No I'm referring to your comment in the "Darwin Downloads > 3.5.2" mail
> I noticed that after version 3.5.2, the Darwin downloads are in .dmg format so are not working with GsDevKit
I haven't done development on a Mac for several years now, so I didn't relaize that the changes for Darwin were that dramatic, but I'm assuming that there is a programmatic (read `bash shell`) what to install a .dmg file ... if there is a programmatic way to install a .dmg file then the $GS_HOME/bin/downloadGemStone could be modified unpack the .dmg file in the right spot ... if it has to be done manually, then at a minimum the instructions for unpacking manually could be posted to the stdout ...

This project was intended to be the place where the GsDevKit_home support classes were ported from Pharo ... in the st_launcher model the tonel class script files would be housed there as well ... so I would plan on porting the st_launcher scripts to superdoit scripts ... in doing this work myself, I'd know that superdoit was ready for use …

The current code in the GsDevKit_launcher needs to be looked at by me ... I think ... I expect that it will change a fair amount with the use of superDoit instead of st_launcher ...

Leave the rest to me, since much of the installation will be changing quite a bit ... Rowan has changed in the last year or so and superdoit makes things quite a bit simpler ...
BTW, I looked at the error stack, and I'll guess that the FileSystem code used by Rowan might not be up-to-snuff ... I'll make a point of checking that out on our development macs before I release things to you ...

Yes I think that is a good first choice ... it was what I was planning on doing a month ago, but along the way I got sidetracked by switching gears towards superdoit :)

Will do... Im motivated to get you up to speed as quickly as possible before you run out of time :)
I really appreciate you stepping up to the task ...
