Dear List,
I dug in the Monticello melting-pot to find where the strange behavior
some of you are encountering comes from.
**The problem**
The bug come from the "diffy versions". MC tries to save in PharoInbox
a "diffy" version of your package. As far as I understood, a "diffy"
version is a version of your package that contains just a delta from
an ancestor. In theory this looks nice, but for some reasons it
behaves incorrectly (the zip file is not probably created, it cannot
be decompressed)
**How to solve it**
Recently (since 10183), the http repository for PharoInbox is set to
store version in a diffy mode. You can identity http repository that
are set that way:
MCHttpRepository allInstances select: [:mc | mc alwaysStoreDiffs]
The problem I mentioned in my previous email disappear symply by doing
(MCHttpRepository allInstances select: [:mc | mc alwaysStoreDiffs])
do: [:mc | mc doNotAlwaysStoreDiffs]
After having executed the last snippet, storing packages in PharoInbox
will not appear empty.
What is left to be done, is why this diffy mechanism does not work as
expected. But I feel that we should not use it anyway since the
ancestor link is not alway kept and is incorrectly handled (e.g.,
cross-repository ancestors) and MC2 is now in the pipeline.
Cheers,
Alexandre
