ubuntu ppa not up-to-date
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Hi, on slack with @latsabben we found out that pharo-launcher ppa is not up-to-date latest ubuntu relase is Wily (Oct 22), but in the ppa there's only trusty from June, which is two releases ago. I don't think that this is good for newcomers. And if you encounter a problem with installation, change your package distribution ( System Settings -> System -> Software & Updates -> Other Software -->> then edit the distrubution; this could perhaps be mentioned also in the install instructions ) Peter

Hapao2>>addMethodEdges:scope:view MNU
by sheridan＠sheridan-mahoney.com Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Hi, I'm trying to run Hapao2 on the String class and its subclasses, and encountered an error. I downloaded the latest image (50452) for Windows, loaded Roassal2 and S2py, and tried to run the following code: (Hapao2 runTestsForClasses: String withAllSubclasses , StringTest withAllSubclasses) visualize. This worked in previous versions. This time I got an MNU error in Hapao2 >> addMethodEdges:scope:view: It looks like RTEdgeBuilder isn't loaded. Can someone tell me if I am missing a step? Many thanks, Sheridan

Versionner packages missing in
by Pavel Krivanek Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Hi, I found that the Versionner package version Versionner-Tests-Resources(TheIntegrator.17) do not have its copy in the PharoExtras/Versionner repository. This stable version is placed only in the main Pharo/Pharo50 repository. Can someone, please, copy that? It's not possible to load the stable configuration of Versionner without it. Cheers, -- Pavel.

A Question about Metacello's #repository:
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

Hi, I have a question about the way repositories are specified in Metacello (i.e. by means on #repository:). Say I use FileTree where the files come from a classic VCS or just from some archive. Using ZeroConf I can get an image+vm, etc. I can use the config command line handler to load the configuration from a local file directory (I haven't tried this yet, but I assume no scheme results in a MCDirectoryRepository). So far so good. The question is, what do I put in as argument to #repository: in my baseline ? baseline1: spec <version: '1-baseline'> spec for: #common do: [ spec blessing: #baseline; repository: 'http://mc.stfx.eu/Neo'; package: 'Neo-Console-Core'; group: 'default' with: #('Neo-Console-Core'); group: 'Core' with: #('Neo-Console-Core') ] Obviously not a remote http repository. But also not an absolute path, since I do not know where the user placed the files. Ideally, it should be possible to leave out repository and let it resolve to wherever the configuration was located. Can that be done ? Or is there another way to do this ? Thanks, Sven

Preparing for the (already here) future world of multi-core PCs
by EuanM Nov. 19, 2015

Nov. 19, 2015

(And yes, I know it's actually here already). Now that clock-speed rises have stalled, basically forever, desktop and laptop PCs are growing ever-increasing numbers of cores in their CPU chips, Is there design and conceptualisations work going on to see how Pharo will deal with providing increased access to the additional processing power? One thing I have been thinking about is a set of co-operating Pharo VMs. But given memory and storage are shared, this may not provide as large a benefit as we'd like. Or moving Pharo into being having multiple native-threads, and taking Pharo into a concurrency route. Or - whatever it is I am too ignorant to see. This all strikes me (like the way Smalltalk is extending its system boundary out onto the web with Monticello, Pharo is extending that via the Configuration Browser and Versionner) as a way Pharo could build on Smalltalk, while becoming its own thing. (as opposed to being a Smalltalk with a very big set of classes). Is there thought work going on in this area yet? DabbleDB had a system of running multiple VMs on a server, and hot-swapping them in and out depending on their CPU loading. Did that ever get developed intop a more generally-useful facility?

Hi guys, I am trying to add a registered user into my team via Edit Team -> add button and I get a "Invalid username or password" error. Note that I selected the user from the autocomplete... so the username should be correct. Any ideas? -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
