Yes, I think this is the way to goâ¦ there are better things to do than to keep it alive with the limited resources we have. And if the file system is available, all scripts loading things from there will continue to work. Marcus

Thanks. That's cool. Is there any tutorial that explains step by step what is needed to host your own instance of SH besides loading the configurationOf? What are the prerequisites? any webserver and mongodb. Something else? How can I configure it? For instance, where I define the connection settings to mongoDB. How should I configure mongo? etc etc etc Thanks!

### Here's what I've been up to since the last WhatsUp: Pharo Packaging (https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/stable/) - update VM - separation of core and desktop packages - fix some problems with Pharo packaging for Ubuntu - set up a Jenkins job to build Pharo packages automatically - failed creating an old ubuntu slave for jenkins to build the Pharo VM - create Pharo's Ubuntu PPA: https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/stable/ - improve bash scripts that generate the deb files - ask Esteban to fix some embedding of libraries (thank you Esteban, but we have more to fix) - update pharo download page to refer to ubuntu packages - report many VM issues - add cairo as a dependency for ubuntu packages - create a man page for Pharo Pharo launcher (by Erwan Douaille) (http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/PharoLauncher) - deprecate "old" packages - work on a configuration - jenkins job (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoLauncher/) - move to Pharo team on SmalltalkHub - various small fixes Misc - make XMLParser not depend on XMLWriter (http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/XMLParser) - make SmalltalkHub easily installable (with a configuration and a jenkins job) (with Nicollas Petton and Benjamin van Ryseghem) (http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2013-May/078746.html) - check and clean-up Sebastian Tleye's fixes for traits - pair-program with Mathieu Dehouck on his layouting algorithm - back-port the "user-directories" patch from 3.0 to 2.0 (getting the home, desktop, documents... directories) (issue #10406) - pair program with Benjamin van Ryseghem on issues #7215 and #10139 - fix some problems with Gutemberg (http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DamienCassou/Pier-Gutemberg) - update Pier3Book job on jenkins - work on a few slides to show that Pharo classes are objects and class methods are polymorphic (compared to Java) - work on a Pharo lecture ### What's next, until 2013-05-19 (*): work on the Pharo lecture continue the Pharo launcher with Erwan merge all the bash scripts for the Ubuntu packages force Esteban to fix the embedding of external libraries in the VM -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

We are sorry that our server configuration had unforeseen side effects. Your observations are absolutely correct: our security officer blocked these requests based on IP and user agent string which is the reason why your tests now fail. First of all: we did not know what the purpose of these requests was. We just saw regularly strange hits within a small time range like "/page-that-will-never-ever-exist/?C=M%3BO%3DD" that we could not explain and which were never announced to us. As the Cmsbox of pharo-project.org was aggressively attacked (thousands of requests) last weekend by robots and even killed several times (out of memory) we were heavily restricting what comes through to the Cmsbox and what not. And these requests did not make it... sorry. But: please note that our infrastructure is not a playground. It is a productive environment for hundreds of websites which is the reason that we became very careful about security attacks. Using mod_security for Apache and other tools we are restricting access to cmsbox websites as there are a lot of unwanted visitors out there. Besides, a Pharo image cannot handle unlimited requests and we cannot load balancing to infinity. Therefore we focus to keep the existing resources free for real website visitors and some legitimate (and unfortunately rarely intelligent) robots. Of course we are willing to discuss solutions which fulfil some criteria such as a rate limit (max. request count per minute) and we will allow these requests to get through again. Do you have propositions how this could be integrated within this test suite? Or could not be a separate Pharo image on a testing environment we would provide be a better solution for such a test suite? Thank you for your understanding!

[Pharo-project] Pharo VM - More Memory on Mac

by Dennis Schenk

Hi all, I know there is already a related question about the Pharo VM on Windows. But as it seems, it is kind of hard to get over 512MB there, so I'm trying to do stuff on Mac. When using Cog I was able to use Cog.app --args -memory 2000m to allow Cog to run with 2GB of memory. Which then works fine with the same data I want to work with in Pharo. But I would like to use Pharo 2.0 and the Pharo VM, instead of Pharo 1.4 and the Cog VM. How would I achieve giving the Pharo VM more memory on Mac? If I am not mistaken, I currently only have 1GB, which is not enough, my image crashed when dealing with large data. Also, is there a way to check how much memory the VM has available in the workspace? I tried some arguments, but could only find out if they had any effect by getting to a crash after letting it do some work. Cheers, Dennis

[Pharo-project] the future of squeaksource

by Andrei Vasile Chis

Hi all, Given that SmalltalkHub is now stable we were considering to discontinue SqueakSource. Our idea is to provide a grace period of a couple of months to allow the current active users to migrate their projects to the new service and then simply put squeaksource in read-only mode (simply exposing the directory structure and allowing downloads). What do you think about it ? Are there any good reasons to still keep SqueakSource alive? Cheers, The SCG Team
