About loading Grease into Squeak6.0alpha latest update: #17402 - Squeak-dev

28 Sep 2017


      Hello
FYI: To load Grease [1] into Squeak6.0alpha latest update: #17402 I
had to trick Metacello into assuming to have a Squeak 5.1 image [2].
Then
    (ConfigurationOfGrease project version: #stable) load
went fine.
A fix for Squeak6.0a is needed for the Metacello method in [2].
Kind regards
Hannes Hirzel
