[Pharo-project] Need someone to commit on RoelTyper
by Mariano Martinez Peck Dec. 19, 2009

Dec. 19, 2009

Hi FrÃ©d! I fixed the _ in assignment problem in RoelTyper. I don't have access to commit as I am not as developer and the global setting in ss is read. I attach the .mcz. Can you commit it please or give me access? Thanks Mariano

Maybe the proposition to pay someone (the count me in stuff) could be used for that. Because to me this is not just a problem but the BIG problem (at least so that newcommers don't leave with a bad feeling). Pay someone for 3 months is easier than for 12 :). And you could count me in for that (to give a contribution and also to participate) :) Every Dolphin users seems enligthened by their tools. Couldn't we mimic them ? Laurent just made propositions, you too in your ESUG presentation. We should collect, organize and provide a clear view of what we expect. Then maybe pay someone or simply create a project but with clear goals. Then make this tool rock solid (even in alpha or unstable ;) ) > > However, the primary annoyance right now is the dichotomy between the OB > new framework and the O2 derived for David's work.

I gave up on the package browser to have a snappier reaction. But, with all due respect, these are projects. The abstraction behind OB make some operations difficult. IMO, this could be easier to use classic rigid tool (as we ( I ) want only one big coding tool). But I actually don't care of what's behind as far as it works as defined in the future specs. > > About the taskbar: I'm more and more convinced that the taskbar does not > work well for me, in particular does not scale.

I've stopped looking at it and using it. Mercury and Algernon by the way need also some kind of uniformisation. Do we start some actions in the direction of that ? What other thinks ? CÃ©drick

Re: [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] The Trunk: Kernel-dtl.331.mcz
by Eliot Miranda Dec. 19, 2009

Dec. 19, 2009

Hi David, Interesting! To my mind that definition is incorrect. I would expect the sender of a block to be the sender of the enclosing method, in which case the definition would arguably be BlockClosure methods for accessing sender ^self home sender A block activation's caller would be it's sender slot, so within a block you might refer to thisContext caller. But what is arguably a bug in my implementation is that within a block activation thisContext sender refers to the caller (the sender of value: to the activation's block) not to the sender of the enclosing method. I think I may have screwed up badly here and that the correct implementations should be *MethodContext methods for accessing* *caller* ^closureOrNil ifNil: [self error: 'this is a method activation and so has no caller'] ifNotNil: [sender] *sender* ^closureOrNil ifNil: [sender] ifNotNil: [closureOrNil outerContext sender] *BlockClosure methods for accessing* *sender* * ^outerContext sender* and either *BlockClosure methods for accessing* *caller* * "Since a BlockClosure is by definition not an activation it does not have a caller.* * It has a sender because it is always created within the context of a method."* ^nil or *BlockClosure methods for accessing* *caller* ^self error: 'this is an inactive block and so has no caller' I believe the pre-closure definitions are *ContextPart methods for accessing* *sender* ^sender *BlockContext methods for accessing* *caller* ^sender which to my mind is missing *BlockContext methods for accessing* *sender* ^home sender What do people think the right definitions should be?

[Pharo-project] pharoImage 64 bits
by Laval Jannik Dec. 19, 2009

Dec. 19, 2009

Hi all, I made a pharoImage 64 bits, based on 11088. I would like to put it on inria gforge but I do not have administrator access. Now in this image there are 14 test failures, and 65 test errors. So it works on a VM5.0 - 64x64. For now, it is available on: http://jannik-laval.eu/assets/files/pharo64/ Cheers --- Jannik Laval ---

[Pharo-project] MorphTreeMorph>>mouseEnter: broken in Moose
by Oscar Nierstrasz Dec. 18, 2009

Dec. 18, 2009

I get an infinite loop of exceptions in the Moose Finder when I load Moose into the latest Pharo. LazyMorphTreeMorph does not understand keyboardFocusOnMouseDown ... Sleuthing shows: MorphTreeMorph>>mouseEnter: event "Changed to take keyboardFocusOnMouseDown preference into account." super mouseEnter: event. self wantsKeyboardFocus ifFalse: [^self]. self keyboardFocusOnMouseDown ifFalse: [self takeKeyboardFocus] But keyboardFocusOnMouseDown is not implemented anywhere in the system. What gives? Alain, it seems this method comes from you. What gives? I am unsure what to do ... - on

[Pharo-project] Rome port
by Michael Rueger Dec. 18, 2009

Dec. 18, 2009

Hi all, there is now a Pharo port of Rome :-) Quite a few things are still untested and probably broken, freetype integration isn't what it should be yet, but it basically works. You will need the RomePlugin for your platform. https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/25047/RomePlugin.bundle.zip https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/25046/rome.zip To load: Get these two packages from PharoInbox (for now) Graphics-MichaelRueger.168 FreeType-MichaelRueger.498 To load Rome: Gofer new impara: 'RomePharo'; addPackage: 'Rome-BalloonCanvas'; addPackage: 'Rome-Base'; addPackage: 'Rome-PluginCanvas'; addPackage: 'Rome-Fonts'; addPackage: 'Rome-Demo'; load Make sure that Freetype fonts are loaded: FreeTypeFontProvider current loadFromSystem. RomeFontManager resetDefault There is no support for strike or TT fonts (yet). Michael
