[Pharo-project] How to access classVariable access with the browser
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Nov. 10, 2009

Nov. 10, 2009

when you are on the class side if you method has a classVariable and you want to know who access it. Then chase variables show you the class instance varaibles but not the classVariable. Toooooo bad. Stef

[Pharo-project] About deprecated methods
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Nov. 10, 2009

Nov. 10, 2009

Hi guys I wanted to remove the deprecated methods of 1.0 in 1.1 Here is a first cut of deprecated methods that are not called by other in the system. May be we should not integrate it now but create a slice that people could load if they want. Stef

[Pharo-project] Not a disaster (this time)
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Nov. 10, 2009

Nov. 10, 2009

Hello all, I am trying to be a good tester, and have been shot in the foot now for a couple of days. That's no great loss, but a similar set of circumstances could be very ugly in the future. My ailing build process for RC1 is thwarted by source.squeakfoundation.org's being offline. Imagine a deadline (paying customer, mission-critical gizmo, grant submission - whatever haunts you) and being stuck. I have even tried to save the FFI packages locally, and that seems to go haywire over talking to the server. Having chosen the package name and a local repository, I would expect MC to take the code it has locally and save it to my local drive, but apparently that's not what it does. There is no need for urgent action (this is only a drill<g>), but there should be some redundancy in where the code is stored, and MC should not prevent my saving code I already have to my local drive. There isn't (at least not that I can find), and it does :( Bill

[Pharo-project] My build problems
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Nov. 10, 2009

Nov. 10, 2009

Hello all, With a couple of changes, I am free of the non-responsive server and still having trouble. On one run, I saw something about "recompiling system dictionary" (no promises of an exact quote as it flashed by quickly) followed by the emergency evaluator that won't do anything. I added some logging to see which package was loaded just before the crash, and found my first package seems to be the offender. Caveat: I am always suspicous of logs from things that are going away as they are logging. No answer yet, but I have a suspicion that the problem might be a syntax error. The offending code came from Dolphin via SIF, and I am not sure whether I have ever successfully loaded it using MC. More to come. Bill

Bill, You add the overrides to the loader for a version, so you'd use the overrides in an emergency or when you wanted to explicitly use a different repository....It's literally an override - when used all packages are loaded from the override repositories. Instead of launching a load with this expression: (ConfigurationOfGLASS project version: '1.0-beta.2') load: 'Dev'. You'd use this expression: | version | version := ConfigurationOfGLASS project version: '1.0-beta.2'. version versionSpec loader repositoryOverrides: <list of MC repositories>. version load: 'Seaside3.0 Dev'. The repository overrides are passed along throughout the load chain for dependent packages etc. Apologies for the 'version versionSpec loader' sequence, but I've been slowly pulling various bits of capability out to the version API as demand surfaces ... After this email exchange, I'll probably pull the repositoryOverrides: message all the way out to the version:) Dale ----- "Wilhelm K Schwab" <bschwab(a)anest.ufl.edu> wrote: | That is a valuable feature.
