[Pharo-project] Problems with Strike fonts
by Mariano Martinez Peck Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Weeks ago Lukas reported an issue with StrikeFonts width. I don't know if it is the same, but in the latest dev with StrikeFonts (pharo1.0-10502-rc1dev09.12.2) you cannot even understand the text. Look the attached screenshot ? What do you think it says ? Ok, it says: "OCompleti" I am the only one that see that ? cheers mariano

[Pharo-project] Etymology of #perform:?
by Adrian Kuhn Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Smalltalk is based on message sending, but sending a method is called #perform: rather than #send:? When I read aloud the code is it "perform a message" or "perform a method", both seem to be wrong. The first since, well, methods are sent not performed. And the second since, well, the argument is a message and a not a method. What is the etymology or rational for this? Maybe if one of the old Smalltalkers (or Marcus with his awesome knowledge of Smalltalk history) can elaborate on this? --AA

[Pharo-project] #sendTo: versus #sentTo:
by Adrian Kuhn Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Message implements both #sendTo: and #sentTo: this seems strange. Looking at the implementation reveals that #sentTo: is not (as one might expect from using the past principle of send) a boolean query but the same as #sendTo: modulo taking the lookup class into account. I think this is a spelling bug, but I might be worng. --AA

[Pharo-project] a pharo1.1 64bits
by Laval Jannik Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Hi folks, I put a pharo1.1 64 bits on the forge. Several tests do not pass, and I think it is really unstable. To run it, you need the 64*64 VM available in ftp://ftp.smalltalkconsulting.com We need task force to fix this version. Maybe we need also a parallel process with pharo32Bits. What are your opinion ? Cheers Jannik

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Metacello configurations for Pharo.
by Mariano Martinez Peck Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

(Sorry for the long email) Yes, after a couple of weeks, I have written most of the needed Metacello configurations for the Dev images 1.0. Forget 1.1 for a while. Now we are able to: 1) Load stable version of packages 2) Manage the dependencies automatically 3) Each developer can create its custom PharoDev image 4) Flexibility to load the packages you want 5) Choose the browser for example: OB or O2 6) Choose to load the tests or not 7) Load each package in a PharoCore image without having to install anything else (all the dependencies should be managed automatically) 8) You can take a PharoCore image and "transform" it to a Dev image, or even web. 9) Others... This is not completed yet. There are some things that we are discussing with Dale, but they are ok as a first step. I rather go step by step. What I did is to create all the infrastructure: a) The Configuration classes b) The dependencies c) the groups, In summary, most of the "structure" and static information. However, I am not sure which version to load of each package. I will probable take care of building the Dev images, but I won't: - Merge anything. It will not be my task to merge OB, or RB or whatever. - Check every version of each package before doing a release to see if it is stable or not. So...what I REALLY (actually, WE) need is that each developer, each maintainer of the packages that we load of a PharoDev image, help us to create the stable versions. To create a new version for the Metacello configuration is VERY easy, The hard part is already done. You just have to create a method and say which versions (except you create or eliminate packages or dependencies). If you read the code, you will probably understand it. However, you can read the Metacello tutorial (no more than one hour), or ask me or even more in the Metacello mailing list. So...PLEASE, I need the help of the maintainers to create the versions. So far, I created the first version (1.0) with the latest version. But the idea is that then you create 1.1.1 or 1.2 or whatever you consider. All the configurations can be found in http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository So far, I created: ConfigurationOfNewInspector, ConfigurationOfOCompletion, ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser, ConfigurationOfPharoMorphicExtras, ConfigurationOfPharoSound, ConfigurationOfRefactoringBrowser, ConfigurationOfShout , and......ConfigurationOfPharo!!! To install them, just download that package and evaluate the load. Example: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfShout'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfShout) project version: '1.0') load. And then, you can also for exaple do: ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfShout) project version: '1.0') load: 'Core' this doesn't install the tests. Or for example: (ConfigurationOfOmniBrowser project version: '1.0') load: 'Dev' etc... So, you can load any project and with the group you want. All of that can be (or should be hahahaha) perfectly loaded in a 1.0 Core image. What I would really appreciate is if each maintainer can look at the code, load the different groups and give me feedback on the dependencies or whatever. I really wait your feedback. Mariano ps: I will release soon the first dev image using this :)

[Pharo-project] Core font
by Torsten Bergmann Jan. 11, 2010

Jan. 11, 2010

The squeak trunk has a nice looking default font compared to pharo core (without Freetype). Wasnt that related to some Cuis changes that were also integrated into Pharo already? Any chance we can get that too? Just curious... Thx Torsten -- DSL-Preisknaller: DSL Komplettpakete von GMX schon fÃ¼r 16,99 Euro mtl.!* Hier klicken: http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02
