Hi, In case someone can use it: I used Peters git migration tool for ...
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/LDAP/
... and put it to:
https://github.com/a2b-alb/PharoExtras-LDAP

I don't know if this is the right place or if you would rather have it
under ...
https://github.com/pharo-contributions/
... or somewhere else.

------------- here the question:
I started trying to do the same migration process for ...
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pier/Pier3
... but I failed on errors loading older mcz files:

"instance of ByteString did not understand #peek"
on: MCMczReader >> contentsForMember:
(ZnInvalidUTF8: Illegal leading byte for utf-8 encoding)

Is this wrong encoding or corrupted files ?
How to treat these files ? -> Is just ignoring this majority of failing
mcz files via migration ignoredFileNames: #()
ok ?

-------------
As a workaround I then left the history versions behind and took only
the newest mcz files. But I am not sure which package version "is in
harmony" with the other ones...�� ;-)
-> While trying out which versions of the ConfigurationOfPier3 load in a
p7 image only the #stable one loaded without problems. The newer ones
didn't.

I did this by first loading as much pier3 dependencies (seaside,
magritte, ...) from the new github repos. So I can then say ...
onConflict: [ :e | e useLoaded ];
... when loading pier3 from smaltalkhub.

Can someone who knows pier3 better than me, give me a hint on which
package versions combinations are the ones to go with ?
-> Is to just start with the newest mcz files the way to go? Or should I
use the #stable ConfigurationOfPier3 ?

best,
Albrecht
