Re: [Alphacocoa-devel] update problems

[Bernard D. <bde...@or...>]

Hi Joachim,
happy new year!

I need more input to debug this updating problem. I’m surprised that you have a message related to vcsRun(done) because the updating process does not use the svn console any longer. Furthermore there is no such command as alpha::restartAlpha and I can’t figure out where it comes from.
So I have two questions:
- how did you trigger the developer checkout (is it just by selecting the appropriate command from the "Update Alpha" menu) ?
- if the new mechanism got an error, you should have something in the file ~/Library/Logs/AlphaTcl/upgradeAlpha.log. Is there something useful therein ?

Now, regarding the relaunch issue, it just means that the core has to be recompiled. As a workaround, you could try to modify the minCoreVersion variable in the file AlphaVersionInfo.tcl and set it to 9.0.2:
    variable minCoreVersion 9.0.2
This will avoid the annoying message about Alpha being too old, but I can’t guarantee that everything will work properly since the core would be left unchanged.

Cheers,
Bernard
