[Pharo-project] Cadence enhancement
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 31, 2008

Aug. 31, 2008

Hi all I got the cadence enhancements: - win32OSProcess - MonticelloSVN - base system enhancement. The last one seems important. Now I do not know how we could share it to go over it. Because this is a bit large. Also the license of this code is SqueakL. So may be we should ask if the code could be license under MIT? Stef

Alexandre, Understood, but my real goal was to search the Seaside archives where the analogous downloadable files are a bit less friendly (though appreciated and valuable). Gmane appears to do the job nicely; now I have to read what it found =:0 I added a page to the Wiki, so please add anything you find useful. Bill Wilhelm K.

Mathias, With your pointer to gmane, I quickly found http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.pharo.devel which might be more friendly for a keyword search?? My real goal was to get to the archives of the Seaside list, which can be searched here: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.seaside Thanks!! Bill Wilhelm K.

Hi! When I create a class extension while being in one of my package, I jump into the package that defines the class. I found this pretty annoying...

Dear all, GwenaÃ«l just demoed Squeak-GTK for me. It really looks cool! Galaxy away from Morphic! Cairo is also hooked into it. I think we should keep an eye on Squeak-GTK. GwenaÃ«l, let us know when you need beta users :-) Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.
