[Pharo-project] OB-Tools
by Lukas Renggli Aug. 3, 2008

Aug. 3, 2008

OB-Tools (http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/omnibrowser) is a package that aims to build the remaining development tools on top of OmniBrowser. It currently includes working versions of the Inspector, Object Explorer, Debugger, Process Browser, File Browser, Transcript and Workspace. I wonder if anybody would be willing to take over the effort? I don't have much time to work on it and I think it would be a pity to let the code rot. The core is relatively stable, and there are only very few things missing compared to the original morphic tools. It would be cool to add tests similar to what we have for OB-Standard. As far as I know Damien Cassou would be interested to include the library in his development images. So, any takers? Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch

[Pharo-project] Some recent development done with Pharo
by Hilaire Fernandes Aug. 3, 2008

Aug. 3, 2008

I have been using happily these past two weeks Pharo for newer development in DrGeo, http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire/index.php?post/2008/08/01/DrGeo-II-macro-cons… Keep the good work, it is important for people like needing a reliable and well maintained image. Btw, regarding UI feel, I found using NiceFont and NON-rounded window give a me a nice look and feel. Hilaire

It describes how successful projects operate, the expectations of users and developers, and the culture of free software. The book is released under an open copyright: it is available in bookstores and from the publisher (O'Reilly Media), or you can browse or download it here." http://producingoss.com/ -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

Hi all Is it a well-known bug that the creation time is incorrectly reported on Mac? Time dateAndTimeFromSeconds: (FileDirectory default directoryEntryFor: 'ESUG2008.txt') creationTime It seems to be confused and return the last opened or last modified date. I was browsing again the code of file support and nearly fainted. I still could not do a simple rename xxx into creationdatexxx simply Then is there a way to modify the creationTime and other characteristic of a file? So this is really something that we should do in pharo fixing that terrible part of squeak. Mike do you think that we can "harvest" sophie solution? Does sophie fix the file library or just use URI as file location description? I was thinking that we could check a bit rio interface to see if we could use it as a scaffold and slowly rewrite it so that at the end it is a not a wrapper anymore on that shit. Stef
