Settings Browser - Save and Load Settings

Where does the settings browser save settings? It says it saves them to disk but doesn't say where and I can't find them. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html

Sources location and name, PharoLauncher
by stephan Sept. 15, 2017

Sept. 15, 2017

After Peter's tweet about the automatic downloading of a vm I decided to try the improved PharoLauncher myself. I like the automatic downloading of a vm. When trying it, I noticed that the sources dependency changed to a very unusable one: each image needs its own specific sources file. Stephan

What is needed to make sure the author/committer name is shown in a method version instead of 'GitHub' when using Iceberg? Stephan

[Ann][Pillar] Travis -> Bintray for PDFs
by Stephane Ducasse Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

Hi with Damien Pollet, we went over all the booklets and some of the Pharo books currently written in Pillar and made sure that each time you commit - a travis job is run - latex is produced as well as pdf - the pdf is stored on bintray - the release versions are stored on the github repo (I should verify) So now you can just do a PR and you get a super nice PDF. Have a look at Glorp or Voyage for example - https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Glorp - https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/Booklet-Voyage You can access the bintray files from the squarebracketassociates lovely binTray account :) https://bintray.com/squarebracketassociates/wip/download_file?file_path=voy… I'm writing a doc of the process so that other people can do it for their private projects.

Pharo 6.1 32bit/64bit on CentOS 7 with Iceberg
by Andrei Chis Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

Hi, Does anybody use Pharo 6.1 (32 or 64 bit) on CentOS 7? I am getting randomly the following crash when trying to clone a repository from github.

Directory structure on files.pharo.org
by stephan Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

This looks like it is missing directories. On the other hand, perhaps exposing the build steps as directories might not be the best idea, as that is unlikely to remain stable. http://files.pharo.org/image/70/ Stephan

Bintray for Pharo7 images?
by Holger Freyther Sept. 14, 2017

Sept. 14, 2017

Hey, I keep on clicking on the "bintray" badges to get to a recent Pharo7 image but after looking at the Jenkinsfile I don't see the script being invoked and given the timestamp of "201706...." it seems no images were uploaded for a while? Should we remove the bintray badge or upload them again? Would there be any objection to link to http://files.pharo.org/get-files/70/pharo.zip from the README.md to get the latest image/sources/changes? cheers holger

Tricky Metaclass>>binding
by Denis Kudriashov Sept. 13, 2017

Sept. 13, 2017

I found interesting trick in system: the way how class side perform #binding message: Metaclass>>binding "return an association that can be used as the binding To share it between methods, reuse an existing one if possible" ^self methodDict ifEmpty: [nil -> self] ifNotEmpty: [:dict | dict anyOne classBinding] It leads to interesting behaviour of class without class side methods: NewClass class binding == NewClass class binding "==> false" Generally I discovered in the logic which decode class of method in last literal. Interesting that for instance side methods it is always represented by GlobalVariable. And for class side methods it is always general Association. Can we make this behaviour more consistent? And will it improve the system? (I thing about possible complications to bootstrap). As solution I would introduce new kind of LiteralVariable: ClassBinding with two subclasses InstanceSideBinding and ClassSideBinding. They will take place in last method literal. InstanceSideBinding will be used in Smalltalk dictionary for classes instead of GlobalVariable. And it will keep variable with class side binding. So the trick will be not needed anymore. So what do you think?
