[Pharo-project] WAKom
by Robert Sirois July 17, 2009

July 17, 2009

WAKom doesn't work in Pharo? I believe I have the correct image and VM: I'm getting the following from 'WAKom startOn: 9050': 'BlockClosure(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #newProcessWithBindings:' Thanks, RS _________________________________________________________________ Lauren found her dream laptop.

This trigger an error when using FillInTheBlank for exemple. Doit: FillInTheBlankMorph request: 'enter something' creating an empty method updateVisualState: in SimpleButtonMorph seems to solve the problem although.

[Pharo-project] Call for testers of a faster MC
by StÃ©phane Ducasse July 17, 2009

July 17, 2009

Hi guys thanks to matthew I finally understood his optimization. The entry point is MCPackage>>snapshot I published a slice in the inbox. If you can try it, look at the changes and let me know. I did some experiences and could load moose which start to be complex but I may have done some mistakes. Stef PS: having real package will really make all that much faster. I will regularly to the TaskForces the code for a new package class.

[Pharo-project] Pharo-Dev/web Image slowness
by Esteban A. Maringolo July 17, 2009

July 17, 2009

Hi, I recently downloaded the latest Pharo Dev and Web images, and also the 2.8.4 one-click (which seems to be based on the Pharo image and VM too). And I found out that its performance is terrible, it takes forever (you perceive the delay) to open a browser, browse senders, change a method selection on the OB or even do a "print-it" on a workspace. However when accessing seaside through the web UI, it's blazing fast. Which makes me think there is something which is not working as it should. As a side note, I downloaded the latest Cuis image from http://www.jvuletich.org/Cuis/Index.html, and its amazingly fast. Â¿Am I missing something? Best regards, Esteban A. Maringolo

[Pharo-project] tests for FasterSets
by Cyrille Delaunay July 17, 2009

July 17, 2009

Hi, I have saved some tests for A lot of subclasses of Dictionary and Set in 'PharoTaskForces'. Those tests only test basic behavior of a Set or a Dictionary. You will probably find errors and failures not due to fasterSets specificities : - uncommented classes - methods unclassified - class implementation bugs ( like smallDictionary . MethodDictionary ) - class specific behavior ( in this case, tests should maybe be rewriten).

Damien could you bench if the browser is faster when you disable the dynamic protocol? Stef

[Pharo-project] Making some progress, and a few observations
by Schwab,Wilhelm K July 16, 2009

July 16, 2009

Hello all, I managed to create an install script; as I suspected would be case, it was very anticlimactic. I tried creating a password-protected directory under my personal web site, but that did not go well. The authentication is weird, so it was probably asking a lot. A directory repository worked. Does Monticello/PackageInfo see a change in method category (aka package) as a change to the package? It appears not, and it worries me a little in that it seems to make it easy to lose work by forgetting to save it. Do any of you script saving your packages? The results are untested at present, but I used SIF to transfer a fair amount of code into Pharo. To cope with the naming of the ODBC classes, I ended up doing things like Smalltalk at:#DBConnection put:ODBCConnection, and that worked out nicely, at least AFAICT at this stage. SIF finally ended up complaining about running out of items when processing the last file. I reserve the right to later report that it was a miserable failure, but it looks like I most of the code imported. Using the standard tools, the w2k theme, disabling faded backgrounds and enabling fast drag, performance on an older Linux system is ok (more or less). There are still things that take too long, and Pharo's responses are no better (sometimes worse) than even software running over a remote desktop connection. We need a speed boost, but judicious settings help a little. Is there a way to disable the anti-aliased fonts? In fairness, I should try turning that off to see if any speed boost is worth the price. Bill
