[Pharo-project] how to get a string read stream from filesystem
by Tudor Girba March 27, 2012

March 27, 2012

Hi, I am using Filesystem, and I would like to get a read stream that provides a string instead of bytes. If I do "aReference readStream", I get a FSReadStream which is a byte stream. To get to the string, I now do the ugly: "aReference readStream contents asString" Is there a cleverer way? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "What we can governs what we wish."

[Pharo-project] SystemTracer
by Benjamin March 15, 2012

March 15, 2012

Hello guys, for one of my projects, I'm trying to use SystemTracer to create anew image, but it appears that it doesn't work on Pharo ... I can create a new image, but I can't open it. I've tried with an older VM (Squeak 3.8.18beta1U), but it's the same ... Did someone already have this problem ? Does someone have a solution ? Thanks in advance, Ben

[Pharo-project] changing a method on an image file without loading the image
by Javier PimÃ¡s Feb. 21, 2012

Feb. 21, 2012

Hi, my image got broken and I think I know (thanks to the dump) what I should change. But it won't load so I need to modify the image file from the outside world. Is there any way? Cheers, Javier. -- Lic. Javier PimÃ¡s Ciudad de Buenos Aires

[Pharo-project] Marking methods
by Bernat Romagosa Feb. 20, 2012

Feb. 20, 2012

Hi list, I've been thinking for a while that it'd be great if we could somehow graphically mark methods in the browser. Like adding an icon next to their name or highlighting them in different colors. When reviewing code, I find myself going through methods and would love to be able to mark them once they've been reviewed, to prevent me from going through them again. Does anyone else have the same needs? How do you guys manage this? I thought about flagging methods, but that'd mean I'd have to read through all my methods again to remove the flags once I'm done with the revision. Cheers, -- Bernat Romagosa.

[Pharo-project] Brainstorming on the roadmap for first Pharo Consortium Engineer :)
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Feb. 18, 2012

Feb. 18, 2012

Hi guys we have a roadmap for Esteban and we would like to share it with you. We have extra items that we would like to see fixed and we are welcoming your feedback/suggestions. Note this is typically the way we want to work with the consortium in the future: Build an initial roadmap and refine it based on the input of the community. - A website for the consortium registration (esteban is expert on that). - This is important for INRIA and for the visibility of the consortium. We should get new members :) - Integration with SmalltalkHub - Working on fixing bugs! - Debugger fixes - Continuous bug fixing. - Improving release process: faster, more people involved, simpler. - Working on metacello repositories for each distributions (everything is there but missing last bits) - Metacello tools - Automatic release validations - Automatic validation of fixes Now the free items with probably igor involvement - Multiwindowing support - Fully working multithreaded FFI with ***Documentation*** - Filesystem fix and integration - Integration of OPAL - RPackage integration Igor related - Ephemerons - Object format - VM branding - Use of new canvas - Event cleaning So we are waiting for your suggestions.

Hi imagine that I want to bootstrap our nice kernel. I will need to somehow create a new nil, true, false, instances of new classes Undefined, True, False. Such instances will then be put on the SpecialObjectArray somehow. Now I can create a dummy object playing such roles and then use SystemTracer to substitute my placeholder with the true nil falseâ¦. or another trick to swap them. Now anybody has other ideas? Stef
