Ahh.. Magma isn't doing it for me. The first step fails:
MagmaRepositoryController create: '/home/mikevdg/sq/myRepository.magma' root: Dictionary new.
I don't know how to cut&paste a stack dump, but it fails first with an error: "MessageNotUnderstood: binary", and the offending message send seems to be in "MaLargeCollectionOfIntegers>>create:" which looks like this:
create: fileNameString file _ (FileStream concreteStream new open: fileNameString forWrite: true) binary. self writeHeader
(FileStream concreteStream new) is a StandardFileStream, and the "binary" method seems to exist in that class.
I've got.. let me see.. a highly modified 3.6 alpha image, updated, with all sorts of things installed (Zurgle is just plain cool :-) ), running on a Debian unstable system. I've also tried it on the 3.5 image downloaded a few minutes ago from the website; same behaviour. If I keep trying to get Magma going, then I just keep getting other errors.
What is the current status of Magma (on SqueakMap)? Does it work for other people?
