Stef,

An easy one is to try:

ScriptLoader
        loadLatestPackage:'OSProcess' fromSqueaksource:'OSProcess';
        loadLatestPackage:'Tests-OSProcess' fromSqueaksource:'OSProcess';       
        loadLatestPackage:'CommandShell'        fromSqueaksource:'CommandShell'.


For the full effect, leave deprecation warnings activated; even with these 
warnings disabled, you should be stopped after just enough time to really whack 
up an automated load.


Citezen turns out to be more interesting.  The Wiki says to evaluate

  Installer ss project: 'Citezen'; install: 'Citezen-Loader'.

12.2 is missing Installer, which is no doubt in the name of progress.  A quick 
look at Gofer lead me to try

Gofer new
        squeaksource:'Citezen';
        package:'Citezen-Loader';
        load.

This installs Installer  :)  Now have a look at #newForWin32; note that it 
answers RioLocalDosExecutive, not RioLocalDosExecutive new.  The last time I 
tried such an image, I could not get it to load on Windows until I loaded it on 
another platform, added the #new, and then reloaded it.  The poor folks stuck 
with Windows have enough to worry about ;)

I realize this is not Pharo's fault, but it is Pharo's problem, and hence 
**our** problem (aka Error 33).

Bill

I think that we should have a group of people controling integration.

apparently this is not pharo's fault.

Bill what we are trying to  with metacello is to have configuration of working 
packages.

Yes

Now can you report your problem is a way that we can reproduce them?
