Stable releases should only include well tested and reviewed code.
That's why 6.2 stable has only a small set of packages. I'm afraid
that progress here could be slow. Maybe we still need to find ways
to handle "community supported code". The codebase of Cuis + all the
packages is too large for me to audit it. (That's of course the
whole point of having a small image).<br>
<br>
What I suggest is taking not the latest commit of
SqueakCompatibility and such packages, but the last commit before
the release was done. For SqueakCompatibility it would be
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/fcbe2ec8d5918b4505b136f484fa1855679f222d">https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/commit/fcbe2ec8d5918b4505b136f484fa1855679f222d</a><br>
<br>
Still, why do you need SqueakCompatibility? DrGeo is right now Cuis
based. I think it would be best not to depend on any Squeak idiom.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
