[Pharo-project] Installing Cog - was Pharo 1.2.1 crashing

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Sig, Is there anything I should know about using the Stack or Cog vms from Hudson? It looks like the zips contain a vm, some external plugins and drivers. Can they simply be dumped in a directory with the image/changes and launched using a shell script? Below, are you recommending the Stack vm to remove Cog features that might be causing problems?

Re: [Pharo-project] webdoc

by Tudor Girba

Great job. It looks nice indeed: - I like the expanding of methods - I like the section expanders (from Instance / Class Methods Summary) - The search in the frames from the left is quite snappy - The subclassing showing / hiding - The inheritance diagram - I like the full urls like: http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/webdoc/doc/class/BlockCannotReturn - The look is clean While playing with it, I also found a couple of issues: - sometimes it freezes in the sense that I select a class and nothing happens on the right frame. - I like the full urls, but, the problem is that they are hidden in the frame, so it's difficult to spot them - Some links in the Overview section are broken. It looks like there is some sort of pattern matching and there are false positives. For example, on the above mentioned page, there are links to "as:" and "ensure:" - The preview that pops out when hovering over methods is too slow and it only shows a white box for a long time. I would disable it for now - The inheritance diagram is interesting, but I do not exactly understand what it shows. For example, I selected Error and the diagram is like the one in the attachment. It looks like the current class, is displayed with more methods, but I do not understand how the rest of the classes were selected.

[Pharo-project] About marketing and exchange between companies

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi guys I was discussing with Sven and I think that we could improve two things: - better marketing: T3 Easy is the example of Pharo on the server! We should add this to our success story web page T3 Easy is our new entry level track & trace product, an HTML5 web app (using client side HTML+Javascript+CSS) on top of a REST server written in Pharo Smalltalk. It consists of 4 stateless Pharo Cog VM's running behind an Apache load balancer. The server uses Zinc HTTP Components, both for its server part, as well as for clients talking to other systems behind the scenes. Even the Open Street Map tile serving, which is pushing out many megabytes, is currently going through this server. Here is a live demo URL in case your are curious: http://easy.t3-platform.net?t=livedemo - More exchanges between companies building on top of pharo. Sven showed us its automatic deployement infrastructure (using monit) and the automatic update and it was really what you want. Four server automatically restarting and ... So I would like to urge you companies guys to create a pool of knowledge and recipe around pharo. If you have docs/scripts I can put them in shape for a deployment chapter Stef
