[Glass] [Metacello] Name not found: 'OB-Metacello'

[Dale Henrichs]

So Johan, this reference to OB-Metacello is basically a configuration error
... it is no longer valid to reference the package OB-Metacello from GLASS
once you have loaded a newer version of Metacello into the image that no
longer manages OB-Metacello ... and I think that all that is necessary is
that 'Metacello Tools' be removed from the 'Dev' group and 'Bob should be
your uncle' ...


Is there a reason that you are using GLASS 1.0-beta.9? I would be inclined
to create a 1.0-beta.9.2 with this change ... but you'd probably need to
upgrade ... the alternative to that would be to create a 1.0-beta.9.0.1
(??) that has this change ...

BTW, I think I've seen your "many more configurations and packages are
being loaded" and I'm looking into it ...

Dale
