This is going to dev, but I thought I would cross-post it hear as well:
I have located in class FileDirectory (and, IMO, the wrongest place
for this to be) the spot where Squeak complains if the Changes and
Sources files are missing/unreadable/unwritable. To trim down my end-
user distribution, I'd like to silence the complaints and not include
these files (my user base will not be accessing Squeak in such a way
that these files will be beneficial to them).
I did a couple of class-recompilation tests, which seem to work fine.
The question is: can I get away with not including either of these
files in an installation where some classes/methods will be re-
compiled via update streams? Is there some hidden necessity to having
these two files present in the installation?
