[Cuis-dev] Compression and SqueakCompatibility packages fail to load

[Mariano Montone]

Hi,

I would apply your "bad" solution, as lots of packages depend on 
Compression right now and can't be used in the new image.

Perhaps then create an issue in Cuis issue tracker with the task of 
improving/making right Compression for later.
