[Pharo-project] 16rff broke 16r8e7
by Nicolas Cellier Feb. 24, 2010

Feb. 24, 2010

As you may know, with 16rff change, we cannot anymore use a radix notation combined with an exponent notation. At least for base > 14, the exponent letter is taken as an ordinary digit. The options are: 1) revert the change 2) abandon combined radix+exponent notation all the code for printing Float with different radix, and also for scanning can be removed Or I can provide a subclass of SqNumberParser for backward compatibility. 3) find a new syntax for radix+exponent For example, 16r7f_e6 16r7f^6 16r7f#6 None of these is ambiguous with existing code. Or maybe use an uppercase R for uppercase only digits... 4) use q exponent to at least enable base 16 This is hackish and not universal, but I guess hardly anybody ever used a base > 16. ------------------------------------- What would squeak/pharo folks choose ? ------------------------------------- Personnally, I'm OK with 1) and 2). But 2) deserves a bit more discussion After all this is a change of Squeak syntax. I find Dan's notation educative and fun, especially for writing tests. But it is a non portable Squeakish thing, rarely used, and it does not really has much value for industrial usage, On the other hand, is it really necessary to parse 16rff ? I dislike 3) because I find my own propositions bad. Also, if we remove Squeak-specific syntax for compatibility reasons, why the hell adding a new uncompatible syntax? Previous usage of e notation was far better because just extending an existing syntax, not creating a new one. Maybe you'll have other ideas... Nicolas -------------------------------------

[Pharo-project] Metacello --- How to make sure that we will be able to load... in 3 years from now
by stephane ducasse Feb. 24, 2010

Feb. 24, 2010

Hi all I would like that we have a discussion about how do we put in place an infrastructure to make sure that we can get metacello configuration working in 3/5 years from now. I think that there are two scenarios: MyProject ====== in my project I used metacello and I publish a config and if it breaks in the future this is my responsibility PublishedMyProjectIn ============= When I publish my project (for now I copy the configuration file from my repository to the one of metacello) in the metacelloPharo1.0 project, we could automatically pulled up all the necessary files and copy them in the 1.0 repository. This way we can shield and make sure that a project can be loaded. I would like to have MetacelloMetaRepository1.0 MetacelloMetaRepository1.1 MetacelloMetaRepository1.2 ... what do you think? Stef

[Pharo-project] GemStone/S
by Gary Chambers Feb. 23, 2010

Feb. 23, 2010

Having investigated the virtual appliance (GLASS) http://seaside.gemstone.com/ for a potential upcoming project... It is in shocking state with regard to maintenance duties... We will be trying a native install with Pharo, of course. The question is whether anyone is interested in collaborating with producing some decent GUI tools for doing general administration tasks (backups, recovery, archival etc.)? A lot of scope for taking the pain out of maintaining such an environment... Regards, Gary

>make sure that we can get metacello configuration working in 3/5 years from now. We should also think about - mirroring. Currently in Metacello you give the repo hard coded in the baseline. Maybe it would be better to have an alias there and define the repo elsewhere (for instance in #versionXXX method). - offline work where on is working offline, behind a closed proxy. There are also companies that want to have an internal server. They do not want to rely on a public server even when it is 24*7. Did I already ask if we have the infrastructure/resources to run an own server (PharoSource, ...)? Bye T. c -- NEU: Mit GMX DSL Ã¼ber 1000,- Â¿ sparen! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02

Hi Folks, After much pain, PBE is back on Lulu: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/pharo-by-example/7522128 The problem seems to have been caused by embedded PDF figures, which messed up the fonts on several pages. By turning all th efigures into embedded PNGs, the problem finally went away. Cheers, - on
