Ok, perfect. I will open another thread for this then.

Yes, I am agree. Can someone do this please? I have no idea how to do it
neither I have the rights.

I just to pick up the latest dev and web image from the website evaluate

Gofer it
         wiresong: 'ob';
         package: 'OB-Refactory';
         revert


save it and upload it again.

In addition, we have to take a decision here:

1) Remove O2 from the script until O2 has NO dependencies and overrides in
OB and until O2 loads perfectly in a core image without anything about OB.
Those who want to use it anyway, can install by their self.
2) Add this piece of hack to our script.

Opinions ?

You are welcome. I don't pretend Pharo to be rock solid. But I pretend not
to have those errors were you cannot even browse a class or right click on
the code.

Cheers
