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).

Which is why it's safe to do non-ascii code in mcz as long as you can read from the .bin (As WideStrings are decoded properly), otherwise the .sources will be read as latin1, though they weren't written as such if any of the methods contained non-latin1, iirc.
