Unity Happens One Step at a Time (was Re: [squeak-dev] Porting my programs from Squeak 3.10.2 to 3.5)
by Sean DeNigris Sept. 2, 2020

Sept. 2, 2020

I've been pontificating about unity between dialects, convinced more than ever that we need each other and have more of a simple (not easy) communication problem than anything else, and pestering the principals of various communities, so I decided to put some concrete action behind it - some "skin in the game" as we say in the U.S. After reading Trygve's frustration with Squeak image/VM management, and Eliot's mention of Pharo's solution, I've extended PharoLauncher to manage and run Squeak (and GToolkit) VMs/images. The current limitation vs. launching standard Pharo images is that you have to download the VMs and images and manually install them due to differences in URL and other conventions. However once the files are in place, you can create templates allowing images to be created at will from different Squeak versions and automatically run with the correct VM. Auto-installation could probably be done if someone cares enough but it scratched my itch for the moment to manage GT images. Iâm sure Cuis support could be added, but the hooks are now available and someone more familiar with its VM/image installation might have an easier time. Until my latest PR [1] is merged, brave souls can play with it and give feedback by loading my issue branch [2] into the latest Launcher release [3]. NB only tested on Mac. It seemed Trygve was at his wits' end, but maybe this and other small gestures will let him know how important he is to our community if not motivate him to resume his important work. I challenge you, as a member of our wider Squeak/Pharo/Cuis family: what small action can you take today that unites us rather than divides us? We can be each others' supporters even if technical, vision and other differences keep our codebases somewhat distinct. I believe the seeds of wars are planted when I lack the grace to give those around me the benefit of the doubt that they mean well and are trying their best. There is more than enough of that already in the world. Letâs invent a *better* futureâ¦ Your brother, Sean 1. https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/pull/503 2. https://github.com/seandenigris/pharo-launcher/tree/enh_vm-image-custom-hoo… 3. https://pharo.org/download

'VOMongoConnectionError' when dowloading mcz from smalltalkhub.com
by Dale Henrichs Sept. 1, 2020

Sept. 1, 2020

SmalltalkHub mcz downloads are broken ... looks like a mongo server has gone down? .... I ran into this problem running production tests yesterday and today I find that while the smalltalkhub site is up, I cannot download an mcz file, using this url: http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz. If you are not going to keep the current smalltalkhub site functional, why don't you switch to the static site and give those of us who DEPEND upon static access to mcz files a reliable site to connect to ... I have plans to move completely away from mcz files, but I didn't plan on doing that this week ... and frankly I don't have the cycles to do that ... right now ... Here's a screenshot of a manual login and navigation to the mcz file that is failing to download: And when I press the `Download .mcz` button, I get the following "response" after a delay:

OSProcess and CommandShell updated on GitHub for Pharo
by David T. Lewis Sept. 1, 2020

Sept. 1, 2020

These updates bring OSProcess/CommandShell up to date with the latest development versions, and include earlier fixes for Pharo by Max Leske. The repositories are at https://github.com/dtlewis290/OSProcess-Tonel https://github.com/dtlewis290/CommandShell-Tonel A new feature of possible interest is: OSProcess outputOf: 'ls -lR | wc -l' This is a convenience method that handles parsing, piping, and error handling for a unix-style command pipeline. Both OSProcess and CommandShell must be loaded. Any errors detected in the external commands will be displayed in a Pharo debugger, proceed through the debugger to obtain the final stdout result.
