[Pharo-project] GemStone/S
by Gary Chambers Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Having investigated the virtual appliance (GLASS) http://seaside.gemstone.com/ for a potential upcoming project... It is in shocking state with regard to maintenance duties... We will be trying a native install with Pharo, of course. The question is whether anyone is interested in collaborating with producing some decent GUI tools for doing general administration tasks (backups, recovery, archival etc.)? A lot of scope for taking the pain out of maintaining such an environment... Regards, Gary

[Pharo-project] Metacello --- How to make sure that we will be able to load... in 3 years from now
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

>make sure that we can get metacello configuration working in 3/5 years from now. We should also think about - mirroring. Currently in Metacello you give the repo hard coded in the baseline. Maybe it would be better to have an alias there and define the repo elsewhere (for instance in #versionXXX method). - offline work where on is working offline, behind a closed proxy. There are also companies that want to have an internal server. They do not want to rely on a public server even when it is 24*7. Did I already ask if we have the infrastructure/resources to run an own server (PharoSource, ...)? Bye T. c -- NEU: Mit GMX DSL Ã¼ber 1000,- Â¿ sparen! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02

[Pharo-project] Pharo by Example is back on Lulu

Feb. 23, 2010

Hi Folks, After much pain, PBE is back on Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/pharo-by-example/7522128 The problem seems to have been caused by embedded PDF figures, which messed up the fonts on several pages. By turning all th efigures into embedded PNGs, the problem finally went away. Cheers, - on

[Pharo-project] Browse classes with shortcut in merge
by Mariano Martinez Peck Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Hi Gary: It would be cool to be able to browse a class (when selected) using the shortcut (cmd + b). Right now you only can browse it using right button -> Browse class Cheers Mariano

[Pharo-project] Monticello repos when adding packages
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Hi, in Monticello: - when you open the browser you see a list of known repositories - when I select "+Package" and enter the name of a new package the right pane only shows the package-cache as valid repo and I have to add the repository using "+Repository" again - even when it is already known to the system Confusing, isnt it? Or is there an easier way? Thx T. -- Sicherer, schneller und einfacher. Die aktuellen Internet-Browser - jetzt kostenlos herunterladen! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/atbrowser

[Pharo-project] Why a package management system
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

>Maybe I am wrong, but I think that you SHOULDN'T be aware of the order. I >mean, you should be able to write all the spec package No, you are right. Usually in a PMS you just tell the dependencies and the load order is defined by the system based on that description. But I tried to be as close to the "Installer" script example as possible, so it was intended to use both interchangable in this context (although there is the noted difference). >Thanks again for this wonderful answer. I will incorporate most of that in >the Metacello chapter. Can I ? No problem. AFAIK posting to the lists are now MIT ;) Bye T. -- NEU: Mit GMX DSL Ã¼ber 1000,- Â¿ sparen! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02

[Pharo-project] web package documentation
by laurent laffont Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Hi, I've worked on SimpleWebDoc http://magaloma.seasidehosting.st (code here, http://www.squeaksource.com/SimpleWebDoc.html, proof-of-concept) Now it builds a package documentation overview by taking the first sentence of each class comment (if it has comment). For example: http://magaloma.seasidehosting.st/Traits So we can quickly see (I think) the composition of a package. Maybe we can have a similar thing with the new HelpSystem. Laurent Laffont
