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.

However, if I extract the source.st contained in the package and file it in manually, it does not freeze the image.



I belief that I once saw with appropriate Transcript>>#show that something caused an infinite loop.
There are dependencies in overrides I do on kernel classes. They seem to be properly resolved in the source.st file.



It is likely you broke DataStream, and hence #loadDefinitions or friends is looping.
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).


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

Thanks
Stefan
