Add package with Iceberg tool does not work

[SergeStinckwich]

I try to move one my software from Monticello repo to a git repo and it doesn't work.

For example :

git clone git@github.com:SergeStinckwich/Actalk.git

Then add the local repo with the Iceberg tool then load Actalk from CatalogBrowser and try to add the ConfigurationOfActalk or Actalk packages to the repo give the following error.

I was able to move my project from Monticello to git by using gitfiletree and after I was able to open the repo with the Iceberg tool.

Hi @SergeStinckwich I am not being able to reproduce this, could you give me some hint?

I even tried to migrate your code myself, and it was successful (look at https://github.com/npasserini/Actalk).

The only thing I found is that Iceberg can't cope nicely with a new repository, when it has not even a single commit (which I registered as #127), but the error message is different... so your problem might still be there, but I can't reproduce it.

[SergeStinckwich]

Hum. You start with an empty repo ? I will try to reproduce it.

[npasserini]

In fact, starting with an empty repo didn't work (see #127) but after an initial commit with an empty readme file, everything worked. How did you create your repository?

Hi @SergeStinckwich, @demarey has helped me reproduce the bug. I think that the problem is that you are using an old version (it is my fault, because I didn't update the "stable" version).

So if you know run "Iceberg update" you should be able to commit your packages without problems. Please let me know if you still can't.

[SergeStinckwich]

Ok, I switch to another repository, because I used gitfiletree to populate the Actalk one.

Another experiment after doing an Iceberg update. I'm cloning an existing repo with :
git clone git@github.com:SergeStinckwich/libUrbi.st.git
that contains files but no Pharo packages
and try to add this repo as a local repo, I have now

@ SergeStinckwich Maybe it is because your git project contains a dot in it: libUrbi.st. If it is that, it should not be hard to fix.
