[Pharo-project] Gofer problem installing packages with the same name
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand Jan. 9, 2011

Jan. 9, 2011

Hi list, I have some issues with Gofer, maybe already known. When I evaluate: Gofer new squeaksource: 'Subjectivity'; package: 'Subjectivity'; load. it seems that Gofer takes the first package named Subjectivity it founds which in this case is http://www.squeaksource.com/Decisionstrategy.html while I wanted to take it from http://www.squeaksource.com/Subjectivity.html (please see the screenshot). After then I've tried to update "Gofer upgrade" for a fix, but it seems it cannot connect to http://source.lukas-renggli.ch and then entered in an endless loop. Any hint? (Using Pharo1.2beta Latest update: #12294) Cheers, -- HernÃ¡n Morales Information Technology Manager, Institute of Veterinary Genetics. National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET).

[Pharo-project] wiki style help
by Torsten Bergmann Jan. 9, 2011

Jan. 9, 2011

Hi, Nice idea, I like the "wiki help description" for three reasons: - its pragma based AND allows for definition of structured books (so Lukas should be satisfied since he can define content without dependency on help system) - it allows us to reuse existing swiki contents (if the full syntax is supported we can query existing swikis!) So it is a nice idea and would be a good addition. I reworked Alains code to better fit the pluggable architecture of the HelpSystem framework (now using a builder): Use an updated 1.2 core image, code is attached 1. File in "Foo.st" (which defines a simple help description) => no dependency on any help system 2. First I added a registration mechanism (pragma <systemHelp> so one can add own help types to the system help (the one that appears when you open the default help browser) => load "AddToSystemHelpFix.1.cs" => at least this fix should go into Core 1.2, so no ugly hacks are necessary to appear in the default help browser I added a now fixed issue for core 1.2 on: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3511 3. I reworked Alains code so it uses a WikiStyleHelpBuilder (similar to the other builders) and a WikiStyleHelp as a new help type => see WikiStyleHelp.5.cs => if we agree on this we can integrated it into core too, currently it is in an own class category/package => "HelpBrowser openOn: WikiStyleHelp" will show all contents defined using the wiki style syntax, so only the one defined in class Foo appears => "HelpBrowser open" will show all help in the system (including the ones defined in Foo) => since it uses the new registration mechanism (see 2. above) all these topics will also appear in the help browser that is accessible from the menu I would vote for adding this to core 1.2 too. It's additional, nothing should break. What do you all think... And thanks Alain for the idea and initial code!!! Have fun T. -- Neu: GMX De-Mail - Einfach wie E-Mail, sicher wie ein Brief!

You are aware first doesn't copy, do you? The explanation should be that you always have to take a look at the implementation to see if it copies or not (or sometimes), and explain when it doesn't matter (small integers, characters).

[Pharo-project] 4 days sprints in february
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Jan. 9, 2011

Jan. 9, 2011

Hi guys we are brainstorming with alain plantec to organize a sprint at roscoff (close to brest - excellent sea food). The set up would be: - 21 - 24 of february - this is holiday time here. I will rent a house with the kids there. - we can get access to a room for 450 Euros (break included). - the hosting is 50 Euros per day breakfast included - lunches are about 15 euros. So are some of you interested by participating. We could ask some sponsoring to ESUG. http://maps.google.fr/maps?client=safari&rls=en&q=roscoff&oe=UTF-8&redir_es… http://www.google.fr/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=roscoff&oe=UTF-8&redir_e… Stef

[Pharo-project] About preloaded packages
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Jan. 8, 2011

Jan. 8, 2011

Hi guys I would really like that pharo-dev does not contain too many libraries pre loaded (for example XMLSupport). I would favor push metacello so that in one click people can load what they want. Stef

Re: [Pharo-project] [Vm-dev] Problem restarting contexts in Cog 2341
by Eliot Miranda Jan. 8, 2011

Jan. 8, 2011

Hi All, find new VMs in VM.r2342/<http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2342/> (SimpleStackBasedCogit) and VM.r2343/ <http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2343/> ( StackToRegisterMappingCogit). 2343 seems fine but I appear to have introduced a regression into 2342. The 2343 VMs fix both of the bugs mentioned by Matthew and Yoshiki: This now evaluates to nil as intended: | a | a := false. [a ifFalse: [Error signal]] on: Error do: [:ex | a := true. ex retry] This no longer provokes a must-be-boolean error: BooleanArrayUser new loop1 As usual I'm very grateful for you pounding on these (ok, at least the 2343 VM :) ). best Eliot On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 10:10 AM, Eliot Miranda <eliot.miranda(a)gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Matthew, Hi Yoshiki, > > > thanks very much for this.

[Pharo-project] Including Zinc HTTP Components in Pharo 1.2 Dev ?
by Sven Van Caekenberghe Jan. 8, 2011

Jan. 8, 2011

Hi, Maybe I am a bit late with this question, I also don't know who makes the decision, and it is probably external people who have to make the judgement, but would it be possible and/or a good idea to include Zinc HTTP Components into Pharo 1.2 Dev ? In any case, the code is in good shape, works on 1.2, has a reasonable number of tests, has comments, is pretty small and elegant. Whether or not to load the Zinc-Patch-HTTPSocket package is another question. This package patches (destructively overwrites) class methods in HTTPSocket, redirecting them to ZnHTTPSocketFacade, effectively steering all HTTP client access in your Smalltalk image through Zinc HTTP Components. This has been working for me for months, but my usage is certainly not universal. So maybe this should remain an option. I would especially like to expose this code to more people to get more feedback. I am also willing to keep on supporting the code. What do you think ? Sven

[Pharo-project] Announcements in core images?
by Janko MivÅ¡ek Jan. 8, 2011

Jan. 8, 2011

Hi both Squeakers and Pharoers, What is a status of Announcements package as part of core images? Are they already there and, are they compatible, and if not, what are the differences? Announcements are namely very important and elegant way of event notifications based on publish/subscribe pattern. And they are portable, which is very important for us, doing cross platform frameworks like Aida, Seaside, etc. Therefore I'd really like to see Announcements included in all Smalltalks by default and at least on API level as same as possible. Best regards Janko -- Janko MivÅ¡ek AIDA/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si
