Recursively downloading Pharo packages / Building images with Nix
by Luke Gorrie July 18, 2017

July 18, 2017

Howdy! I want to build Pharo images using Nix <https://nixos.org/nix/>. On the one hand this should look basically like the Jenkins scripts, but on the other hand the build must run inside a sandbox that is isolated from the network. So I need to download all of the code that I need ahead of time because I am not able to contact Github, SmalltalkHub, etc, once the build is running. I am not sure how to approach this problem yet but I have a preliminary question. Is there an easy way that I could "recursively" download all the Smalltalk code (etc) required for an application onto the local filesystem, and then load this into a Pharo image that does not have network access? Concrete example - How could I write a Pharo script that downloads all the software required to install Moose in a standard Pharo 6.0 image? Then how could I load that into an image off the local filesystem? I feel like there should be a solution here, since Monticello seems to be able to cache packages locally on the filesystem, but I don't how enough experience to quite know how to approach it. If this is possible then the "utopian" vision could be to recursively download every Pharo package that exists, in every relevant version, and make them available in the Nix universe. This is what Nix does with Python, R, Emacs, etc packages. Or if this turns out to be difficult for some reason then I could perhaps build the Pharo image externally - e.g. on the Inria Jenkins - and then import that into Nix as an opaque binary. This is probably the simplest solution but it is not very appealing from my Nix-centric viewpoint because I won't have visibility into what has changed between one image build and the next. Feedback would be much appreciated! -Luke P.S.

Zinc redirect bug?
by Aliaksei Syrel July 15, 2017

July 15, 2017

Hello, I am trying to download a file from *bintray* with the help of ZnClient. I'm doing the following: ZnClient new systemPolicy; url: ' https://dl.bintray.com/syrel/Moz2D/osx/development/i386/libMoz2D.dylib'; get; yourself which results in Error 403. At the same time wget works as expected: wget https://dl.bintray.com/syrel/Moz2D/osx/development/i386/libMoz2D.dylib Trying to open this url in a browser works too. I tried to find out what may cause the error and it looks like it is something related to redirects because request and response headers look good... Thanks, Alex

macOS Sierra support
by Sven Van Caekenberghe July 15, 2017

July 15, 2017

Hi, Can someone who really knows/understand please describe where to find the necessary Pharo VM's to run on the newly released macOS Sierra (10.12) ? In particular it seems old VM's just stop working and recent VM's that do work either have issues or cannot run older (3.0, 4.0) images. Thanks, Sven PS: I have not yet upgraded, but one of my colleagues did and he got stuck: even after we found a VM that worked, it could only run 5.0 images, not his production 4.0 images. Needless to say, this is not good. PS2: Another really annoying problem is the following: he saved all his (really important) scripts using Script Manager as a FUEL. Moving between 4.0 and 5.0 FUEL stops working (version incompatibility) - this is really not cool, why would a newer FUEL not be able to read older FUEL. He ended up copying string data by opening the binary FUEL file in a text editor.

Loading GitHub repositories in Pharo 4
by Sven Van Caekenberghe July 13, 2017

July 13, 2017

Hi, Like others I seem to have trouble loading GitHub repositories, in Pharo 4 in my case. Basically, the following fails: Metacello new baseline: 'P3'; repository: 'github://svenvc/P3'; load. But it also fails as dependency when specified like this: baseline: 'P3' with: [ spec repository: 'github://svenvc/P3' ]; The problem seems to be related to the version info and meta data. (This project was created with Iceberg). MCFileTreeStCypressReader>>#loadVersionInfo self hasMonticelloMetadata ifTrue: [ ^ info := self extractInfoFrom: (self parseMember: 'version') ]. ... The test #hasMonticelloMetadata succeeds, but 'version' is not found in /Users/sven/Tmp/pharo4/github-cache/svenvc/P3/master/svenvc-P3-6897866/BaselineOfP3.package/monticello.meta/version In the above method, there seems to be code to handle missing meta data, but it is not reached. Is this supposed to work ? Is there a way around this ? Thx, Sven

integrating FileDialog into Pharo 7
by Peter Uhnak July 12, 2017

July 12, 2017

Hi, some people expressed interest in integrating File Dialog https://github.com/peteruhnak/file-dialog into Pharo as the default file dialog. Is it something people are interested in, or is the current solution sufficient for them? Peter
