Thank you again. I also watched the ESUG video of "Whatever you wanted to know 
about metacello and you were afraid to ask" and read the chapter on PBE2, it 
does seem a bit complicated but not hard to understand. Looks simple enough.

Subject: Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo fails to update
 
have a look a the softwareUpdater class.

in essence 
    you have a list of files
        pha-1232.cs
        pha-1233.cs
        
    …

    then in the pha-1232.cs you get any smalltalk code

for Pharo, you get instructions to kick a script (method of ScriptLoader) 
that will load a list of packages.
