Successfull ones are done every day *and* every time something is commited. No way to keeep them all. We need to think about what to keep... and how. But the build server is not the right spot. We do keep snapshots of images all ca. 10-20 updates in the archive here: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/?group_id=1299 but this is right now done manually, we need to automate that.

Re: [Pharo-project] Any Clue..

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Sig, Please forgive me for being skeptical, but it is certainly worthy of a test on my end. How do the multiple processes coordinate access to the change log? Not having seen an IDE complain about access to either image or changes, and knowing that I have been bitten by this, I am not sure how to square it.

Re: [Pharo-project] Any Clue..

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

First, I hope there *is* a shortcut and that someone corrects the record promptly. Second, my (Ubuntu) computer just called home and wanted to install updates to a thing called d-bus, which was described as a simple IPC mechanism. Being the curious sort, I did a search and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Bus The timing was quite convenient. A Windows port is said to exist, and there is mention of its running as a daemon, which would be needed to replace the mechanism Dolphin exploits. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Diogenes Moreira [diogenes.moreira(a)gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 8:03 AM To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Any Clue..

I have seen this only a couple of times, and I am not aware of a shortcut to returning to a working image and recovering lost changes. As an aside, I am suspicious that opening an image more than once leads to much more badness than is generally acknowledged. I am convinced it was central to my most recent meltdown. The only reason I don't have more trouble is that I have learned to scan the task bar before launching Pharo. We need a cross-platform way to detect that a given image is open and to at least optionally warn and offer to exit without doing any damage.

Re: [Pharo-project] About XML Support in the 1.2

by Norbert Hartl

It depends where you look at. ConfigurationOfXMLSupport exists in MetacelloRepository as well as in XMLSupport. The latter one being the official one, the former one being very outdated. My sugesstion would be to remove ConfigurationOfXMLSupport from MetacelloRepository to lower the confusion.
