the #compile:classified: method is indeed missing

so I ran the commands, and they both ran without errors

i noticed my copy was a bit behind the times:
   Updating GsDevKit_home
>>>>>>
Already on 'master'
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 58 commits.

running project new works "better" - but this time I got an error message
back from git because user & email were not set.

So I fixed that, manually removed the project, re-ran "project new" and now
I appear to have a working project.

....but even after reading the pdf doc on metacello from the pharo book --
I dont know how to add stuff to the project.  It seems I need a
ConfiigurationOf<myProject> class to be created somewhere... or I need to
know how to edit the #baseline: method to add existing categories.

I have an existing category named 'Route-Events' with 4 classes.

So I changed the #baseline: method from
baseline: spec
    <baseline>
    spec for: #'common' do: [
        spec package: 'RouteEvent-Core'.
    ].


to:
baseline: spec
    <baseline>
    spec for: #'common' do: [
        spec package: 'RouteEvent-Core';
            package: 'Route-Events' with: [ spec requires: #(
'RouteEvent-Core')].

        spec group: 'default' with: #('RouteEvent-Core' 'Route-Event')
    ].

then I tried refreshing and re-opening the project list window, but I cant
get 'browse categories' or 'browse classes' from the project window to
display the additional classes or the new category.

what am I missing here?
