[Pharo-project] Log of the retrospective analysis from Pharo 2.0
by StÃ©phane Ducasse March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

Hello happy pharoers Since Pharo2.0 will be released pretty soon, we led a retrospective analysis to learn and improve our process. Here are the notes taken by clement from the meeting led by esteban with all the team here. Pharo 2.0 Retrospective meeting by Esteban Lorenzo The Good BugTracker as Backlog Sprint / mini - sprint / pair programming Locking changes before release Community getting involved Web doc jenkins : the monkey, zeroconf script Smalltalkhub The Bad Trello We need a place to backlog what to do. We should use the FogBugz bug tracker Long development cycle (1 year), Focus problem : most things works but are not finished We should have a 1 to 2 months cycle with a part where we introduce new things and a part where we only fix bugs. At the end of each cycle, Pharo should be stable. Each cycle should have a retrospective meeting. We should pair program every friday afternoons on Pharo improvements. New failing test in Jenkins, Red builds on jenkins stayed forever We need a clear separation between pharo and pharo contribution both on smalltalk hub and Jenkins to have a clean green front end to show to end users In case of a red build, we need a quick meeting to pick someone to fix it. We need to fix the red builds on the friday' mandatory mini sprint Integrator bottleneck More intelligent monkey better tools (spec tool idea from Esteban where you just click accept and the slce is integrated) New features accepted only with tests and comments Only slices accepted no more change sets Pointless discussions on the mailing list Documentation : class comments, ... do not integrate undocumented features add code critics features in the monkey change the template of the class comment The Ugly 2 weeks lost : broken image during ESUG 2 weeks lost : beginning of the year : no VM working, jenkins couldnât test things. -> we will staged development. Communication failed : team and community For new features, send more mails to the Pharo or RMOD mailing list and less to the RMOD mailing list or private mails between few people Infrastructure VM : stability Stability : 1 VM release per Pharo release. 1 official Vm which is not just some VM from a build. Stability : VM not release if an acceptance list does not work with the VM. The acceptance list is for now all the Pharo core, seaside and Moose

[Pharo-project] grease-core extensions that exist in pharo 2.0
by Tudor Girba March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

Hi, (sorry for the cross-post, but I was not quite sure where to send it) In Grease-Core, there are a couple of String extensions (trimBoth, trimBoth:, trimLeft, trimLeft: trimRight, trimRight:, trimLeft:right:) that already exist in Pharo 2.0. I would like to remove them and let platform-specific extension packages add them if needed. Unfortunately, I do not have an account for the www.squeaksource.com/Seaside30.html repository. Can anyone give me access to the repository? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Problem solving efficiency grows with the abstractness level of problem understanding."

[Pharo-project] Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus
by Camillo Bruni March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

I did a quick experiment to see if the shortcuts can be displayed nicely ;) Anyway esteban did already a hell of a job to add all the keys, still the menus and shortcuts will need some more love in 3.0.

[Pharo-project] Custom VM with(out) NB
by Torsten Bergmann March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

Hi Igor, I looked at "CogWindowsConfig" since it was provided in the file in workspace of ImageConfiguration.st. After that I browsed this class using "ALT-B" and saw the subclasses but only within category "CMakeVMMaker-Windows". Stupid me - maybe it was too late after installing all the tools. Now it is clear and easy! Thanks a lot! Bye Torsten

[Pharo-project] Custom VM with(out) NB
by Torsten Bergmann March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

I played with building a custom windows VM last night (setting up all the tools, ...) to see how well it goes these days. I generated an own one by subclassing CogWindowsConfig and got the final executable after building. Still this default VM did not have NativeBoost. I used https://gitorious.org/cogvm/blessed which I thought is the usual source for the Pharo VM for 2.0. Will I require "NativeBoost-CogPlugin"? This is not loaded in the generator image which I grabbed using "newImage.sh" (currently pointing to https://ci.inria.fr/pharo/job/Cog-Git-Tracker/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/…") Thanks T.

[Pharo-project] [bug] window graphical leftovers
by Tudor Girba March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

Hi, On Mac, when I move a window downwards I get some leftovers on the background (see picture from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18323746/Tmp/window-graphical-leftovers.png) I am using the latest Pharo 2.0 and Pharo VM (updated every day). Am I the only one to see this? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "If you interrupt the barber while he is cutting your hair, you will end up with a messy haircut."

March 15, 2013

Hi, Is there a way to get Jenkins trigger a build when we commit something to SmalltalkHub? Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "We can create beautiful models in a vacuum. But, to get them effective we have to deal with the inconvenience of reality."
