Re: [Pharo-project] Update 10458 fails with MNU

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

I published 48 in pharo but this is strange because we have the repository to gofer and I do not understand why this package is not found.

Thanks martin my mistake. indeed this is normally Gofer is not part of Pharo. But was used to I will copy the package for now in pharo. We should really discuss if we want to have installer or gofer in the core. Stef > Downloaded 09.09.3, install fresh, launch, System->update. > > Runs for a while, then fails while loading 10458.

Re: [Pharo-project] OT: vm performance

Well you can think different, some links below point to a status screen I did for a VisualWorks server application Red varies from 0-100 % and the sum of the other colors Green, Blue, Light Blue, and Purple are measured as state changes as work progressed for 4 different processes. http://smalltalkconsulting.com/clientSupport/L/opsguide/Image18.gif http://smalltalkconsulting.com/clientSupport/L/opsguide/Image17.gif http://smalltalkconsulting.com/clientSupport/L/opsguide/Image16.gif I think... goodness that was 12 years back, I did something like... footaskcounter := footaskcounter + 10. foo msg1 footaskcounter := footaskcounter + 10. foo msg2 footaskcounter := footaskcounter + 10. foo msg3 footaskcounter := footaskcounter - 30. As you can see from the gif files it was easy to look at the visual and understand what the application was *doing*. The support team could look at Image18.gif and fully understand what was happening. Operations only knew that Image18.gif was *normal* and that Image16.gif was the loss of the mainframe network data feed connection,. and for Image17.gif the image was doing nothing useful, idle, but not insane...

Thanks! I was thinking in terms of "anything but Smalltalk" to avoid the obligatory FUD and Mud slinging. However, it does sound like a useful idea, and if the code is already written, it can't hurt to see what it shows. If it flags something, then I can figure out whether I can get the IT types to believe it.

[Pharo-project] Update 10458 fails with MNU

by Martin McClure

Downloaded 09.09.3, install fresh, launch, System->update. Runs for a while, then fails while loading 10458. Failure is MNU. In [] in ScriptLoader>>loadTogether:merge: the code [:fn | loader addVersion: (self loadVersionFromFileNamed: fn)] Is failing, #loadVersionFromFileNamed: is answering nil when fn is 'Gofer-lr.48.mcz'. And, indeed my package-cache does not contain 'Gofer-lr.48.mcz', but it does have Gofer-lr.51.mcz. Regards, -Martin

[Pharo-project] OT: vm performance

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Hello all, Here I am referring to a vm in the OS sense. Suppose you are forced to run code on a virtual machine running on a blade computer hidden behind locked doors. Access to the machine is limited to a remote desktop connection. You suspect that the machine is far too busy for its own good. Is there any way to test that? Is there any way to separate network latency from the box being slow, or perhaps just plain busy restoring a backup to fix up the most recent crash of some piece of hardware or who-knows-what software? Something that periodically runs a lightweight benchmark and logs the results comes to mind. Is there something that is commonly used for such measurments? I would rather not add too badly to machine's workload, but it gets sloooooowwwwwww at times :( Getting some data to objectify that statement could be useful. Bill
