I just totally convinced that if we do not want to stay an obscure little toy we have to capture dependencies and scripts do not capture that. For me metacello is not the panacea but it exists and if we would spend a little time then the system would benefit from it. Now there are problems because I have to fix configurations for systems I have no clue how they are built. So what your attitude just create is more burden on my shoulder. Sadly I would love that we do not have to use your projects but we cannot so I should do the fucking stupid job of extracting the dependencies in your project. It would cost you 3 min and it costs me hours but apparently your are right and I'm wrong and this is my stone. So I will continue. I do it because I want pharo to be a success. We will have a new engineer and we will ask him to improve metacello. because there is no other ways. I do not want to maintain Pharo without spec of dependencies and support for development because metacello supports that. Stef

Sorry, but I am too stupid for it. It is too complex for me. You can take my scripts and get a working and minimal image. For many years I've been building images without problems. Now you can say that this is not your use-case, but Metacello configurations are not my use-case either. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli www.lukas-renggli.ch

I updated the configurationOfGrease > (ConfigurationOfGrease project version: #development) load loads well in 1.3. I do not understand why lukas and philippe do not give a shit about metacello but this is sad because idiots like me have to go and understand the dependencies after the fact. May be metacello is plain bad and ugly. I do not know what I know is that it is really important for our community. Now I do not know if I should promote it as stable. I could also do soemthing like stable: spec <symbolicVersion: #stable> spec for: #'pharo1.3.x' version: '1.6.0.2'. instead of stable: spec <symbolicVersion: #'stable'> spec for: #'common' version: '1.0.6'.

It is widely acknowledged that a software with a Ã¢â¬ÅgoodÃ¢â¬Â test coverage is more robust against unanticipated execution, thus lowering the maintenance cost. However, insuring a coverage of a good quality is challenging, especially since most of the available test coverage tools do not discriminate software components that require a Ã¢â¬ÅstrongÃ¢â¬Â coverage from the components that require less attention from the unit tests.<br/>Hapao is an innovative test coverage tool, implemented in the Pharo Smalltalk programming language. It employs an effective and intuitive graphical representation to visually assess the quality of the coverage. A combination of appropriate metrics and relations visually shapes methods and classes, which indicates to the programmer whether more effort on testing is required.<br/><br/><a class="open" title="http://hapao.dcc.uchile.cl/" href="http://hapao.dcc.uchile.cl/">http://hapao.dcc.uchile.cl/<br /></a></p></div><div class="part show pict tall"><a href="javascript:void(0)"><img alt="Zoom: home_3.png" title="home_3.png" width="522" height="283" src="http://www.pharo-project.org/pictures/09/nj23pof8gj6v5sbqjbnd0xjq7wonr2/hom…"/></a></div><div class="part text tiny"><p class="pale"><a class="open" title="http://marcusdenker.de" href="http://marcusdenker.de">Marcus Denker</a>, January 23, 2011</p></div><div class="part cb-widget tiny cb-share"><a class="cb-mail" title="Share this article on E-Mail" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pharo-project.org/news?recommend=hapao-testing"><span>Share this article on E-Mail</span></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="cb-twitter" title="Share this article on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=I'm+currently+reading+http://www.pharo-project.org/news?article=hapao-testing"><span>Share this article on Twitter</span></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="cb-facebook" title="Share this article on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?t=Hapao Testing&u=http://www.pharo-project.org/news?article=hapao-testing"><span>Share this article on Facebook</span></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="cb-delicious" title="Share this article on Delicious" href="http://del.icio.us/post?title=Hapao Testing&url=http://www.pharo-project.org/news?article=hapao-testing"><span>Share this article on Delicious</span></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="cb-digg" title="Share this article on Digg" href="http://digg.com/submit?title=Hapao Testing&url=http://www.pharo-project.org/news?article=hapao-testing"><span>Share this article on Digg</span></a> </div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>IRC meeting notes</title><author>alienhard(a)netstyle.ch (board)</author><link>http://www.pharo-project.org/news?article=irc-meeting-notes</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Dec 2010 21:05:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6373608c-e57a-442a-a1c5-195e1f532525</guid><description><![CDATA[This was our first IRC meeting, which we plan to repeat once a month]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="part lead tall"><h6>This was our first IRC meeting, which we plan to repeat once a month.

Current representation of source in the .changes and .sources files is very weak. What we would like to have is a proper code model. ESUG is paying a small company to rewrite from scratch SqueakSource. INRIA is looking into providing Webdav access on their infrastructure. Another missing area is descriptions of the external packages to answer where the code is stored, who the maintainer is, etc. <br/><br/>* Comments: we need more and better comments. We have HelpSystem but it is not used so far. The main obstacle is that one needs to subclass from CustomHelp, which creates an unnecessary dependency on the help package.
