Loading scripts vs. configs with #stable and config browser (was: [ann] snapshotcello)

Just with the posted load script he does dont know if Pharo 1.4, 2.0 or 3.0 was used to develop it, so how does he know the Pharo version to use it without failures? A pharo version where it is not broken. Maybe the user is still using Pharo 2.0 but maybe the tool requires at least Pharo 3.0 ... What about a new user who starts tomorrow with Pharo and never read this announcement. Since he entered the mailinglist very late he missed the mail with the script. How can he now about this super cool package? Why cant it be more accessible? I propose: PLEASE define a #stable for the working versions and place an additional copy in: - "ss3.gemtalksystems.com/ss/MetaRepoForPharo20" (Pharo 2.0) or - "http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo30/main" (Pharo 3.0) when you know it runs in the according pharo version. It will then appear in the config browser. If it is not in the config browser of the current pharo version for easy loading then it does not really exist. ;) It only exists for the people who read about it in the mailinglist. Think of a first time user who downloads Pharo 2.0. He may never stumble over the load script or the tool in Smalltalkhub. I know: it may not yet be the best mechanism to provide packages to users (we need more infos on the configs, hence catalog and automatic verification in the future) - but still it is better than the "load scripts" and possible confusion. So please CARE ABOUT YOUR USERS and make your packages available like this so it can be easily accessible and loadable right from the according image! Same for Roassal, Moose, ... and all the nice packages that now appear in the Pharo universe... Thanks T.

question about mars
by StÃ©phane Ducasse July 27, 2013

July 27, 2013

Hi I thought that Mars was for Mac but it works on Linux. So is it a layer on top of GTK? How does it compare with the binding to VWxWidgets? What is the difference with the Cocoa native bridge? Stef
