Re: [Pharo-dev] Is Pharo Launcher Ready?

by Dale Henrichs

Thanks Damien, I will give it a go when I get a chance ... because it broke about 2 months ago and my mail to this list went unanswered, I've since removed it from my scripts (in an emergency no less, because the scripts were failing) and I have become a bit gunshy about relying on something that drops from support without warning .... Believe me I did not want to learn about `ldd` and the 12.04 pharo dependencies, but I had no choice:( I would like to be able to depend upon the zero conf scripts, because they are very convenient, but I am still hazy on the policy towards older releases and zero conf. It would be very convenient if the scripts worked "forever" for the old releases (pharo3.0 will be old in a year:) they don't need to be kept up to date with respect to the latest vm, but should be frozen at the last stable vm for that platform/release ... if that were true then I would be comfortable leaning heavily on zero conf for the installation/update scripts...if not...

The author of TeX thought that a machine can best decide where to put a figure because when you write the TeX source you don't know where in the page a particular figure will be placed when rendered as PDF: each time you add a paragraph somewhere, you move everything after it. > Most of the figures are HD screenshots.

PDF is very nice for printing and LaTeX makes sure that figures are nicely placed on the paper. HTML is not meant to be printed. If you print an HTML page, the result is often ugly. > LaTeX is an interim tool to get the PDF output.

Would it be possible to > use Artefact instead? Not without creating extremely ugly documentation, at the current state of Artefact layouting. Line breaking is primitive, support for other than base-14 fonts is missing, pngs are rendered, not embedded. > LaTeX toolchain is *huge*. Yeah, it is. The best object model for documentation is that of Framemaker. Current machines should be fast enough to run something like that in Smalltalk instead of c now, 20 years later. Stephan
