[Pharo-project] [OT] RIS vs. BibTeX
by Schwab,Wilhelm K May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hello all, Sorry for the OT post, but some of you have BibTeX interests and even code(!!!), so I thought it would smart to ask whether any of you have Pharo code to read the RIS format? I am getting sufficient pressure away from LaTeX, that I am looking at Bibus and OpenOffice. I have a lot of data in .bib to try to import into Bibus, which appears to be buggy with respect to to, but there is evidence it correctly understand RIS. Any help appreciated. Thanks! Bil

[Pharo-project] How to log in console in Windows

You will find the file below. It just wraps the "OutputDebugStringA" Win32 API in a subclass of ExternalStructure. Note that "OutputDebugStringA" is the ANSI version, there is also "OutputDebugStringW" for wide strings.

[Pharo-project] style preserving for code file out ?
by Alain Plantec May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hi all, What is the usefulness of preserving code style for method logging ? I personally always answer no when, while accepting some code, I've to answer to "This method contains style for the first time (e.g. bold or colored text). Do you really want to save the style info?". Regarding the preferences to settings refactoring, another way of asking this question would be "can I remove this feature ?" Thanks Alain

[Pharo-project] How to log in console in Windows
by Torsten Bergmann May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

Hi Bill, if you are on Windows anyway why not use the windows logging tools like dbmon.exe (available in the windows SDK or from [1]). I learned about it from Smalltalk MT and its a nice way to log/debug (see [2]). Download the above dbmon.exe tool and start it. Then open pharo and load FFI (by evaluating "ScriptLoader loadFFI"). Then file in the attached file and evaluate: Win32DebugConsole new outputDebugString: 'Hello' to log something to the console. It's a nice way if you run headless images.

[Pharo-project] Couldn't find an icon so...
by Schwab,Wilhelm K May 17, 2009

May 17, 2009

Hello all, Sorry to have dropped out for a whlie - nothing against Pharo. I am hopefully getting ready to ramp up some "real" work on Pharo, and toward that end, have a couple of questions. The first is a trivial concern that I have partially addressed with the attached icons. All I did was take the logo and chop off the lighthouse itself. So far it has been useless to me, but perhaps you will do better with it. The next question is more aggressive. Having free use of underscores would be a huge help to me. There are external libraries that are littered with them, and relational databases for which the most natural (leaving aesthetics out of it - this is about simplicity). Is Gwenael's work to a point that it would be reasonable to hack it into my own image? I probably don't want to take the chance, but might consider it depending on how close the code is to be reading. I have to at least ask the question. Thanks, Bill

Hi all (and matthew we need your guidance/help) We really want to get pharo 1.0 license clean. It would be bad that 1.0 is not. But 1.0 should get out before summer. Here is a collection of all the information I collected on the topic: Here what matthew wrote I've done the first step and done a full audit, using Yoshiki's tools [1], of all the code in Squeak 3.10.2, with the exception of four packages: - Monticello - SUnit, TestRunner, and SUnitImproved - Universes - Traits I also applied all of yoshiki's etoys changes to 3.10.2. The algorithm that Yoshiki seemed to follow when cleaning etoys is: - If the method can be easily deleted, delete it - Otherwise, use the historical image [1] to revert to the latest version before the problematic author - Fix any bugs this causes I think we can use the same procedure. Perhaps Yoshiki will comment. So, to help with the relicense, grab the historical image[1], check out the license audit [2], leave a note on mantis about what you think you'll work on, and start rolling out change sets. For your convenience, all of the license audits are included both in the relicensing tools download and on mantis. I'll try to keep both up to date as we progress with the relicense [1] The tools I've been using to do the relicense: http://ftp.squeak.org/4.0alpha/squeak4.0-relicensingTools.zip see also: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-September/13158… http://www.squeaksource.com/MethodAuthorship.html [2] The 4.0 relicense mantis issue: http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6989 The most up-to-date list of ok contributors is at http://www.squeaksource.com/311/MethodAuthorship-kph.17.mcz See the class-side methods in Authorship, category data here is another email from matthew On Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 11:10:12AM +0200, stephane ducasse wrote: > I need your guidance for the MIT conversion effort of Pharo > Do you have some cycles to help me and telling me how to proceed? > I'm on holidays (so working remotely so I may allocate some time on > that). I can help you after school gets out in a week. I need to do a quick count of how many lines of code need to be fixed in squeak for submission to SFLC. I can do the same for Pharo. I don't know how strenuous you want to be in your license conversion. The next 3 steps in the license conversion process are, in no particular order: - get a document from yoshiki documenting how etoys was relicensed (and, by extension, cuis). The board will overview it with the help of SFLC and determine if it is good enough. - The board will publish a statement about what is and is not a trivial-enough change to ignore. - I will count up the lines of code to be converted, and determine how many of them are trivial and non-trivial You should chat with Randal Schwartz about what you need to decide before you can start relicensing, and what you need to document in case your relicense needs to be reviewed in the future. Yoshiki and Juan did not do this and thus we have no evidence yet that Yoshiki's relicense is strong enough. I documented the priorities for squeak 4.0 in this email: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2009-February/134083… You should probably figure out your priorities for the relicense as well, so you know whose standards you need to meet. Since that email was written, Randal has indeed heard back from SFLC, but I haven't heard what they had to say yet. -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/
