[Pharo-project] Pharo is exploding

by Igor Stasenko

it was a time, when were able to track all activities around squeak, pharo and vm.. today the amount of updates, news and activities is just overwhelming.. a rusty locomotive, which once staying in backyard, repaired by Stef and Marcus and now goes faster and faster :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Nagare - a new flexible logger for Smalltalk

by Masashi UMEZAWA

Hello all, I have recently developed a new logging library called Nagare. http://code.google.com/p/nagare-logger/ Nagare is designed to be simple and scalable. Contrary to other logging frameworks which provide rich set of log output methods (file, socket, DB, etc.), Nagare just connects to fluentd (http://fluentd.org) And Fluentd does the various log processing jobs. Features: - Simple log interfaces with reliable backend - Semi-structured logging (Not only String, you can store structured records in log) - Flexible - you can easily customise log-tags, log policy, etc. - Portable (runs on Squeak, Pharo, VisualWorks) Enjoy! -- [:masashi | ^umezawa]

Re: [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] Fun with spock (NativeBoost FFI)

by Lawson English

I am trying to implement an asString method for gmp floats but I don't quite see how. Prototype for getting a string is: "Function: char * mpf_get_str (char *str, mp_exp_t *expptr, int base, size_t n_digits, mpf_t op)" where mp_exp_t *expptr is just a pointer to a long, and size_t is just a long. I don't get how to set up the primitive call and how to evoke it in the asString method. -- Squeak from the very start (introduction to Squeak and Pharo Smalltalk for the (almost) complete and compleate beginner). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6601A198DF14788D&feature=view_all

Re: [Pharo-project] Semantic Versioning

by Dale Henrichs

I think you are referring to the the fact that there are ways to go through commits and remove sensitive data from them, however, unless I'm mistaken, the SHA of the commit gets changed when you modify it, so you may have "modified a commit" but you have done so by copying it to a new identity. The original commit with the origin SHA still exists and is accessible unless you take further steps to delete the specific commit, so in the end the commit _is_ immutable.

The basis (Pharo+Zn+Zdc) is there, I don't think these are major undertakings, but they can get stuck on some small seemingly insurmountable detail.

Regarding Fuel package loader ... Metacello was intended to extensible from the very beginning, so it should be possible to incorporate Fuel and it's package loader into the mix ... the complexity of the project will really depend upon how versions of the packages are managed ...

Re: [Pharo-project] Semantic Versioning

Francois, No documentation for how Metacello works under the covers, but I would be willing to help with your exploration --- your questions and my answers might become the documentation ... There are several layers: - metacello configuration specification language - metacello constructors that transform specification language into specifications - metacello specification classes - project/package/group/repository specifications - repository list specifications - package list specifications - metacello loaders - metacello load directives - metacello toolbox If you are curious about a specific area let me know and I can give you some pointers to where to start exploring code (the debugger/inspector would be your firend) ...

[Pharo-project] hints for bulk notification

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi guys. When importing a package with fuel, I am sending SystemChangeNotifier uniqueInstance classAdded: aBehavior inCategory: category asSymbol. for EACH class ... that is really slow. so...as part of GSoC we will try to improve this. I would like to do bulk events, that is, one even that receives a list of items rather than one. I don't know anything about SystemChangeNotifier nor SystemAnnouncer. So, we would relaly appreciate some help/hints of how can we implement this. Maybe an example would help. Thanks! -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
