[Pharo-project] [ANN] PharoDev-1.3-13173
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 28, 2011

April 28, 2011

Hi. IMPORTANT: This is not the final 1.3 release, it just one simple snapshot and one point. We all want a rock-solid Pharo 1.3 release, but that doesn't happens automagically. We all need to start using and testing the image before they are release. It is for the better of all of us. The more we test the more stable will be the release. So...we need your help. What you can do? 1) test test test test test. Use it. Take this image and use it for your regular work. 2) report bugs: http://www.pharo-project.org/community/issue-tracking 3) propose fixes: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/HowToContribute 4) Fix errors/failures tests 5) Load your OWN packages and projects now. Don't wait until Pharo1.3 is released and then ask "uuhh what happened to XXX? you removed? ohhh but I use it". 6) Do you maintain Metacello configurations? ok, if you test your project and works correctly in Pharo 1.3, please update (or create if you don't yet have it) the #stable, 7) Do you maintain packages included in Pharo? please check we are using the correct versions 8) I would like to see people testing AidaWeb, Magma, Fuel, Moose, DBXTalk, Seaside and all its friends, Zinc, FileSystem, etc, etc, etc. Pharo-1.3-13173 should work with Interpreter VM and with Cog. For Cog I recommend to download the last one from Eliot's page: http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/ Two little warnings: - The Transcript is read only....and it will probably be roll backed to the previous one - if text editing looks weird....it is Lukas's fault ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTMX1f8Lu5w Ok, the image is here: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28517/Pharo-1.3-13173.zip<https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28517/Pharo-1.3-13173.zip> And it was build by Hudson: https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Pharo/job/Pharo%201.3/111/ Best regards, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] ConfigurationOfMagma with support for Magma 1.2 and symbolic versions
by Miguel CobÃ¡ April 27, 2011

April 27, 2011

Hi all, I'm glad to announce a new version of ConfigurationOfMagma with support for Magma 1.2. This configuration has been tested on PharoCore 1.1.x PharoCore 1.2.x Thank you very much to Chris Muller who, as always, is working hard to keep Magma running on Squeak and Pharo. I used the same versions of packages he used in his scripts for Squeak in order to update the configuration. You must download the latest PharoCore image or update a existing one before installing Magma, as Magma needs some changes that were applied to Pharo post-release and are available in the update stream. Pharo 1.1.x ------------ Download PharoCore 1.1.2 from: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28341/PharoCore-1.1.2.zip Update it if necessary and save it. Pharo 1.2.x ------------ You have two options: 1. Take a released 1.2.1 from: http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/stable-core This is actually image update 12345. Evaluate: SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.2.2a'. update the image (it will update to 12350, at this time) and save it. 2. Take a snapshot of the upcoming 1.2.2 release of Pharo 1.2.x line from: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28436/PharoCore-1.2.2a-12345.zip update the image (it will update to 12350, at this time) and save it. Install Magma -------------- Ok, now you have an updated image. Load the configuration by evaluating: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma'; load. And depending on which of client, server or the full suite of Magma do you want, evaluate: - Magma client ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMagma) project version: #stable) load: 'Client'. - Magma server ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMagma) project version: #stable) load: 'Server'. - Magma tester ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMagma) project version: #stable) load: 'Tester'. For example, to load the full magma suite evaluate: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfMagma) project version: #stable) load: 'Tester'. This will load client, server and test of Magma. Running tests ------------- To run the tests evaluate: MagmaTestCase allowWriteBarrier: false. MagmaTestCase fullSuite maDebug. Stable versions --------------- This release of ConfigurationOfMagma includes support for Metacello's symbolic versions. Currently the #stable version of Magma is configured like this: Pharo version #stable version ------------- --------------- Pharo 1.1.x 1.2 Pharo 1.2.x 1.2 Pharo 1.3.x 1.2 That is, Magma 1.2 is the #stable version for Pharo 1.1, Pharo 1.2 and Pharo 1.3. Known issues -------------- Magma 1.2 loads correctly and appears to work for the basic things (create a repo, add data, commit, etc) in PharoCore 1.3 and Pharo 1.3, but the full suite hasn't ran correctly in the current unstable Pharo. So use Magma 1.2 on Pharo 1.3 on your own risk and not for production yet. When the issues (including the Transcript revert that should happen in Pharo soon) are addressed, a new announce will be made for Magma on Pharo 1.3 Any feedback welcome. Enjoy. -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://twitter.com/MiguelCobaMtz http://miguel.leugim.com.mx

[Pharo-project] roeltyper problem
by Tudor Girba April 27, 2011

April 27, 2011

Hi, I am trying to use RoelTyper, but I encountered subscript out of bounds and empty collection errors. It looks like this problem can be reproduced on 29 classes from Pharo 1.2.1. You can test it using: classes := Dictionary new. Object withAllSubclassesDo: [:each | [(TypeCollector typeInstvarsOfClass: each )] on: Error do: [:error | classes at: each put: error ]]. classes inspect I am not knowledgeable enough to dive into this. Can anyone help? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Value is always contextual."

[Pharo-project] SqueakSource
by Sven Van Caekenberghe April 27, 2011

April 27, 2011

I have trouble with SqueakSource. I can live with the fact that it goes down regulary, but now I seem to be losing code, and I can't fix it. I am missing 3 versions: Name: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.145 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 26 April 2011, 7:01:32 pm UUID: f9f0831d-5ffa-4a5c-a8ec-b276c9babc35 Ancestors: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.144 Name: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.144 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 26 April 2011, 1:44:01 pm UUID: 439b923a-997e-4f51-9b7d-90896f8dd97f Ancestors: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.143 Name: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.143 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 26 April 2011, 1:24:30 pm UUID: 08a56e5b-3270-4231-9568-4e5beffb58ae Ancestors: Zinc-HTTP-SvenVanCaekenberghe.142 I manually tried to copy them from my local package-cache to SS using the Copy button, that seemed to have gone OK, but they still don't appear on SS. Anyone any idea ? Thx, Sven
