[Pharo-project] Zodiac - 1st delivery - A new (binary) socket stream
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

Hi, I would like to announce Zodiac, the project created in response to http://forum.world.st/WebClient-for-1-2-2-tt3485946.html#a3503921 according to the plan described in http://forum.world.st/SSL-HTTPS-SecureSocketStream-SSLSession-for-Pharo-Squ… You can follow the development by looking at the code in http://www.squeaksource.com/Zodiac.html Here is the first delivery: a new (binary) socket stream implementation. Warning: this is of course not yet code for general consumption, use the source and the comments. This is a proof of concept. This package has no further dependencies and does not add anything to system classes, it is thus safe to load. There are four stream classes, ZdcAbstractSocketStream, ZdcSimpleSocketStream, ZdcOptimizedSocketStream and ZdcSocketStream, inheriting from each other, adding successively more optimized implementations of the standard Smalltalk stream primitives. There is one helper class, ZdcIOBuffer to help in managing read and write buffers inside the streams. The interface towards Socket is also quite small (i.e. only a very small amount of the functionality in Socket is used). The 48 units tests as well as the functional test (see further) are all green on Pharo 1.2.x and 1.3 as well as on Squeak 4.2. The functional test is the following: Zinc HTTP Components recently got a its ZnNetworkingUtils class turned into a socket stream factory. By loading the new package Zinc-Zodiac from the ZincHTTPComponents repository, you can ask Zn to use the new socket stream implementation, like this: ZnNetworkingUtils default: ZnZodiacNetworkingUtils new. To reset, just do: ZnNetworkingUtils default: nil. The cool thing is: all of Zn's 151 unit tests, most doing actual HTTP client and server interactions (some over the internet) succeed using the new Zodiac socket stream implementation. Enjoy! Sven

So whether you put it on the cloud or on a real server should be a preference. Actually we don't have any experience with cloud, so help will be appreciated. We plan to have a virtual appliance based on virtual box / vmware /.... for an easy setup. Amazon VMI image should be a good idea too (we have to learn). For example: a / I work in an enterprise, I want to easily deploy Smalltalk web applications / tools on intranet for my co-workers and I don't want to spend time on setting up servers, apache, ...... So I could just get the appliance, start it and I'm ready to deploy several images. b / I want to set up a unique VPS (or cloud platform) to deploy several Smalltalk web apps / sites. I could just put my preferred Linux distro, then apt-get install smallharbour / pacman -s smallharbour / .... /etc/rc.d/smallharbour start and let's go ! 2/ SmallHarbour hosting service which be like SeasideHosting, but for commercial purposes. So you should create an account, pay a monthly / yearly fee related to the service you want, then either a/ upload your own image (like you do for SeasideHosting) if you're a power user b/ one-click deploy of pre-made image if you just want to setup a CMS, blog, write a new book, event planing, ... Pre-made images should be updated easily. 3/ People who need scalability, performance, deep customization don't need SmallHarbour :) Laurent Davorin Rusevljan > http://www.cloud208.com/ > > On May 17, 2011 6:26 PM, "laurent laffont" <laurent.laffont(a)gmail.com> > wrote: > > On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 5:29 PM, Bernat Romagosa < > tibabenfortlapalanca(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Just a ... > > Yes, that's why we haven't called it SeasideSomething. > > We want the project to be open and support several web frameworks.

Indeed I would like contributing to SmallHarbour to be easy. So Cloundfoundry should be one (worthwhile) among several ways to deploy SmallHarbour platform.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SmallHarbour project
by Romain Verduci May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

We actually have www.seasidehosting.st which can only be used for non-commercial applications. I am Romain Verduci, a french student in Information System (Master degree) who likes smalltalk since I have discovered it last year through Pharo. Today, I participate to weekly coding-dojos with other smalltalk fans (http://cara74.seasidehosting.st/) I am lucky to participate to ESUG SummerTalk this year with Laurent Laffont as mentor to develop SmallHarbour project. With the support of ESUG and under the ESUG SummerTalk 2011, we want to provide: - a simple platform to host commercial smalltalk web applications. - an easy way for everyone (and enterprise) to deploy their own hosting platform. - for the non-smalltalkers, provide ready Pier images to deploy basic blogs, event presentations and more. SmallHarbour has started from the actual Seaside Hosting code base. Our first objective is to port it to Pharo / Cog / Seaside 3 and document. For more informations about the project, you can follow us on www.smallharbour.org. If you have any needs or ideas in order to improve our project vision, we will be happy to collect them. We will setup community tools (issue tracker, public repositories, doc ....) when the exams period is over :) Best regards Romain Verduci Student in Information System (Master degree) - IMUS, IAE Savoie Mont-Blanc - Annecy Tel. : +33659892353 Mail : contact(a)romain-verduci.com

[Pharo-project] Should we flag this as inconsistency? (using thisContext)
by Igor Stasenko May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Consider following: case a) | a b | a := thisContext. [ b := thisContext ] value. a == b case b) | a b | a := thisContext. true ifTrue [ b := thisContext ]. a == b what you think, should those two cases evaluate to same value? not really matter if true or false (i prefer false, or course ;), but what matters is t hat if case a) evaluating to true, then case b) should also evaluate to true and if a) is false, then b) should be false as well. (The potential fix is to never inline blocks who referencing to thisContext variable). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

[Pharo-project] [TODO] 1.2.2
by Marcus Denker May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Core ----- -> All Tests Green -> No known Bugs reported -> Version number set to 1.2.2 -> New pre-build uploaded, will be linked as current stable core soon. >From now on, 1.2 will stay in "release" mode, we will just fix bugs that happen, but there will be no dedicted "1.2.3" release. (For 1.3, we will do the same: no point release, just an eternal stream of bug fixes in 1.3 Release The version number is just 1.3 plus the update number, that's enough) Full ---- Failing Tests: 4 Open Bugs: 1 http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=2&q=milestone=1.2.2-DevImage Issue 4166: Failing Tests: OBFakeBrowserTest (ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser needs update) So somone needs to take the current 1.3 of OB Metacello and sync the 1.2 config to load the same packaged. Should not be hard to do. -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe. Team RMoD.
