SqueakMap"... and a dialog will ask if you wish to upgrade SqueakMap. Which you do. Notice that SMBase, SMLoader packages appeaer in the Monticello browser, since the upgrade is performed by loading Monticello packages. In SqueakMap, select the ever so convenient "Seaside Installer" which should load in the whole of seaside with its dependencies in one go. To do this select the left had pane menu button, "install". (Part way through the install you will be prompted to enter an admin username (seaside) and password (admin)) (if SqueakMap doesnt work it is being knobbled by a more recent package-cache, remove it and try again) Select the seaside repositoryClick the "open" and the repository browser will open.

Look at the ancestors of a package to see if one version is being sequentially built on the next, or whether any branching is occurring.
