I have more questions :) 3) Please, take a Pharo dev image and you will see that the package OCForOB for example, only depends on OmniBrowser and OB-Standard (using dependency browser). However, that package also depends on OCompletion I think. Look for example the method OBTextPanel >> createCompletionController (category ocforob) and you will see that it uses the class OController which is from the package OCompletion....So, shouldn't be OCompletion a dependency ? 4) There are certain packages that are not listed in the dependency browser. Examples OB-Standard, OB-Morphic, O2-Standard , etc...most of them (maybe all) seem to have the pattern XXX-YYY. Do you know what can be the problem here? Maybe something related to what you told me about normalized and un-normalized? I would really like to see these packages also. 5) Why there are some packages that have their self as dependency ? For example, take OmniBrowser and you will see that has a dependency OmniBrowser also (as Inheritance and Reference). Thank you very much.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SystemTracer on SqueakSource
by David T. Lewis Jan. 5, 2010

Jan. 5, 2010

I have created a SqueakSource project called SystemTracing to serve as a repository for the various SystemTracer implementations that have appeared in and around Squeak images since Squeak 1.22. The intent is to make these implementations loadable in modern images, and to provide a Monticello repository for new development. MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/SystemTracing' user: 'squeak' password: 'squeak' All classes and package extension methods have been recategoried to SystemTracing but are otherwise unmodified to the extent possible. The recategorizing was done by hand-editing the original change sets. The archive includes historical versions that appeared in early Squeak images, as well as loadable versions of the SystemTracer2 that is catalogued on SqueakMap. There is an entry for the SystemTracer64 that was used to produce the first 64-bit Squeak image, and recent updates that will enable 64-bit images to be traced from modern Squeak and Pharo images (there is more work to be done here). Developer access is provided for Stephen Pair, John M McIntosh, Andreas Raab, Eliot Miranda, Jannik Laval, Ian Piumarta. If anyone else should be added as developer, please speak up. All future contributions to this archive are required to be MIT licensed. Dave

I have come across that document as well. I kind of got stuck on figuring how how I can install VMMaker. >> I am working on a project that requires extension either through itself > > what do you mean "trought itself" ? You just need to write a plugin or change the VM ? Why you need to tho that ? I ask because maybe someone has even a better solution or advice for you. I am experimenting with Scratch and planning to integrate several native library into it. It seems that I can accomplish most of what I need via plugins. But it would be nice to get a clear pictures about how to build the VM and how the codes are structure in case I need to get in there. > > Cheers > > Mariano > > or via plugins.

[Pharo-project] Mac VM 5.2.b2 ships
by John M McIntosh Jan. 4, 2010

Jan. 4, 2010

I've push the latest cocoa based 32/64bit macintel/powerpc VM There was a back-leveled patch for the JPEG2 read/writer which causes the Seasides tests to crash the VM. This is fixed. Look for the folder experimental/64bits in the regular places found via http://smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html or ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com/experimental/64bit/32bitImage*64bitVM/ file name: Squeak 64-32 5.2b2.app.zip This *beta* VM runs in 32 or 64 bit mode on macIntel, and 32bit mode on powerpc to support Squeak 32bit images. -- =========================================================================== John M.

Being able to easily load AidaWeb into GemStone was one of the other motivations for Metacello:) My todo list for Pharo, includes building a configuration for AidaWeb that will load AidaWeb into GLASS or Pharo (with feedback from Janko). I also plan incorporate Julian's work on Pier2 for Seaside3.0 into the Pier configuration (the current Pier configuration in MetacelloRepository is for Seaside2.8 only) Dale
