Re: [Pharo-project] about vm dropping privileges

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

then lukas what you wrote in the book does not describe the correct problem. Because when I read I thought it was a problem of the Smalltalk VM "To listen on port 80, the standard port used by the HTTP protocol, the web server needs to run as root. Running a public service as root is a huge security issue. Dedicated web servers such as Apache drop their root privileges after startup. This allows them to listen to port 80 while not being root. Unfortunately this is not something that can be easily done from within the Smalltalk VM. " You write "Dedicated web servers such as Apache drop their root privileges after startup." So I was wondering why a SMalltalk VM cannot do the same? Stef On Dec 2, 2008, at 10:30 PM, Lukas Renggli wrote: >> my question was more how can the VM be fixed :) > > That's not a VM issue.

Re: [Pharo-project] Monticello configuration still broken

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Yes but when we load a package we load the package and its extensions and in Pharo we take care about that.

by David RÃ¶thlisberger

Thanks, Alex, but shouldn't it read: ifSUnitSupportHistory: aBlock (TestResult includesSelector: #updateResultsInHistory) ifTrue: [aBlock value] Because in your version aBlock never gets executed, not even when #updateResultsInHistory exists. Can you check?

Current versions return an MCVersionLoader which doesnt implement browse, and so falls back to the implementation on Object. Fixed in latest MC1.5/6, and a workaround has been added to latest Installer. Keith
