by Eliot Miranda Nov. 18, 2010

Nov. 18, 2010

Hi All, In trunk Scanner isLiteralSymbol: #<= answers false ?!?! This is breaking my Cog generated code disassembly decoration so that instead of 000a572c: movl $0x0045a458=#<=, %ecx : B9 58 A4 45 00 000a5731: call .+0xfff5ad5a (0x00000490=ceSend1Args) : E8 5A AD F5 FF I'm merely getting 000a572c: movl $0x0045a458, %ecx : B9 58 A4 45 00 000a5731: call .+0xfff5ad5a (0x00000490=ceSend1Args) : E8 5A AD F5 FF Anyone have a fix? best Eliot

I guess that you do not really measure the amount of work it can represent. The only way to be able to do that is to force people to write better bug tracker description and guess not a lot of people open a bug entry so a core of people is again doing that. > - the content of a feed message is bad: the context is missing. > >> - It reduces the searchability/usability of the mailing list archives; >>> Why? >>> I want to look for bug discussions there too and not using a bad google search engine. > > I think the problem most potential contributors have is one of too much information, > not too little. Giving them more, in a badly prepared format, is unlikely to help. We will see but what if it helps the contributors and make them more productive? So may be the solution is to add another mailing-list. what is clear for me is that I would love to get the changes like in squeak in the mailing-list in addition to all the bugtracker activity.

Keep it, otherwise issue tracker activity is hidden and now situation has really improved. It also reminds us on fixing or commenting on issues beside all the discussion on the list. Note that beside http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/ there is also http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-users with less traffic. Thx Torsten -- GRATIS!
