your view might be too technical here. Aren't you the one that does Cargo so dependencies are well known to you? ;) The point is that it just does not work and it doesn't matter whose fault this is. The point is that it is there for a long time and nobody way able to fix it. Everyone including you is working so hard on the future for pharo. But this behaviour is like a slap in the face of everyone working for pharo. You drive away newcomers and people that would like to work with pharo. It is not possible to download an image or vm or something from smalltalkhub reliably. If this is not fully clear let me tell you what I did yesteray. I resurrected an older project and ported it pharo6. In order to download the image I had the execute the curl command 6 times in a row and another two times to get a vm. Then I tried loading the project with metacello and get a debugger because the downloaded archive is corrupt. I need to open the full debugger to see which file it is. Then I need to remove the corrupt file from the package-cache and restart. And yesterdayI had to do this more then 30 (!!!) times until I could load the full project. I think it is completely out of question to wait until is able to fix it. And if the money of the consortium is not enough to pay such a service then we need to put in some more. I'm all ears!
