Methods are on the class, the object point to its class, no need to allocate *any* memory. The only thing that costs memory is *state*. Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

[Pharo-project] Enhancement: Browsing SLICE dependencies with tree view in Monticello Repository Inspector
by Ben Coman Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

I originally thought something was wrong when I could not browse the code of a SLICE using Monticello. After hunting around I found [1] saying this is expected behaviour. However I then suggest the following enhancement: Have the right-pane of the Monticello Repositoy Inspector be a tree view, such that dependencies are the children which can then be <Browsed> together from the one place, rather than having to chase them manually. This seems more intuitive usage, especially for those not familiar with what slices are. (I had to hunt around for 5 minutes to find out) What do you think? cheers, -ben [1] http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1606 says " <Browse> in MC only browses the contents of the *selected* package - not of dependent packages. Therefore the slice package always looks empty, because it actually is empty."

[Pharo-project] Pharo Smalltalk + Riak = Phriak
by Nicolas Petton Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

Hi! GÃ¶ran and I worked on a Riak client for Pharo Smalltalk named Phriak. You can download the code at http://www.squeaksource.com/Phriak Today I released the version 0.3. Riak is a screamingly cool NoSQL database that scales like crazy. It's a distributed, data agnostic db (see http://wiki.basho.com/Riak.html) There's a Metacello package ConfigurationOfPhriak for simple loading. As of today, Phriak supports (through the HTTP API): - Bucket properties - Objects metadata - Links and link walking - Secondary indexing - Map/Reduce - VClock and Siblings resolution Cheers, Nico -- Nicolas Petton http://nicolas-petton.fr

[Pharo-project] cannot add repository in monticello
by Fabrizio Perin Feb. 15, 2012

Feb. 15, 2012

Hi, I just tried to add a new repository in Monticello and I got an error: the error is: MessageNotUndestood: FileDialogWindow>>directoriesFor: the repository I wanted to add was a directory. It seems to work in the case you want to add a HTTP repository. The problem happen on the last Moose build (#830) and on a Pharo1.4a Latest update: #14331 downloaded from the pharo web site. Cheers, Fabrizio

students in the lecture on windows downloaded cogvm I do not from whereâ¦ and used pharo1.3 and some experienced crashes. We will have to brand these vms because the situation is getting difficult. I do not imagine how we can track these problems. Stef

[Pharo-project] Usable state PharoMorphicView
by S Krish Feb. 14, 2012

Feb. 14, 2012

Now I hope it should load and work fine for the first look at a simpler morphic UI construction.. Will hunker down and work on a plan.. this point onwards.. There is a bigger pie to cut .. n eat .. this is just a piece in the jigsaw or is replaced by a more competent piece.. but for now this is more complete and workable over the range of need.. http://skrishnamachari.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/pharo-morphic-view-03/ http://skrishnamachari.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/pharomorphicview_02.pdf

[Pharo-project] 1.4 - better from Jenkins
by Schwab,Wilhelm K Feb. 14, 2012

Feb. 14, 2012

I grabbed 1.4 and cog/unix from jenkins, dumped all the files in one directory, made a shell script to run the image using Cog, and all I can say is "wow." The usability problems I was having are gone. In particular, the context menus work. I loaded Migrate and set preferences, with a really nice appearance resulting. One question: why did ClassDescription>>package go away? That seems to be a really useful message. I'll try to build an image using the SqueakSource mirror. No promises, but 1.4 "suddenly" looks a LOT more polished than it did. Are the links on the Pharo page old, or did somebody just do a lot of work to make things better? Bill
