[Pharo-project] Amazon AWS S3 Monticello Mirror
by Sven Van Caekenberghe May 15, 2011

May 15, 2011

Hello, I did a little proof of concept: I set up an Amazon AWS S3 Monticello Mirror. I wrote a Smalltalk script using the Zn HTTP client, the Zinc-AWS S3 client and some pieces of MCHttpRepository and ZnMonticelloServerDelegate to copy all 273 entries of http://www.squeaksource.com/ZincHTTPComponents/ into a folder called 'ZincHTTPComponents' in an S3 bucket named 'mc-mirror'. Then I configured things a bit to make it look like a public read-only Monticello HTTP repository. The net result is this Monticello repository: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://mc-mirror.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ZincHTTPComponents/' user: '' password: '' Which works as it should on unmodified images (except that it is read-only). With a proper DNS CNAME entry the hostname could become something more friendly. Next, I will try to turn this little hack into something more robust, that can also efficiently resynchronize the copy when versions are added to the original. Then, this could become the bot I talked about earlier. IMHO this could be a very robust fallback mechanism for SqueakSource, and even a primary one for those repositories you never commit to (which is most of them) and thus take off some the load of SqueakSource.

Hi. IMPORTANT: This is not the final 1.3 release, it just one simple snapshot and one point. This image is based in PharoCore 1.3 13201 and includes also several fixes for the external packages like OB. Thanks to Fernando the Transcript is now much better. The image is here: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28547/Pharo-1.3-13201.zip And it was build by Hudson: https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Pharo/job/Pharo%201.3/150/ Nile was removed from dev image which means there are only 3 failing tests :) Best regards, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

[Pharo-project] Problem in OBCmdCreateCategory (and probably Rename...)
by Friedrich Dominicus May 15, 2011

May 15, 2011

I'M not sure how to send patches and so we go. the execute implementation of the above class give an error while calling self categories sorted Set does not understand ordered is the message. Well I hacked it like this: execute | categories category before | categories := self categories asOrderedCollection sorted. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ category := OBCompletionRequest new assisted: true; collection: categories; prompt: 'Add Category'; signal. category isNil ifTrue: [ ^ self ]. before := requestor children at: requestor selection + 1 ifAbsent: [ nil ]. target organization addCategory: category before: (before isNil ifFalse: [ before name ]). self select: (target categoryNodeNamed: category) with: requestor announcer Probably bad as hell but "it works" Regards Friedrich
