[Pharo-project] Creating install scripts - any tools?
by Schwab,Wilhelm K July 10, 2009

July 10, 2009

Hello all, Are there any tools that help in writing install scripts? I am thinking along the lines of something that would sniff out all MC packages with me as author and propose a script to load them. As an optional bonus, it might put them in the correct order?? I wrote a tool called Migrate to do these kinds of things for Dolphin, and (if I ever figure it out) will release a Pharo-friendly version. Bill

[Pharo-project] Squeak Forks Popularity & Trends Estimate
by Nevin Pratt July 10, 2009

July 10, 2009

There's no right or wrong answer to the following three questions. And, every response is meaningful, because it helps reveal the general sense of direction that the community is feeling. *********************** Question #1: Of the various Squeak forks (such as Croquet, Pharo, etc.), what is your feeling of their relative popularities at this point in time, and how does that compare with the current popularity of the base Squeak distribution? Question #2: This is related to the above-- what is your feeling of the relative popularity *trend* of each of the forks, and how does that compare with your feeling of the *trend* of the future popularity of the base Squeak distribution? Question #3: What is your justification for your answers to the above two questions? ************************ I'll begin with my own answers... ...I'm beginning to feel like the Pharo fork currently now has maybe 50% or more of the popularity of the base Squeak distro, and I'm beginning to feel like Pharo is headed to become the dominant distribution in the future, surpassing the original Squeak distro. And I base that feeling on several observations: 1. The email traffic comparison on the "Pharo-project" email list compared to the email traffic on "The general-purpose Squeak developers list", and the observed trend in such traffic. 2. The number of developers posting on the Pharo-project email list. 3. The specific developers posting on the Pharo-project email list (known Squeakers who have contributed heavily to Squeak in the past). 4. The fact that Seaside development has moved to Pharo. At one time I wondered if Croquet would become the dominant Squeak fork, for the simple reason that it had a business organization "officially" supporting it, similar to what Squeak had in the Disney days. But now I think I would bet my money on Pharo. What do you think? And why? Also, remember, there's certainly nothing wrong with several "dominant" forks existing. But of those, one of them will still be the most popular overall. And I'm curious about thoughts of which one that is, and which one that will become, and why you think so. Nevin

[Pharo-project] Issue 940: (13/10) = 1.3 returns false
by Hernan Wilkinson July 10, 2009

July 10, 2009

I added this new issue that happens on the latest image. I'm posting it here because I think it is an important bug because it affects the number model. The problem is related with all fractions who's denominator is not power of two. (130/100 = 1.3 or 1/5 = 0.2, etc) (See Float>>adaptToFraction: rcvr andCompare: selector where it does .... "Try to avoid asTrueFraction because it can cost" selector == #= ifTrue: [ rcvr denominator isPowerOfTwo ifFalse: [^false]]. ...) Hernan.
