Just one tiny step at a time... 1.3 then we should start to use Cog (for integration, too)... first we need to finish the hudson build of Cog, though.

[Pharo-project] why RefactoringEnvironment requires AST-Core
by stephane ducasse March 17, 2011

March 17, 2011

Hi lukas we would like to reuse the BrowserEnvironment for an experiment and I saw package: 'Refactoring-Environment' with: [ spec requires: 'AST-Core' ]; package: 'Refactoring-Tests-Environment' with: [ spec requires: 'Refactoring-Environment' ]; Do you know if this is correct? And why? Stef

[Pharo-project] Is it possible to setup Russian fonts in Pharo + Cog VM?
by Dennis Schetinin March 17, 2011

March 17, 2011

AFAIK, Cog VM does not allow to use system fonts. But still, is there a way to install fonts (of any type) with support for Russian symbols? â¦ Better without too much efforts like manually assigning offsets for each character :) -- Dennis Schetinin

[Pharo-project] Why did Ward Cunningham left Smalltalk and went for Ruby
by HwaJong Oh March 17, 2011

March 17, 2011

I found a recent podcast where Ward Cunningham was guest and talks about Wiki, HyperCard, Wikipedia, Wikileaks, Comodore64, RubyForKids and so on. http://www.pragprog.com/podcasts/show/36 At 30:30, he begins to talk about Smalltalk how he enjoyed it, and why he decided to go for Ruby. Personally, I thinks it is makes more sense than Bob Martin's view.

[Pharo-project] Building NativeBoost plugin (on linux)
by Javier PimÃ¡s March 17, 2011

March 17, 2011

Hi! I'm following the steps on the wiki to generate the NativeBoost plugin. First of all I'd like to know if these steps are up to date (there has been some activity since december when they were written). Then, I successfully generated sources but don't know what to do next. Is it possible to generate a CMakeFile, or how do I build everything? Thanks! -- Javier PimÃ¡s Ciudad de Buenos Aires
