Re: [Pharo-project] Updating Pharo kernel

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

This is expected since 1.2 is unstable and changed a lot of things so it means that external packages did not get yet migrated to 1.2. Normally migration happens in beta phase.

Re: [Pharo-project] Introducing smallUML: a little project to help us document :)

by Carla F. Griggio

Hi Adrian! Thanks!! Nice feedback :D I'll reply each of your comments: > - I really like that I can ship the diagrams with the code > > Great, I personally think it's the coolest feature this project can offer. > - if I understand correctly, the method names are hardcoded in the spec. > Hence, when I document my software with a diagram and then I change the > code, my diagram gets out of date. If you already have the diagram with the > code, I think you miss an opportunity here. Yes... that's true. This project was first planned for making "handmade" diagrams, I mean, YOU choose what to show and how to show it (i.e. I'd like to show that some objects share a type although they don't share a hierarchy, but I really want to document they have polimorfism). That kind of freedom makes me loose the opportunity to link the diagrams with actual code and get them to be always up to date. I'd like to think about how I can get closer to that, because it IS confortable, but the diagram would have to be more complex and remember all the time what parts are linked to actual code and what parts are customized by the person who built it. It could be interesting to design :P But in the [not very near] future. > - I don't understand why, when I drag a box, there are suddenly two arrows > shown (I guess the second arrow should be its shadow, but it does not really > work) Hmmm... I guess it is the shadow. It kind of bothers me too, I could try to make it look different (or take it off completely). Do you notice something similar with the boxes too? > - I suggest to simplify menu labels like "Add new class box" to "New > class".

For now, you can describe how a class box associates with another in the little workspace of the Diagram Browser like this: - aClassBox *hasA*: anotherClassBox *labeledAs*: 'variableName' - aClassBox *hasLotsOf*: anotherClassBox *labeledAs*: 'variableName' - aClassBox *uses*: anotherClassBox - aClassBox *inheritsFrom*: anotherClassBox - aClassBox *isATypeOf*: anInterfaceBox - aClassBox *implements*: anInterfaceBox - aClassBox *usesTrait*: aTraitBox This is the kind of stuff I *urgently* have to document :P > - I suggest, instead of adding new type of diagrams, to first make the > class diagram really good. You have a much larger impact if you do just one > small thing but really well. > Thanks for that advice, and you're right, Stef says the same. I started doing some REALLY simple object diagrams because I needed them for the next week to use them at collage. But in the meantime I'm improving the project generally too (in the meantime means until next week XD then I'll start improving class diagrams upon all your feedback :D). Thanks a lot!!!

Re: [Pharo-project] Introducing smallUML: a little project to help us document :)

by Adrian Lienhard

Hi Carla, Nice! Here a few random comments: - I really like that I can ship the diagrams with the code - if I understand correctly, the method names are hardcoded in the spec. Hence, when I document my software with a diagram and then I change the code, my diagram gets out of date. If you already have the diagram with the code, I think you miss an opportunity here. - I don't understand why, when I drag a box, there are suddenly two arrows shown (I guess the second arrow should be its shadow, but it does not really work) - I suggest to simplify menu labels like "Add new class box" to "New class". "New" implies that it gets added, and you don't need to say "box" because its clear from the context that this will be a box. It also avoids confusion about classboxes (for those who know classboxes). - One feature of the class diagram that would be very nice to have is associations. - I couldn't figure out how to create relationships - I suggest, instead of adding new type of diagrams, to first make the class diagram really good. You have a much larger impact if you do just one small thing but really well. Cheers, Adrian On Aug 19, 2010, at 16:56 , Carla F.

[Pharo-project] Something wrong with changes?

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

I might have a corrupt change log. It is not particularly large, so I doubt it is size related. The problem is that I am not getting temporary names (lots of t1, t2, ... where there should be meaningful names). I recently copied the image from Linux to Windows and back; the timing is interesting. I also sometimes find that Ubuntu takes a LONG time to complete writes to flash sticks and wonder whether that might be an accident waiting to happen?? I have a backup from not quite a week ago and will check the image on the Windows box. Between the two of them and some recovery, I can probably be back in action quickly. It is also time for me to move from 1.1 RC2 to release anyway. Does any of this (possible changes woes and/or problems moving between Linux and Windows) sound familiar? Bill
