Hi,
I want to install the ODBC package via script using Squeak3.9b#7035
SMSqueakMap default installPackageNamed: 'ODBC for Squeak' autoVersion: '2' This works but it loads an old version ODBC-dgd.1.cs.gz.
The newest version ODBC-dgd.10.cs.gz is displayed below the first one in the SqueakMap package loader tree. Maybe this is caused by the similar registration with version number 1.
When I try to load it using the package loader or by evaluating
SMSqueakMap default installPackageNamed: 'ODBC for Squeak' autoVersion: '1'
I get an error telling me that the file is not a gzipped stream. What's confusing is that the SM entry points to
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/uploads/2480/ODBC-dgd.10.cs.gz
and I can access the file when I use a normal web browser. It's also loadable after the download.
Digging in the SqueakMap cache shows that it contains a file ODBC-dgd.10.cs.gz but this only includes the following text:
"error occured retrieving http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/uploads/2480/ODBC-dgd.10.cs.gz: Server minnow.cc.gatech.edu is not responding"
Is SqueakMap having trouble due to the bad registration or is it a bug in the swiki file serving for uploaded files? Any ideas? Can we reregister the package?
Thanks Torsten

My guess (can't check it right now) is that you got the server cached version. So when the owner registered the release the server tried getting that file (a while back) and minnow was not online and it stored that faulty file (without knowing it was an error msg) in the server cache. It also - to make things worse - calculated the SHA checksum on that faulty file. ;)
Open transcript and see what it says when you try to download. It probably says "failed checksum" (since it has the wrong SHA checksum in the model) and something about "using server cache instead".
The SHA checksum and the server cache can be fixed by modifying the download URL for that release using the SM web UI. It is then redownloadaded and rechecksummed. I should add a button to do that - now you need to change URL, save, change it back, save. Or something similar.

PS. I really need to sit down and go through the server cache and associated code to get it more properly working, I know.

Yes - the output is
Fetch: 719 ms Size: 606367 bytes Save checkpoint to disk: 17 ms Full reload from checkpoint: 10810 ms Download from original url (http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/uploads/2480/ODBC-dgd.10.cs.gz) failed with this exception: Incorrect SHA checksum of file from orginal URL Trying server cache instead.

I cant modify the ODBC SM entry (I'm not co-maintainer) but I hope Diego or Germán are able to modify the download URL for the ODBC package and send a message to the list when it works again.
Bye Torsten
Hi:
I've created a new release pointing the dgd-10 version. Tried in a 3.9alpha #7036 and worked ok.
Let my know if work to you also.
Cheers. gsa.

But remember that dgd-10 does not includes the decimal fix.
