Been a while. BottomFeeder/Line was broken. Thanks as usual to James for getting it working again. He should charge support. Or not...
Anyway, the other day I needed to remove the latest version of a package. The (primitive) Store garbage collection tools don't really allow this easily. They'll remove everything before a certain date, but not after. I have StoreForGlorp loaded for the occasional replication, I decided I'd see if I couldn't appreciate some of its other uses. Any of the handy things about StoreForGlorp is that if you hang out on the #smalltalk irc channel, you get access to the 24-7 StoreForGlorp support group, staffed by Alan Knight and Martin Kobetic. With a little help, I opened the StoreWorkbook and ran:
session delete: (session read: StorePackage where: [:each | each name = 'SUnitToo' & each version = '21]) first
The only tricky part was discovering that you can't use an and:. It does weird things. I'll "clean" my repositories with Glorp from now on (sounds like a soap commercial from the 70's, huh?).
