Pharo Launcher & Monticello & Code Repositories
by Benoit St-Jean Jan. 23, 2025

Jan. 23, 2025

1) I've been using Pharo Launcher 3.2 on Windows 10 for a while and it seems like there's a problem with launching images starting with version 11.Â It just doesn't work. Any hint? 2) On a totally different subject, is there a package to be able load the Monticello Browser tool back into the image starting with Pharo 11?Â It's really annoying to deprive users from easily loading code from all the repos still using the Monticello format! 3) Finally, is there a preferred ***central*** repository to store Pharo code?Â Something like Squeaksource was, or RubyGems (for Ruby) or Cincom Public Repository (VisualWorks Smalltalk) ? tia

The language is english and on the bod interface I explicitly said it but may be the company (a german company having an office at Paris pushes information as french â¦ who knows). Now on amazon Iâm even marked as author of a book I never wrote. > On 7 Nov 2024, at 12:27, giorgio ferraris <giorgio.ferraris(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > StÃ©phane Ducasse http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr 06 30 93 66 73 "If you knew today was your last day on earth, what would you do differently? ....ESPECIALLY if, by doing something different, today might not be your last day on earth.â Calvin & Hobbes

Server update: files.pharo.org on November, 13th
by Christophe Demarey Nov. 7, 2024

Nov. 7, 2024

Hi, We would like to inform you that we are currently setting up a new server to host Pharo files. Indeed, our current server reached its maximal storage capacity (500 GB) and we need to move it to another provider. The Pharo file server is used: - to publish new Pharo images and Virtual machines, - host Pharo Launcher files, - deliver Pharo images and Virtual machines for Pharo Launcher and zero-conf scripts, - and some other use cases. Next Wednesday, November, 13th, from 8am to 11am UTC: https://files.pharo.org will not be available! This shutdown is needed so that we can change the DNS to point to the new server, issue a new SSL certificate for this new server and some other actions. The new server may be put on line earlier if possible. Regards, The Pharo team.
