Hi:

I got here a Monticello package that does not properly load using the Metacello configuration. The image freezes and cmd+. does not pop up a debugger anymore.

 

Is there a way to force Monticello/Metacello to fall back on the included source instead of using the binary snapshot? (I guess that is going wrong for some reason).

Not very elegant, but you can delete the .bin from the .mcz file, and it should fall back to importing from sources.

The binary snapshot is only for the definitions. The source is always get from the .sources.

I'm not sure what you mean, but the source compiled when you install an MCDefinition, is taken from the .bin if that was the source of it. (its source instvar is a string, not a pointer to source location in .sources file).

It seems I was wrong. All I wanted to say is that the final representation of code (classes,  compiled methods, etc) are compiled from source code. The snapshot does not include a "binary represenation of the code". The code is always needed. What I thought is that it was always from sources.st , but you say it can be from the bin as well.
