It is unusual to the point of not expecting it in squeakland, but
installer is one piece of code that has some basic documentation see:
http://installer.pbwiki.com/Installer (and or the class comment). AFAIK
the refactoring has not effected the api documented, since it was
designed to be refactored from the outset.
for an example of getting the latest see "Installer >> #upgrade"
e.g. typically
"latest package"
Installer ss project: 'Installer'; install: 'Installer-Core'.
"latest package by author kph"
Installer ss project: 'Installer'; install: 'Installer-Core-kph'.
"latest package by kph or mtf"
Installer ss project: 'Installer'; install: #('Installer-Core-kph'
'Installer-Core-mtf').
cheers
