[Pharo-project] Cleaning included Monticello repositories in PharoCore
by Mariano Martinez Peck Feb. 15, 2010

Feb. 15, 2010

Hi folks: I was thinking that at least for the 1.0 release we should remove obsolete default repositories. I don't know if the word is "default" but I mean to those repositories that are already added when you download PharoCore 1.0 image. Those repositories are: 1) http://www.squeaksource.com/Pharo 2) http://www.squeaksource.com/PharoInbox 3) www.squeaksource.com/Installer 4) www.squeaksource.com/UIEnhancements 5) http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/flair 1) and 2) are ok. 3) I think we should remove it. 4) and 5) are there becuase Gofer and Polymorph are included in the Core image? What do you think ? Cheers Mariano

[Pharo-project] [ANN] HelpSystem (was ProfStef)
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 14, 2010

Feb. 14, 2010

>I have implemented some authoring capabilities in ProfStefBrowser >to create new tutorials Yes, authoring capabilities would be cool to have. But first we have to find out what the content really should be and how it should be represented (simple text, markup, active morphs, ...) >Some kind of simple markup language to have for example links to other pages >or books, or to execute code snippets with a single mouse click Do you know the Squeak welcome workspace? It provided something like this - a Text could define "runs" to change style, color of text or even have clickable links with Smalltalk code behind - dont know if this is still possible in Pharo since parts of Morphic are removed. On the other hand it was Squeak only - hard to create from tyical documentation formats (text, HTML, ...) Maybe we could reactive code from "Scamper" (the Squeak web browser) for simple HTML like text styling. Using a subset of HTML as description would also allow us to publish the help contents on webpages later. I also remember a full webbrowser written in Smalltalk (VW). Meanwhile it is open source (MIT), see [1] ... so lets just reactivate it ;) We all have many ideas (like yours with the debugger) - but first I would like to see a minimal version for a help system: - provide help contents as simple ascii text (as it is now) - ability to jump from a tool to a specific page (like F1-help on Windows) we can use a simple unique key which is defined in HelpTopic already. - ability to define order of pages together with order of (sub)books With a minimal help tool (included in the dev-image) we can provide help to beginners and start documenting Pharo. As a second step we can work on better markup, authoring, active content ... However - the repo is open for any contribution... >Now....It is not clear for me the differences between HelpSystem and >ProfStef. "HelpSystem" is like a normal help system you know from Eclipse, KDE, Windows, ... It is more a reference/documentation kind of thing. "ProfStef" is an interactive tutorial usefull to teach things step by step. >Help system is new ? Yes, developed yesterday. >should they be merged? Hey, we just decoupled ... why merge again ;) Read [2] >when we should use one and when the other ? ProfStef is for an introduction (5min course) on Pharo or tools, an interactive tutorial to introduce Smalltalk or basic concepts. It is more "workspace" oriented. See Laurents comments. HelpSystem is more a general help system with a "browser" that should be available as a base framework so tools can provide help texts/contents to users. Bye T.

[Pharo-project] GoferApiTest failing (WinXP)
by Ch Lamprecht Feb. 14, 2010

Feb. 14, 2010

Hello to everybody, running the tests in latest images PharoCore-1.1 and 1.0 on WinXP I see GoferApiTest>>#testSubDirectoryRepository failing. It could be fixed by changing MCSubDirectoryRepository>>#description + ^ directory pathName, FileDirectory slash , '*' - ^ directory pathName, '/*' The current implementation works because '/' and '\' both are valid path separators on windows. Assuming '/' as path delimiter would cause trouble with MacFileDirectory - but that might be obsolete anyway. So may be the test is too strict? I just started to follow this list and the Pharo project ('Recreational programmer' btw. - thanks for the kind welcome message ;) ). Should I report this? And if so: It is a MC issue, should it be reported using the Pharo tracker or somewere else? Cheers, Christoph

hi Colin Is there a way not to have to specify the FileSystem to create a stream for a file on disk? str := FSUnixFilesystem new writeStreamOn: 'giffle'. str nextPutAll: 'zzzzzzzzzz'. str close -> str := 'giffle' asWriteStream str nextPutAll: 'zzzzzzzzzz'. str close is there a way to do currentFolder doWithAllFiles: [:each | Transcript show: each name ; show: each size ; cr] Do I have to use an FSPreOrderGuide? Are there some behavior like doWithAllFiles already defined? I have the impression that having some extensions could make the interfaces smoother. I liked some of the aspects of the rio ones, even if I did not like the chaining one. Stef
