Re: [Pharo-project] [Pharo-users] Call for Pharo Support **important**
by Tudor Girba Feb. 18, 2011

The reason I am asking is that in the text you say "if your company/research group would be interested", which tends to not invite individuals. Ok, so individuals should sign it, too?

Our goal is to build a legal infrastructure that will be able to sustain the development of Pharo and improve its future.

[Pharo-project] could we agree to remove caseOf: and caseOf:otherwise:
by stephane ducasse Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Hi guys let us do another pass at cleaning and realigning the system. Could we agree to deprecate caseOf: and caseOf:otherwise:? it will simply the compiler, decompiler and also we do not need that at all. | z | z := {[#a]->[1+1]. ['b' asSymbol]->[2+2]. [#c]->[3+3]}. #b caseOf: z => "| z | z := {[#a]->[1+1]. ['b' asSymbol]->[2+2]. [#c]->[3+3]}. z detect: [:each | each key value = #b] " there is one user which I fixing right now. Stef

[Pharo-project] Render a COLLADA mesh with OpenGL
by HwaJong Oh Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Hi, I'm working on parsing COLLADA file and then render it with AlienOpenGL in squeaksource. (AlienOpenGL was a good example of Alien BTW) http://forum.world.st/file/n3308632/%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7_20… Has anyone done this before? I've seen KMZ file successfully load on OpenCobalt. Has anyone done it with Pharo(or Squeak)?

[Pharo-project] Pharo 1.2 broken on Hudson
by Torsten Bergmann Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Pharo 1.2. is broken on Hudson. The ConfigurationOfPharo is not loadable on a core image due to changes on OmniBrowser. Reason: ======= ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser-GuillermoPolito.102.mcz in http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository references "OB-Shout-JohanBrichau.13" in spec for: #pharo in its version 1.2.4 But OB-Shout-JohanBrichau.13 is not in http://www.squeaksource.com/PharoOB Should we use "OB-Shout-GuillermoPolito.13.mcz" instead? Guillermo: can you give me access to PharoOB too? Thx T. -- Empfehlen Sie GMX DSL Ihren Freunden und Bekannten und wir belohnen Sie mit bis zu 50,- Euro! https://freundschaftswerbung.gmx.de

[Pharo-project] Pharo & LDAP
by Olivier Auverlot Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Hi, For a project of REST services with Pharo and Seaside, I need to send requests to an LDAP server. I found a project named LDAPlayer on squeaksource. Now, I can create a connection and do a request to the LDAP server. But... my problem is to read an attribute in the result. In the LDAPSearchResultEntry object, the method to get a value is : attrAt: aKey | selected | selected := attrs at: (aKey asByteArray) ifAbsent: [ ^ nil ]. ^ selected first asString. The problem seems to be on the third line with the use of the asByteArray method. Why used this method ? For my tests, I remplaced it with : selected := attrs at: aKey ifAbsent: [ ^ nil ]. And now, it's ok but I don't know if my modification could introduce others problems. What do you think about that ? Someone has used LDAPlayer with Pharo ? Best regards Olivier ;-) www.auverlot.fr

Hi, What about postponing this dicussion to the week of the 7th of march? This will be far easier... (and I really did not have the energy to follow this discussion. Most of the emails in this thread I did not read).

It is another control structure defined in the library rather than by the language, just like do:, inject:into: et al. It is extremely useful in certain circumstances. It can be (and is) optimized. Functional languages support case statements that are conceptually similar. caseOf: (and those of functional languages) are *much* more powerful than the switch statement of C: caseOf: can dispatch on arbitrary values, not just integer indices; caseOf:'s selectors (the things on the left of the ->'s) can be expressions, not just constants. >> >> So caseOf: could be moved to Cog. >> >> Fine.

[Pharo-project] XMLRPC server
by Sean P. DeNigris Feb. 17, 2011

Feb. 17, 2011

Is there a working version of XMLRPC server? After installing via "ConfigurationOfXMLRPC project latestVersion load: 'All'." the server tests seem to hang indefinitely on both Pharo 1.1.1 and Squeak 4.1. Thanks.
