Where is Color-Extras.st in Cuis6-2 please ? #15

Closed cstes closed 7 months ago

cstes commented 7 months ago

I'm reporting this issue in 3 places: Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev, Cuis6-2 and hilaire/drgeo.

I'm following the instructions from hilaire/drgeo which is using Cuis6-2

git clone https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis6-2 It seems the hilaire/drgeo instructions are based on Cuis6-2 and not on the rolling release 6.3 (Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev).

On Cuis6-2 when I try to load the package SVG (for example using Feature: require:'SVG'') or using the menu with install Package, I get an error:

Unable to find package Color-Extras

Now it appears that Color-Extras.pkg.st exists in Cuis 6.3 rolling release under:

Packages/Features/Color-Extras.pck.st

Also the documentation clearly shows Color-Extras loaded at 9.4 in the Cuis Documentation

https://cuis-smalltalk.github.io/TheCuisBook/The-Package.html

Unfortunately I do not seem to have Color-Extras.pkg.st in Cuis6-2.

Is this a bug in SVG, Cuis6-2, or in Dr-Geo ? Perhaps it could be argued that Dr-Geo should be using the rolling release Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev (6.3) instead of Cuis 6.2 ?? Or is this a bug in the SVG package ?

Thanks! David Stes

From my understanding the 6.3 stable release miss several packages. One option to try is to install the Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev repo as well, that way the missing packages will be there too.
