[Pharo-project] Browser selections in 1.1
by Schwab,Wilhelm K June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Open some browsers in 1.1; select stuff in each of them, and watch what happens to visible selected items in inactive browsers (the selections are not shown). Very strange. Bill

[Pharo-project] #2476
by Schwab,Wilhelm K June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Stef, I built an RC2 image with my proposed ConnectionQueue fix in place. Metacello as able to its thing and my NetworkSmokeTest passes. I still suspect the listen loop is whacky, because (I *think*) it catches an exception that is never thrown, but it seems to at least work this way. It would be nice if someone else could verify that it does no obvious harm. Bill

[Pharo-project] [update 1.2] #12012
by Torsten Bergmann June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

When I'm in 12011 image and browse the HelpBrowser>>initWindow directly it is OK and working. When I open Monticello browser on squeaksource/Pharo then the #initWindow in: - HelpSystem-Core-StephaneDucasse.54 is OK - HelpSystem-Core-StephaneDucasse.55 is broken - HelpSystem-Core-StephaneDucasse.56 is broken Could it be some Monticello magic since HelpSystem was developed in both Squeak and Pharowhen it was in its original squeaksource/HelpSystem? I remember we had a similar issue where you rolled back but couldnt find it. Bye T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

[Pharo-project] [update 1.2] #12012 broken
by Torsten Bergmann June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Hi Stef, when I browse "HelpSystem-Core-StephaneDucasse.56.mcz" using the Squeaksource web interface then the #initWindow method in HelpBrowser looks like this: "rch/Pharo/Pharo/PharoHarvestingFixes/PharoCore-1.1-12008.2.image" That's the cause for the broken update since the method does not contain valid ST syntax. Main question is how can this happen. It's the second time. Did you restart with a fresh image after we had a similar issue? We have to find out if it is a general release management problem or just your local (maybe broken) setup. Thx T. -- GRATIS fÃ¼r alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!

[Pharo-project] DummyUIManager
by Pavel Krivanek June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Hi, I updated issue http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=2069 that adds DummyUIManager and makes Pharo more UIManager independent. Please review it, it is an important patch for better modularization. For the method fileInSilentlyAnnouncing: it only changes the category. Cheers, -- Pavel

[Pharo-project] GemSource back on-line
by Dale Henrichs June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Early this morning we had more hardware troubles in our data center. we lost two disk drives on the machine that hosts seaside.gemstone,con along with a few other applications. Despite using RAID 5 we had quite a few files corrupted on the server, including the GemStone db files (this isn't supposed to happen!) . GemSource hasn't been moved to new hardware in the VMWare data center yet (although this incident should accelerate things a bit:). Since we're concerned that we may experience more hardware problems before being able to replace the hardware we've decided to start making back ups a little more frequently (once every couple of hours instead of once a day). I suppose that there is a silverlining. It looks as though the secondary repository code for bootstrapping Metacello worked pretty well, since I didn't see anyone complaining about GemSource being down today ... I know that I was testing ConfigurationOfSeaside30 loads this morning for quite a while before noticing that GemSource was down (the IT guys had noticed almost immediately:). If any of you did notice problems with bootstrapping Metacello during the day today I'd appreciate it if you dropped me a line with any details you may have, since I'm interested in bullet proofing that code as much as possible...

[Pharo-project] Pharocasts: How to contribute updated + WorldMenu
by laurent laffont June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

Hi, Learn how to: - choose an issue to fix from the Pharo issue tracking - create and send a slice with your fix - add entries into the World Menu Code must be sent as a SLICE named SLICE-Issue-xxxx-description. Patrick Barroca and StÃ©phane Ducasse have added a +Slice button in Pharo 1.1 to ensure this convention. For more informations on the contribution process, read "How to contribute" on Pharo wiki. Here I show how issue #2582 (Rearrange WorldMenu) has been fixed, based on WorldMenu registration chapter in the Pharo CollaborActive book. Screecast here: http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-contribute-to-pharo.html <http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-contribute-to-pharo.html> Cheers, Laurent Laffont http://pharocasts.blogspot.com/ http://magaloma.blogspot.com/

[Pharo-project] Cog - dumb question
by Schwab,Wilhelm K June 23, 2010

June 23, 2010

In skimming the messages, I thought I read both that an image saved from a Cog VM both can and cannot be later opened with an ordinary VM. Which is it? It makes sense for the image to have to include Cog support code, but does that and being saved from a Cog VM spoil the image for the current closure VMs? Bill
