[Pharo-project] Slow image

Whatever the reason was ... it's gone in #10300. Package loading is slow as ever ;) - but now again in acceptable time.

[Pharo-project] Fwd: may be I reloaded moose into moose

"ScriptLoader loadSuperOB" in pharo #10300 is also broken. Evaluate it and click on the UML diagram in the new browser after selecting a class -> crashed since class "UMLEnhClassDiagram" is missing...

Well then for http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6581 who would stick that into 3.11?

[Pharo-project] Author in Squeak (Thread moved over from smallwiki)

Utilities is one of this crap. Not much use to me I am afraid, if my code cant work interoperably between squeak and pharo, then I cant port any of my existing projects over. Hmm what is needed for this... oh yes Installing and package loading tools that are managed outside of any one image as a common resource for everyone, that all those wise and knowledgeable about such things should contribute to. This needs political will to promote collaboration at this level. The problem with this idea is that I myself am not good enough nor do I have the time to realise the vision. I wonder where the people that do have the knowledge to do this are. Oh yes they are all working on Pharo! So that leaves the rest of us scuppered, thanks... You still don't understand, my argument against pharo is NOT that you will not use my code, it is that you will NOT contribute resources to the community in such a way as can be used for the benefit of all. i.e. MC1.5 is a project outside of Pharo and Squeak that you could contribute to, but you wont. So is SUnit, and SSpec etc. Furthermore those projects may be doomed to failure if you dont contribute, after all your team has the knowledge of traits which no one else has, I certainly don't. MC1.5 needs your team's input, and has needed it for over a year, yet you will not see it as something worth contributing to for the benefit of all. So MC1.5 is dead in the water and 2 years of work has been wasted. > And of course Author could be made a bit better. Author, what is Author, Author doesn't exist for Squeak users. If you would think in a community minded way, Author would be another external package, that is available for all. > Of course there is no preference to avoid to warn on deprecated call! > > Apparently you only do stuff right. Perfect! I didn't say that, is this what you believe? I am saying the opposite, and I have always been saying the opposite. I need others to collaborate to make these ideas a success. I am primarily an ideas man, my code is not that brilliant until the third or fourth iteration. My concern is that the Pharo team continuously seek to compete not to contribute. > But we will do it our way. Period. Exactly the opposite attitude to what is needed in this situation. No wonder we are not getting anywhere. Keith

Hi guys, I believe this mail exchange belongs to the Pharo and not to the Smallwiki mailing list :).

[Pharo-project] [ANN] Z39.50 FFI Client (ZOOM binding)
by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand May 4, 2009

May 4, 2009

This is a binding of the ZOOM Yaz client for Squeak and Pharo [1]. To install: 1) Download the compiled library (DLL or SO) from http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/ and copy the yaz3.dll (or equivalent in Unix) to your Squeak directory. 2) Make sure you have installed FFI package in your image: 3) If you have Installer in your image doIt this: Installer ss project: 'Z3950'; install: 'Z3950'; install: 'Z3950Tests'. To use: Right now you must know the infamous PQF/PQN query syntax (I'm working on it). Connect to a Z39.50 server and make a query for records with author Foucault : Z3950Client new server: #Alameda; query: '@attr 1=1003 foucault'. or using a random server for Kant Z3950Client new query: '@attr 1=1003 kant'. Best regards HernÃ¡n [1] SqueakSource page link : http://www.squeaksource.com/Z3950.html
