Chris,

the plan was to install Maui in a 5.3 image, and then compare the behaviour between the 5.3 and the 6.0 version of the Squeak image.

and when opening the debugger:

But I'm running into the same problem with Ma-Base as in the 6.0 image. Could it be I need an older version of the VM also?

Thanks,

Edwin Ancaer

Hi Edwin,

Maui hasn't been ported to 6.0.  I did just successuflly load the head version from SqueakMap by selecting "Accept Rest" for every merge request.  There were several, but after it was all loaded, "Object new maui" actually worked, including dragging a message to it.  I have to say, given how many changes there were between 5.3 and 6.0, I'm pretty amazed by that.

However, the Magma suite including Maui is still only supported in 5.3.  They may appear to work in 6.0 (even if you selected "Reject Rest" during the merge requests), but most likely, without a conscious porting effort, there would be alligators waiting.

But if you do decide to brave the waters please share your experience!

Regards,
  Chris

Hello,

I wanted to load Maui from SqueakMap but as I'm running  a 6.0 image, there is no corresponding Maui verson in squeakmap. 

I first tried to load version 1.53, but that is giving following error:

Then I tried the Head version, but that proposes met to merge code. Not being a specialist, I don't want to rush into this. 
Is it safe for the other applications in the image to start changing existing code? Which of the proposed options can I take best?....

Is there any chance for a Maui version for the 6.0 image, and if not, what is the best option for the proposed merges?

Please don't see this as a complaint. Free time is scarce for everybody, so "We just don't have the time to keep up with all this" is a valid answer for me.
 
Kind regards,
