[Pharo-project] removing versions from configurations
by Tudor Girba April 26, 2011

April 26, 2011

Hi, The Moose build broke because the 'default' version was removed from ConfigurationOfRPackage. I fixed it now by using #stable, but that is not the issue. I understand the need for cleaning, but we should be aware that removing versions from configurations can have far reaching ripple effects. Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "From an abstract enough point of view, any two things are similar."

[Pharo-project] [ANN] SqueakSource3 Beta.1 "Easter Fire"
by Tobias Pape April 26, 2011

April 26, 2011

Dear Smalltalkers, gladly I would like to announce the first Beta of SqueakSource3 âEaster Fireâ. To try it, take your favorite Monticello-API and install the Metacello configuration. N.B.: The SqueakSource-Configuration has a dependency on Seaside3, however, if you happen to not have Seaside installed previously there will be no adaptor chosen for you. So, it is preferable to install Seaside3 with the settings you like before installing SqueakSource. "===" "GemStone. N.B.: You probably need an almostOutOfMemory-guard." Gofer project load: 'SqueakSource' version: #easterFire group: #( 'Full' ). "--" "Squeak" Installer squeaksource project: 'MetacelloRepository' install: 'ConfigurationOfSqueakSource'. ((Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfSqueakSource) project version: #easterFire) load. "--" "Pharo" Gofer new squeaksource: MetacelloRepository; package: 'ConfigurationOfSqueakSource'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSqueakSource) project version: #easterFire) load. "===" SqueakSource3 is a port of SqueakSource to Seaside 3 and Magritte 2. It is based on the original SqueakSource by Lukas Renggli, Adrian Lienhard, and Avi Bryant; moreover recent changes to several SqueakSource-forks are incorporated, too. Some features like access to diffs in a browser as done by Bert Freudenberg for source.squeak.org have been integrated into SqueakSource3. SqueakSource3 incorporates a basic issue tracker done by Dale Henrichs. SqueakSource3 is expected to run on GemStone/GLASS as well as on squeakish Smalltalks, ie, Pharo and Squeak. âeaster fireâ has been tested on GemStone 2.4.4.x/GLASS 1.0-beta.8 and Squeak4.2 both with Seaside 3.0.4. Pharo-tests are pending. The agenda for SqueakSource3 in random order is: â¢ Have it running on GemStone, esp. GemStone 3 beta â¢ Provide a cleaner external API (may be REST or XMLRPC) â¢ Provide a more clear modularization and extension api (example: the Issue component by Dale Henrichs) â¢ Name itâ¦suggestions are welcome. â¢ Stability. Philippe Marschal, Dale Henrichs, and Gerhard Obermann have contributed much to SqueakSource3. All feedback is appreciated. So Long, -Tobias

[Pharo-project] Pharo 1.2.1 to Pharo 1.2.2
by Miguel CobÃ¡ April 26, 2011

April 26, 2011

How will this upgrade path will be handled? In some email of previous week this is mentioned: SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.2.2a'. But evaluated in a Pharo 1.2.1 update 12345 starts updating from 12342 and stops on 12345, so I think that is wrong. Evaluating SystemVersion newVersion: 'Pharo1.2.2a' begin the update from 12346 and stops on 12350 so I think that is the correct one, right? Or should users begin with: https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28436/PharoCore-1.2.2a-12345.zip and update from there? (This implies migrate to a new image, not so much a update from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 but a migration). Thanks in advance. -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://twitter.com/MiguelCobaMtz http://miguel.leugim.com.mx

[Pharo-project] Glamour theme
by Alexandre Bergel April 25, 2011

April 25, 2011

Hi Doru, Just wondering whether you have tried to remove the black border of each windows. I indeed like to not have it around button, scrollbar. Why not windows? I have the impression what the window color has to slightly change when not in foreground. I like the theme, even if I am more rounded than squared :-) Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[Pharo-project] Suggestion: rename some methods for consistency
by DougEdmunds April 25, 2011

April 25, 2011

The vast majority of example methods follow a consistent naming pattern where the word 'example' starts the method name. There's a handful that don't. The advantage of this approach is that all the examples appear together in the browser list of methods. I suggest that these methods be renamed: BorderedMorph class >> gradientExample --> exampleGradient SimpleHierarchicalListMorph class >> submorphsExample --> exampleSubmorphs PluggableMenuSpec class >> withOneSingleItemExample --> exampleWithOneSingleItem PluggableMenuSpec class >> withSubMenuExample --> exampleWithSubMenu PluggableMenuSpec class >> withTwoSimpleItemsExample --> exampleWithTwoSimpleItems DigitalSignatureAlgorith >> writeExamplesToDisk --> exampleWriteToDisk UITheme class >> textEntryWithCompletionDialog --> exampletextEntryWithCompletionDialog UITheme class >> closeExampleDialogs --> exampleCloseDialogs (I've excluded test and testcase examples from this list). -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Suggestion-rename-some-methods-for-consistency-tp3473… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Which packages should we include of metacello for Pharo 1.3?
by Mariano Martinez Peck April 25, 2011

April 25, 2011

Hi Dale and the rest. In Pharo 1.2 we used to include these packages/groups from Metacello: #('Metacello-Core' 'Tutorial' 'UI' 'Metacello-ProfStef' 'Metacello-Help'); and #('Tests') Is this still valid? because I decided them a couple of months ago...so maybe they are not valid anymore. For example, do we want the MetacelloBrowser or things like that ? and the MetacelloToolbox ? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Hi alain. If I do cmd + f and I type something in the input, the only way to get the cursor in the result is by clickling in the "search" button. I would expected to be able to hit enter in addition. What do you think? Thanks -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
