Ramiro, They do deserve credit for persistence and skill. I *never* said they did bad work - only that they made a bad decision to reinvent vs. integrate. It's amazaing how much they accomplished. However, I suspect the incredible amount of work involved lead to burnout and a moribund project.

Then we should probably fix that the label of the tab shows what you need to know (I assume the class name). Currently, the class name is prefixed with "System Browser: ", which uses up all the space as soon as one has several open windows.

Hi Bill, in spite that I believe that the original cryptography package was a great piece of work, I completely agree with you in both matters: 1) we will need a crypto package soon, 2) If we want to be standing in the shoulders of giants, we better stand on OpenSSL :) Cheers. r -----Original Message----- From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Schwab,Wilhelm K Sent: 22 May 2009 13:39 To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Port of Cryptography to Pharo Ramiro, *The* cryptography package as written was not necessary to anything; **a** crytography package is indeed necessary for lots of things, no argment there.

I am trying to make Glorp to work in Pharo, but as you know Glorp in Squeak only works with Postgres. And the native postgres driver requieres cryptography package when you use md5 :( Just for now, I disable md5 from my postgres and use "password" auth-method. With this, cryptography is not needed. However, this is not an option in a production enviorment. Cheers, Mariano > > It was a fantastic package, I wonder why the maintainers droped it.
