Hi Pavel,

Which means command like these:

cd pharo; mkdir filetree; cd filetree; wget -O - https://api.github.com/repos/dalehenrich/filetree/tarball/pharo6.0_dev | tar xz --strip-components=1

./pharo-cli pharo/Pharo.image --no-default-preferences eval --save Metacello new baseline: \'FileTree\'\; repository: \'filetree:///`pwd`/pharo/filetree/repository\'\; load: \'Git\'.

recovering the tarball can be a lot faster than doing a local clone, and FileTree is not interested in the git history anyway...

Hi,

our current Compression package does not support Zip64 which is limiting us in usage of Metacello together with Git. When we use the Metacello for installing of a baseline like:

Metacello new

�� baseline: 'IDE';

�� repository: 'github://guillep/pharo-core';

�� load.

then the Metacello downloads the corresponding archive from Github. However the standard Zip archives have count limit of 65535 members but the pharo-core repository and some others contain much more than this (pharo-core has 125021 files). The Zip64 extension is used for them during compression which we cannot read now.

So if you will see Error: bad signature 16r... at position ..., then it has this reason. The workaround for now is to load projects from a local clone of such big repositories.

Cheers,
