There is a huge impedance between git repositories and mcz files so we just preferred to put it there like that. If you want to take the effort of moving to it, it will be fine :) > > > 2.

We could do that, too. I think for all downloads of *executable* code we should in addition use https:// in all links so people see that it uses HTTPS early. Marcus

I just had the same issue (like described from Hilaire below) in a new Pharo 6.1 image. It locked the image and left a zombie process. "OSProcessAccessor initialize" did the trick.

If you close Iceberg and open a new Iceberg window, does anything change? If not, the most likely option is that you projects are not at the top level of the repository, but in a subdirectory (such as src/, or projects/). > The only available tab says "Repository is invalid" <edit, clone, forget>.

If that doesnât work, you could try <forget>ing the repository, and then using <Add local clone>. But one it gets confused about the state of the world, Iceberg is pretty stubborn about being set right. Andrew

Unless someone suggests a better idea, I think I'll also modify the ConfigurationOfGlorp on smalltalkhub to raise a deprecation warning for Pharo 7.0 redirecting users to the new repository.

Iceberg: Code directory missing

by Evan Donahue

Hi, I'm trying to push a local project to github via iceberg. I just pulled the stable 70 threaded image & vm pair (70+vmT) and tried to follow the instructions on the iceberg github page, but after successfully cloning the new empty repo on github (I can see the README), the iceberg browser just says "Code directory missing" in the repo status, and it does not seem to give me the option to add packages. The only available tab says "Repository is invalid" <edit, clone, forget>. Anyone know what might have gone wrong? Thanks, Evan
