TextModel with custom context menu in Spec

by Andrei Chis

Hi, I want to have a TextModel with a custom contextual menu. Is there any other solution then subclassing TextModel and overriding #codePaneMenu:shifted: ? Cheers, Andrei

Ouch, this bug is really annoying :( I really feel like I should remove the pharo ppa from my system... I'm hitting it regularly because there are some leftovers configs using it. Hits me when trying to push a big slice to PharoInbox, had to quit and restart the save process.

Even more, i cannot call user who installed some rare unix distro on his machine such as "Wheezy 7" the 'basic' one. Basic users don't even know it exists.

BTW, I had issues w/ ppa this week end during a Hackathon. I wanted my teammate to install pharo on his Wheezy 7 Debian and it failed. Now, we had to enable multiarch to get things running. Pretty out of reach for basic users. As I had to put stuff on a Wheezy 7 server down the line, the get.pharo.orgthing worked better as I had no admin rights.

I changed the implementation to not have hard limit (the arbitrary large number is there just to be "compatible" with previous implementation). This means, that you can actually change in your image the check and completely ignore limits and just keep growing if it necessary. Now, since you using VM which don't have a limit, but problem still persists, it seems like it somewhere else.. :/ i just found that after one merge, my changes get lost we're just plugged them back in, and it should be back again with newer VMs.. but the problem could be more than just semaphores.. if merge broken this, it may break many other things, so we need time to check I try to look at it some more time. I'm using the pharo-vm from the launchpad build. Are the changes supposed to be in this one? Norbert Launchpad? You mean ppa? I can't say i remember all the details how changes to VM source gets into ppa distro, and how fast they get there. @Damien, can you enlighten us? Well, the VM which i downloaded recently using zero-conf script, having limit back to 256. Just some merge mistake, which now is fixed.. means that couple builds will use limit-based implementation.. but then it will be back to my implementaiton.
