Thanks for the input. I'll may try that for other projects. I have a CI server 
for all of my projects. I need to load a lot of projects into one image in 
order to maintain changes among them. And I have adjustments to do for every 
image that are not done on the CI. You might argue that I could make 
configurations and scripts for all of these. Yes I could but I didn't. The next 
point is that I develop with pharo4 but the product needs to run on pharo3. So 
yes I could also build it for pharo3 and pharo4. I also have some workspaces 
with code snippets I need frequently. This I could script as well. Maybe I'll 
do all of this. At the moment I just want to update to have an actual pharo and 
test it and may give feedback. As it is not possible and the change of an image 
is a burden to me I just do not update. That's all.

That wouldn't work. I save my image often under a different image name because 
I tend to break the image or it crashes. With the changes log not working the 
only feasible way is to make a lot of copies of your images. So symlinking is 
not working that way.

thanks anyway,

Norbert
