[Pharo-project] iphone testers for fractions calculator needed
by John M McIntosh June 4, 2009

June 4, 2009

I've built a fractions calculator for the iPhone and need a few folks to really test it. (confirm it's sane). Although there are a number of fraction calculators in the store, none do unlimited precision fractions or unlimited factorials, so I've created one that allows you to enter fractions, brackets, floating point numbers, factorials, all of which are converted to fractions as need be before applying the basic math logic via a grammer constructed by SmaCC. This all of course is based in Squeak. Cough, well it's not quite complete I''ve only constructed the grammer, the SUnits (133) and the basic UIViews. However folks who are interested in testing should email me, not the list, their iphone UUID and I'll add you as a beta tester. -- = = = ======================================================================== John M.

[Pharo-project] SkipList
by Gabriel Cotelli June 3, 2009

June 3, 2009

Hi, 20 of the methods that are not license clean are part of SkipList and SkipListNode... I checked the core, dev and web image and there's no reference to this (except the tests) and asSkipList in Collection (with no senders)... I think it's better to move this out of the core to an external loadable package... but better to ask to the community first :) Comments are welcome. Thanks Gabriel

by Torsten Bergmann June 3, 2009

June 3, 2009

When updating Pharo0.1Core-10319cl.image on a WinXP machine the image hangs after the update is finished (applying 5 updates). I'm not able to click the OK button of the "finished" dialog and the image is not responding to ALT+. Anyone able to confirm this?

[Pharo-project] Topological Sort
by Gabriel Cotelli June 3, 2009

June 3, 2009

Hi, the following methods: - Collection>>topologicallySortedUsing: - SortedCollection>>sortTopologically: - SortedCollection>>should:precede: are in the dirty methods list. The only sender of this is a test case for topologically sorted. Anyway, I don't understand the need for such behavior in SortedCollection... the topological sort is used in graph theory to obtain a total order of the nodes in a directed acyclic graph.. From my point of view SortedCollection should not implement this behavior... the sortTopologically: uses the same sort block used for standard sorting in SortedCollection, from the implementation I think that additionally it retains the original partial order of the equal elements (some kind of stable sorting, however this is not the intention for the method name). Summarizing.. I vote for removal of this behavior... Anyone knowns if there's another meaning for topological sorting? Waiting for comments Gabriel

[Pharo-project] need your help for a survey about OCompletion
by Romain Robbes June 3, 2009

June 3, 2009

Dear Pharo users, I am currently writing up about OCompletion and would like to more formally gather your feedback about it. To do that, I set up a very quick survey consisting of 10 multiple- choice questions. Filling it will take around 3 minutes of your time. Simply click on the following link to get started: http://www.surveymk.com/s.aspx?sm=enB3zXTU170bIm9xNu_2fLJg_3d_3d I'll be extremely grateful if you would take the survey as soon as possible and in any case before friday. Since OCompletion is now included by default in the pharo-dev images, you should be already familiar with it. If you are not, simply install it via: Installer squeaksource project: 'OCompletion'; install: 'OCLoader' if you use pharo-core: ScriptLoader loadOBAlpha Installer squeaksource project: 'OCompletion'; install: 'OCLoader' Thanks for your help, Romain -- Romain Robbes http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/robbes

by Gabriel Cotelli June 2, 2009

June 2, 2009

Hi, continuing with licensing issues I push on Pharo-Inbox: SLICE-RelicensingIV-GabrielOmarCotelli.2 Including the next: Added check for negative to Character>>value: for raising a better error message and a test case covering this Removed: - StandardFileMenu class>>oldFileFrom:withPattern: (no senders on any pharo image, the only one that appears is a sender to the instance message of same name) - Form class>>rgbMul (no senders) - ExternalStructureInspector (no references) - ServerDirectory class>>transferServerDefinitionsToExternal (no senders) Several changes from Yoshiki in Squeak relicensing (reverted to clean versions or reimplemented) (If someone needs the exact list of methods I can generate this) Now the dirty methods count should be 46 (I don't run the audit however). Please review. Thanks, Gabriel

[Pharo-project] Categories/packages in OB
by Schwab,Wilhelm K June 2, 2009

June 2, 2009

Hello, Is there a trick to getting items out of OB's Unpackaged list? I have four classes categorized as AuthenticationForSeaside, and OB is promoting them as I think it should. Monticello won't show them to me either. It seems to promot only when a package name contains a dash, but what if a monolithic package is enough? I am trying to package my code to get free of depending on change sets, but something (perhaps ignrorance on my part) is stopping me. Any helpful suggestions? Bill
