Metacello and preparing a release?
by Holger Freyther Nov. 2, 2015

Nov. 2, 2015

Hi, I have an application that is about to be moved into production. Currently it is pulling "stable" or sometimes bleedingEdge of other configurations. After the system moves from testing into production I would like to have tight control of which packages are updated from one version to another. E.g. not have a Voyage "stable" upgrade just because there is a new stable version but probably at the same time still use a symbolic reference myapp-stable-5 to load the package? Is there a common/known to work approach. I could identify all used Metacello configs and move them to my own infrastructure and then copy the use packages as well. Is there tooling support for adding such a "freeze"? How do other handle a release of an application that needs to be updated in an "incremental" way? cheers holger

Sista cons
by Ben Coman Nov. 1, 2015

Nov. 1, 2015

I just bumped into a very nice read on Sista that I had missed before... http://www.slideshare.net/esug/sista-talkesug2 Slide 52 states cons are... Some optimisations are difficult: * Instruction selection * Instruction scheduling * Register selection and just thinking out loud, I wonder what possibility there might be after Sista that its hotspot detection could be used to flag/prioritise methods which a human could manually optimise, providing & recording the conditions under which that human-optimised method/call-stack can be used ?? cheers -ben

Does anyone remember details of a "pro-Smalltalk" merger circa 2013?
by Richard Sargent Nov. 1, 2015

Nov. 1, 2015

I heard an anecdote of a recent merger between two companies in which one had over 200 people supporting a Java application and the other had ~25 people supporting a Smalltalk application. The surprising result was that the Smalltalk application was selected for the merged company rather than the Java one. I would like to know which companies were involved, when this occurred, and what the precise details were. Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Does-anyone-remember-details-of-a-pro-Smalltalk-merge… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
