[Pharo-project] Versioning external packages
by roberto.minelli＠usi.ch Nov. 30, 2012

Nov. 30, 2012

Hi all, I'm using Monticello to version my source code. Suppose this use case: I need to add a message to the OrderedCollection class and I want my message to be versioned within my repository (i.e., when an user downloads my package she also get the new message in the OrderedCollection class. And another one, suppose I create a new Layout for Roassal that suits my needs. I will create a class in the category 'Roassal-Layout' which is not versioned in my repository. Is there a way to version it? Cheers, Roberto

[Pharo-project] Alt-. does not work anymore on Linux or?
by Torsten Bergmann Nov. 30, 2012

Nov. 30, 2012

>I can try. What I find a bit "odd" is that when I press Alt-. it >actually prints a $. (say in a Workspace) just as if I had *only* >pressed dot. That may be the main problem here - Alt is not properly >detected? Yes same here. But some Transcript outputs into UserInterruptHandler>>handleEvent: and you will notice that it comes with different "(evt at: 4)". Yes - to me it also looks as if ALT is not properly detected ... The default interrupt key value in UserInterruptHandler(class)>>new is ($. asciiValue bitOr: 16r0800) So I guess this bit enabeling is for ALT (CMD). Dont know why we dont use a shared pool with proper constants KEY_CMD_BIT := 16r0800 ($. asciiValue bitOr: KEY_CMD_BIT) which would be much clearer. At least to me. The code in UserInterruptHandler>>handleEvent: could profit from constants as well, I hate these "(evt at: 4)" and "(evt at: 3)" and "(evt at: 5)" with bit manipulation using magic 8 ...

[Pharo-project] Alt-. does not work anymore on Linux or?
by GÃ¶ran Krampe Nov. 30, 2012

Hey! I just realized that alt-. doesn't seem to fly on my Ubuntu 12.10 in Pharo 1.4 nor 2.0 one-clicks. It *does* however work fine in Squeak 4.3 one-click. In Squeak I can: Run "(Delay forSeconds: 5) wait" and interrupt it with alt-. Or just press Alt-. and get a debugger. Also it seems that Process browser in Squeak is opened up *without* having any process be suspended. Not sure why Pharo is different there and shows the UI process as suspended? regards, GÃ¶ran

[Pharo-project] Pharo Online Help new features
by Torsten Bergmann Nov. 29, 2012

Nov. 29, 2012

Mhhh ... translating Markdown -> HTML directly using JavaScript in the webbrowser is a good idea. Showdown does have BSD license. But "PageDown" seems like a better option. It is MIT and comes with an editor too. One can try it here: http://pagedown.googlecode.com/hg/demo/browser/demo.html Would allow to view tutorial pages written in markus as HTML in the webbrowser and provide an "edit" mode with an online editor. After editing the markdown can be sent back to the Pharo image and stored as markup in methods/classes (to package it with usual tools). Thx Torsten

by Torsten Bergmann Nov. 29, 2012

Nov. 29, 2012

I added some more features: 1. An help server control panel allowing you to start/stop the local help server and change port If you are on Windows and have NativeBoost 1.7 loaded you can also open the webbrowser right from the image (we need this URL opening for other platforms too!!!) 2. Added links to Pharo association, Download page, common Smalltalk sites like planet.smalltalk.org and world.st 3. Simple API browsing (comments and method comments) to browse classes and method docu in the webbrowser (see attached screenshot) You can load it in Pharo 2.0 directly using World menu: Tools -> ConfigurationBrowser -> PharoOnlineHelp and select "Install configuration (stable version)" from the context menu Anyone having a simple Markdown -> HTML converter (without much petit parsing whatever) Thanks T.

[Pharo-project] Internship
by Goubier Thierry Nov. 29, 2012

Nov. 29, 2012

Hi all, I'm looking for some help in parsing C files (and the opportunity to use Petit Parser (Parseur?)) so I'm looking for an internship candidate (Master level). The objective is to do a C preprocessor with a targeted integration in an existing C parser, and, in particular, provide high-level information about applied macros/defines for the tokens provided to the C parser itself. Platform should be Pharo (2.0:)). Place is Saclay, SW of Paris. The lab has a strong team on compilation tool chains for embedded manycores, from programming language design down to micro-kernel and mapping, and is able to select good interns for further work opportunities. http://www.cea.fr/ressources-humaines/stages-et-formation-en-alternance/les… Regards, Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des SystÃ¨mes Temps RÃ©el EmbarquÃ©s 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95
