[Pharo-project] need your attention: Package
by StÃ©phane Ducasse March 20, 2011

March 20, 2011

Hi guys we need to think about package: right now we have a new implementation that is fast, robust and supports well a new generation of tools (glamour, nautilus...). We are capturing all system events and we would be more or less ready to remove systemNotifier and use Announcement instead. RPackage can live also on the side of PackageInfo for a while but it would be better to have the shortest possible period of co-existence. Now one of the problem I see is that we may not have a smooth transition because: - Rpackage does not rely on category tagging matching. - It is simpler to have a mapping from current categories to packages - Now it means that we could load a package in the system and it would be turned into several RPackages so this means that configuration would have to be adapted. - marcus was suggesting me to create a package with the same contents as the one of loaded by MC. and to have tags to only represent categories. Now my time is short so I will - probably not implement tags - check again the implementation of RPackage and in particular the necessary compatibility layer, because I saw some strange code. - check the MC dependency on method category conventions, because some logic is not defined in the right place like overrides in the MC tools and not in the PackageInfo - check how a package gets created when loaded: the key question is that there is a problem to rely on categories to associate classes to packages because we can end up with overlapping (normally the IDE captures the category renames and change the packages accordingly). - we should not rely on most-specific-category kind of pattern matching. So if you have suggestion please talk now. Stef

[Pharo-project] [ANN] ConfigurationOfRFB with symbolic versions
by Miguel CobÃ¡ March 20, 2011

March 20, 2011

Hi all, I have updated the ConfigurationOfRFB with symbolic versions. It can load RFB on PharoCore 1.1 and PharoCore 1.2. To load it, evaluate in a workspace: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfRFB'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfRFB) project version: #stable) load. This will load the correct version of RFB for the given PharoCore version (thanks Dale!): RFB-lr.34.mcz for PharoCore 1.1 RFB-MiguelCoba.36 for PharoCore 1.2 Enjoy! -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://twitter.com/MiguelCobaMtz http://miguel.leugim.com.mx

[Pharo-project] Annoying No version found for #stable of ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser while loading Seaside
by Dennis Schetinin March 20, 2011

March 20, 2011

Loading Seaside in Pharo 1.1.1 with a script below, I get a couple of 'No version found for #stable of' for ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser and ConfigurationOfRefactoringBrowser exception. Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSeaside30'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfSeaside30) load. I can simply ignore these exceptions and everything seems to work. But they are still annoying. And more than that, they continue to appear (many times!) when I load other packages dependent on Seaside. Can it be disabled or fixed some how? -- Dennis Schetinin

[Pharo-project] [UPD] NativeBoost runs on new Cog VMs
by Igor Stasenko March 20, 2011

March 20, 2011

Hello, i just wanna to inform you that i adopted NativeBoost plugin for building with latest Cog vms. To build VM, you should have an image with VMMaker + CMakeVMMaker packages installed. Then load NBIntaller package and do: NBInstaller installCogPlugin There are new cmake configurations i added to build VMs with NB plugin support. So, simply do as usual: <NB config name> generateWithSources and then cmake. / make P.S. Im happy knowing that the OpenGL fonts rendering demo, which i made almost a year ago works out of the box on Windoze :) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
