Laurent, can you please download VM: http://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/24736/pharo-vm-0.15.2f-linux.zip >From my point of view, we need to distribute a Linux VM that: - Has a easy way to install. I think your VM is cool in these point. I found Exupery a bit more tricky. - Has FreeType installed - Has an EXCELLENT README.TXT that explains how to compile from source, how to install it, how to use it, and a FAQ for tipical questions. For example, in Ubuntu, these libraries has to be installed in order to compile. What happend with 64 bits? All that has to be explained in that file - In the README.TXT we also have to put links for help: squeakvm site, posts like Laurent or Adrain - Gunification - It needs to have a name of PharoXXX. Not squeak. This is VERY confusing for newcomers. - It has to include sources. I know a lot of people that says "I won't put anything in production that I cannot compile by myself first". - It has to be a Standard VM, not Exupery. Exupery without the exupery package, has no sense at all. It is in Pharo download just because of history reasons. Bryce was very helpful and was the first in put closures in the VM. So, we used that. Now, it has no sense anymore. - Pass all PharoRC3 tests in green - The process has to be repeatable. Someone has to be able to came in 1 year, donwload the same VM and repeat the steps without major problems. - The readme.txt has to include the SVN revision where the C code was taken. - It would also be good to said which ConfigurationOfVmMaker version was used.

Re: [Pharo-project] how to contribute test to pharo

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi Hilaire. I dont understand your question. If you want to contribute to test, just download the image you want, and test. If you find bugs, you report it. To submit an issue: http://www.pharo-project.org/community/issue-tracking If you are talking about submitting new tests or fixes to current tests, is the same process as submitting any code: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HowToContribute I know this link was pointed from somewhere in the pharo website...but I don't find it. Adrian?

And here I was, thinking you were talking of copy-pasted code instead of reuse ;P Btw, there's no way that test should be true unless you have a messed up changes file caused by a botched truncate or something...

I didn't know how to easily search it. Thanks When I used to build squeakland VMs and installers I had a little script that installed all necessary dev packs. It is part of the squeakland repository, but that doesn't seem to be online anymore: http://svn.squeakland.org/installers/ At home I might have a copy of the repository though... Michael

[Pharo-project] [Preview] Help System with new model

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi, sorry for the delay on the help system - but time is rare these days. I know some of you are impatient - therefore I've commited my restructured code for the help system for you to look what is coming - even when it is not fully finished. But the restructured new model is now in place - I have to add more tests and adapt the "help on the help system" to document my ideas. I also want to work on compatibility with Squeak as the first version had. Currently the new stuff only work in Pharo. What is new =========== While we had 3 model classes in my initial version (and after Dannys additions even more classes) I now reduced the model to a very, very simple approach with just one model class. We now have a HelpBrowser that is "just" displaying topics. A topic (see class HelpTopic) is - providing a title and optionally an icon - able to have subtopics, - provides contents (that is displayed be the browser), - can be identified by a unique key (so we can later open the help browser on a specific topic from within other tools) You can create help topics from each and anything. To try it out just load the baseline (in Pharo 1.0 or 1.1): -------------------------------------------- Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfHelpSystem'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfHelpSystem) project version: '1.0-baseline') load -------------------------------------------- You can open the help browser from the world tool menu or via code: HelpBrowser open You can open the help browser on any object that is able to be converted into a help topic (via method #asHelpTopic). So you can write for instance: HelpBrowser openOn: Integer opening a short API help/system reference on the Integer class. The above expression is the short form for: HelpBrowser openOn: (SystemReference forClass: Integer) If you want you can include the subclasses: HelpBrowser openOn: (SystemReference hierarchyFor: Integer) or even methods HelpBrowser openOn: (SystemReference hierarchyWithMethodsFor: Integer) You can browse the whole system reference documentation using: HelpBrowser openOn: SystemReference But these are only a few examples what we can extract from the system. However - the major goal is NOT an API browser, the idea is to provide a simple architecture to provide browsable help contents depending on the context. For instance it should also be possible to use the help system to provide end user help on any commercial application that is written with Pharo. As I said you can convert any text data into topics to be displayed by the help system: the browser is able to open on anything that is convertable to a root topic using #asHelpTopic. More on this later. When you open the help browser it provides help for the whole system, so HelpBrowser open is the same as HelpBrowser openOn: SystemHelp which internally uses the class CustomHelp and subclasses to provide written text and API help to form a system wide help system. If you want you can also load "Metacello-Help" and "Squeak-Help" from the http://www.squeaksource.com/HelpSystem repository to see how the new topics are automatically used when they were just loaded. Yes, I would like to see a richer text support (using markup language) and written text documentation accessible directly from within the image. But the first step was to get a simple model, the next step would be to see if the extension mechanism is good enough (CustomHelp, HelpBuilder with own builders, ...) Some more notes on the architecture and extension ideas: ======================================================== 1. the model as I said before is now reduced to a single class (HelpTopic) 2. When you open the help browser on an object the method #asHelpTopic is sent to the object by the browser to get the root node of the displayed topic hierarchy: HelpBrowser openOn: myObject Typically the object does not convert itself to a help topic structure, usually it dispatches to a builder (see HelpBuilder and subclasses) who does all this. So the help text can be already in the image even when the help system itself is NOT YET THERE/LOADED and if you want to provide help text in whatever form you are not dependent on the help system itself!!! Later a builder can extract and convert the data. You can have builders for anything - even a builder who gets informations from the web or hard disk. But note: if you want to have your own help shown up in the standard help then you have to at least use the "CustomHelp" subclass mechanism. 3. The help browser is a simple tree view and is currently limited to ASCII text. One step in the future could be to provide a "contentType" (similar to MIME) to support other content types (for instance active morphs displayed in clean up book morphs, HTML help with scamper in the help browser, ...) 4. I dont expect the basic model to change much further - maybe Take care: all of this is still unfinished but in a usable state. The "Help on Help" is not yet updated. The tests are not reviewed, just brouht to green. So you have to rely on the implementation, all the informations in this mail or directly ask questions.
