Indeed I would like contributing to SmallHarbour to be easy. So Cloundfoundry should be one (worthwhile) among several ways to deploy SmallHarbour platform.

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SmallHarbour project
by Romain Verduci May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

We actually have www.seasidehosting.st which can only be used for non-commercial applications. I am Romain Verduci, a french student in Information System (Master degree) who likes smalltalk since I have discovered it last year through Pharo. Today, I participate to weekly coding-dojos with other smalltalk fans (http://cara74.seasidehosting.st/) I am lucky to participate to ESUG SummerTalk this year with Laurent Laffont as mentor to develop SmallHarbour project. With the support of ESUG and under the ESUG SummerTalk 2011, we want to provide: - a simple platform to host commercial smalltalk web applications. - an easy way for everyone (and enterprise) to deploy their own hosting platform. - for the non-smalltalkers, provide ready Pier images to deploy basic blogs, event presentations and more. SmallHarbour has started from the actual Seaside Hosting code base. Our first objective is to port it to Pharo / Cog / Seaside 3 and document. For more informations about the project, you can follow us on www.smallharbour.org. If you have any needs or ideas in order to improve our project vision, we will be happy to collect them. We will setup community tools (issue tracker, public repositories, doc ....) when the exams period is over :) Best regards Romain Verduci Student in Information System (Master degree) - IMUS, IAE Savoie Mont-Blanc - Annecy Tel. : +33659892353 Mail : contact(a)romain-verduci.com

[Pharo-project] Should we flag this as inconsistency? (using thisContext)
by Igor Stasenko May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Consider following: case a) | a b | a := thisContext. [ b := thisContext ] value. a == b case b) | a b | a := thisContext. true ifTrue [ b := thisContext ]. a == b what you think, should those two cases evaluate to same value? not really matter if true or false (i prefer false, or course ;), but what matters is t hat if case a) evaluating to true, then case b) should also evaluate to true and if a) is false, then b) should be false as well. (The potential fix is to never inline blocks who referencing to thisContext variable). -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

[Pharo-project] [TODO] 1.2.2

May 17, 2011

Core ----- -> All Tests Green -> No known Bugs reported -> Version number set to 1.2.2 -> New pre-build uploaded, will be linked as current stable core soon. >From now on, 1.2 will stay in "release" mode, we will just fix bugs that happen, but there will be no dedicted "1.2.3" release. (For 1.3, we will do the same: no point release, just an eternal stream of bug fixes in 1.3 Release The version number is just 1.3 plus the update number, that's enough) Full ---- Failing Tests: 4 Open Bugs: 1 http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=2&q=milestone=1.2.2-DevImage Issue 4166: Failing Tests: OBFakeBrowserTest (ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser needs update) So somone needs to take the current 1.3 of OB Metacello and sync the 1.2 config to load the same packaged. Should not be hard to do. -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe. Team RMoD.

[Pharo-project] Convention to build cmd-line interfaces with Pharo?
by Stefan Marr May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hi: Is there any convention/standard approach to build nice cmd-line interfaces with Pharo? The first road block I encountered is the assumption that the first argument to the image on the command line is a document/script. Which fires an exception if it is not actually a loadable document. I did not see any way to disable that other than to deinstall Autostart (Autostart>>deinstall). That is fine for me, but might have unintended consequences. The ProjectLauncher>>startUpAfterLogin is the actual place where that assumption is hard coded. And, well, I don't know what the consequences are of disabling Autostart and as a consequence ProjectLauncher. So, are there other ways to get to a clean command-line interface? What I want eventually is the following: $ squeak-vm.sh Pharo-1.2.image --help SMark Benchmark Framework, version: SMark-StefanMarr.12 Usage: <vm+image> SMarkHarness [runner] [reporter] <suiteOrBenchmark> [iterations [processes [problemSize]]] Arguments: runner optional, a SMarkRunner class that executes the benchmarks reporter optional, a SMarkReporter class that processes and displays the results suiteOrBenchmark required, either a SMarkSuite with benchmarks, or a benchmark denoted by Suite.benchName iterations optional, number of times the benchmarks are repeated processes optional, number of processes/threads used by the benchmarks problemSize optional, depending on benchmark for instance number of inner iterations or size of used data set Bye the way, Squeak 4.1 exhibits the same behavior, but I did not notice anything alike in our 3.9 image, there is works just fine.
