to try the new way. What should I do?
Just download a new version or reclone? May be I will refork and
reclone to be sure.

Hi Esteban,
I had no problems following the process (Ubuntu 16.04,
Pharo7.0-32bit-e175bc2.image, fogbugz 20872). :-)
I guess that you have already thought of this, but... Is there any
reason why we can't just put up a dialog asking for the user's github
credentials and fogbugz issue number and then automatically clone the
repository, configure the upstream remote and create the issue branch.
That would remove most of the remaining manual steps.
I realise that it only works for option 1, although where people
configure a common pharo-local, it could check for a pre-existing
clone and use that one.
"I realise��� means you tried and it didn���t work?
because in my tests it worked as good as the first one (I tested on windows), but that may need to be ���re-validated��� :)
Esteban
Cheers,
Alistair

Hi!
I���m working on simplifying the contribution process, after collecting
opinions/experiences last couple of months.
As you know, Pharo contribution process is still WIP and we aim to have it
as smooth as possible for Pharo 7.0 release. Now, after observe the idea of
the ���system repositories��� was a bad idea because it introduced extra and non
standard ���path��� to contribution, I managed to remove that to reestablish
���the regular way���: you will now need to add pharo repository just as any
other repository you add, by cloning or adding local repository.
I took Guille���s doc and moved it to pharo project (it does not has sense to
have it living in a contributor���s repository when is so important). You can
find it here:
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/wiki/Contribute-a-fix-to-Pharo
This document is also updated to reveal this new process, please read it.
How to update your startup scripts?
Some people has added startup scripts to easy the first part of
contribution. Instead enabling system repositories, etc. you now need to
replace that with this:
(IceRepositoryCreator new
location: '/path/to/pharo-project/pharo' asFileReference;
subdirectory: 'src';
createRepository)
register
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE��� take a moment to read and try the document. Is very
important that document reflects new process and works reliable in different
scenarios (I validated it on macOS and Windows, and assumed it worked fine
on linux but you know��� bad assumptions is the base of failure ;) )
I���m eager to hear your feedback and continue enhancing the process.
(yes, Stef, I know UI is still cumbersome��� I���m working on that :) )
cheers!
Esteban
