Ok, I created a pull request on https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm. I guess there should be a way to use the diff directly, instead of editing the file by hand. Stephan

What is your seaside application?
by Alexandre Bergel May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

Hi! Leonardo is a smart PhD Brazilien student, who is discovering the treasures we have built. He would like to analyze Seaside applications to analyze event propagation. I told Leonardo that the Pharo and Seaside communities are great and he will probably get help from us. So, a simple and quick-to-answer question, what is your Seaside application and how to access the code of it? Please, reply to this email with the smalltalkhub link that point to your application. Go go go! Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Thanks, David. Where do I find a precompiled cog vm with the changes to test with? (preferably mac, but linux will do). build.squeak.org doesn't seem to have a recent green build. Stephan

Getting access to the _whole_ smalltalkhub?
by Alexandre Bergel May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

Hi! As you know, the moose team is full of passionated and happy people willing to analyze software. We have great platforms to carry out analysis that are robust enough to compete with state-of-the-Art software analysis platforms out there. It would be great to have software to feed our wonderful tools. There are 123 873 packages on Smalltalkhub (!). Can we have easily access to them? I mean, a big big big .zip file would be fantastic with all the public software.

[ANN] Pharo VM packaging for Ubuntu
by Damien Cassou May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

Hi, I'm happy to announce a brand new packaging of the Pharo VM. The packaging works with all officially supported Ubuntu releases, both 32 and 64bits (see this list of Ubuntu support dates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases) I pushed these new packages to a different PPA so I can test without impacting current users : https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/unstable/+packages If you are using an old version of Ubuntu (e.g., Precise 12.04 or even Lucid 10.04), you should try with this new PPA. Please report problems by email to me directly. An advantage of this new packaging is that it should become much easier to create Ubuntu packages for your own Pharo projects. I will talk about that later as I try these new packaging mechanism on the Launcher, Pillar and Phratch projects. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

The funny side of Pharo : Message Definitely Not Understood
by kilon alios May 23, 2014

May 23, 2014

I felt adventurous today, so I said what the hell lets try to update Pharo with the updater tool. So I used world menu navigated to system and choose software update. And after a long download and method's compiling the attached image appeared :)

May 23, 2014

Student Volunteer Program ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you are a student wanting to attend ESUG at Cambridge this summer, have you considered being a student volunteer? Student volunteers help keep the conference running smoothly; in return, they have free accommodations, while still having time to enjoy the conference.

Pharo in Rasbian ?
by Alexandre Bergel May 22, 2014

May 22, 2014

Hi! A friend of mine recently bought a Raspberry pi and installed Rasbian, a Debian-like OS for Raspberry. Squeak and Scratch are installed per default. There is room to fill here...
