Re: [Pharo-project] For those who use Nabble ....

Geert, would it be possible to update the description of Pharo that currently reads "Pharo is a fork from the Squeak open-source Smalltalk."? I suggest: "Pharo's goal is to deliver a clean, innovative, free open-source Smalltalk environment. By providing a stable and small core system, excellent developer tools, and maintained releases, Pharo is an attractive platform to build and deploy mission critical Smalltalk applications. Pharo is MIT licensed and fosters a healthy ecosystem of both private and commercial contributors."

Thanks, Geert! I updated the web page. I added the general Nabble Smalltalk link in the FAQ.

How can I build an Exupery VM ? I think we should clean the linux download section of pharo website to have: - generated src (32 and 64 bits) so people can build an "official" vm with configure / make / make install. Very helpful for packagers too. - a clean pre-built version for the one-click image. Which VM should we propose ? Squeak or Exupery ? (And note we can have more choice on the wiki for "power users". I think we should put only one VM download on pharo website).

Re: [Pharo-project] How can I change the size of the World ?

by Adrian Lienhard

Yes, in the default size of the image, the browser windows are always too small. This logic is in RealEstateAgent class>>standardWindowExtent. In there you can hack one of the lines as follows: ^ ((allowedArea extent - (grid*(maxLevel+1*2) + (grid//2))) min: StandardSize) max: 700@450 I added the last part with max: ..., which makes the windows always at least 700@450. Maybe someday somebody comes up with a more thought through solution to the complete logic in RealEstateAgent, but until then that should work pretty well.

Actually, I a not sure if what I want is to change the size of the World, but the size of the windows. The problem is this: the PharoCore images, when I open them, they have a little size by default. I always need to make them bigger. I have to do the same with the Dev images. So, I would like to do that from Smalltalk side and add it to my scripts to build dev images. >> >> Is this possible ? how ?

[Pharo-project] Bug in NetNameResolver on PharoCore 10508?

by Miguel Enrique CobÃ¡ Martinez

Hi all, yesterday, in some of that "why did I do that today" I decided to add a partition to my ext3 fs over LUKS encrypted over LVM over disk partitions Debian install. Well, things went far from ok, and the result I lost all the information (it is really encrypted, :(). I had a backup so nothing important was lost. Or that I thought. Because after reinstalling and trying to install the squeakvm I noticed that the squeak vm .deb file from: http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-linux_i386.deb is not more available. I'm sure there are good reasons to remove that file. But for me that was the squeak vm that I was using (and the one you reach if you follow the links from pharo-download page and the one you'll try to download if you use a Debian derived distro...). The case is that isn't available. So I got the tar.gz for i386 (there isn't amd64 package, but I have ia32-libs installed): http://squeakvm.org/unix/release/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-linux_i386.tar.gz and by using this vm I have a problem that I hadn't before: In a PharoCore 10508 image evaluate this: NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.yahoo.com' I get: Error: primitive has failed in NetNameResolver class>>primGetNameInfo:flags Also NetNameResolver primGetNameInfoHostSize gives the same error but in: in NetNameResolver class>>primGetNameInfoHostSize. First I though that was the change of vm but then, using the same vm I opened an old image: Pharo1.0beta Latest update: #10454 and there all works correctly. Can someone confirm this bug so that I can add an issue in the traker. Or maybe point to something that I am doing wrong. I repeat, the data: vm: 3.11.3-2135 #1 XShm Wed Sep 16 14:25:10 PDT 2009 gcc 4.3.3 image: PharoCore 10508 result: failed vm: 3.11.3-2135 #1 XShm Wed Sep 16 14:25:10 PDT 2009 gcc 4.3.3 image: PharoCore 10454 result: worked Thanks -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://miguel.leugim.com.mx
