Metacello CI Build

Dale has implemented some really cool Metacello features (e.g. bitbucket://, github://) after the version loaded in Pharo 4.0.

The above implementation (format bitAnd: 16rFFFF) is correct for Spur. In loading classes or traits via Fuel from 4.6 to 5.0 you're going to have to convert the format inst var to reflect its usage in Spur. So we need to be clear here. > > Is the issue that you're trying to load classes and/or traits from a Fuel file written by 4.6 or is it that as part of the Fuel load a new Trait gets created which has a format of 2?

announcer "dispersion"

by stepharo

Hi I was analysing the implementers of announcer and I think that there are far too many of them. To me this is the sign that we are doing something wrong. I would like to introduce an announcer in Model and make sure that most of the direct subclass of Object implementing an announcer take benefits of the Model one. What do you think? Stef

Re: [Pharo-dev] Design Question: Undefined vs. MyNullObject vs. #ifNil:

by Chris Muller

IMO, when you are talking about a type as primitive as a Date, then there is nothing wrong with ifNil: checks. You wouldn't want to do the same for Strings or Numbers. Date is right there with those. More broadly, I feel there is nothing inherently wrong with case-logic if it is TSTTCPW. In fact, I'm even against delgation if something exists only in one place and low chance for future expansion, etc. On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 4:03 PM, Sean P.
