new Squeak release."
Now one could have some kind of server sitting somewhere taking a fresh image and running install scripts with some kind of script verifying that the package loaded correctly (say, by running the package's tests), and on a green light marking the SM package as "Safe To Install". But at any rate, right now it's up to the package owner to perform this task.
