Hi Max, Thanks for pointing me in this direction. I tried to install what you proposed in a clean Pharo 1.4 image, but I got a MessageNotUnderstood: ByteString>>golferReferences. Any hint?

Agreed. But we should make sure that we keep the old packages. Just to be sure.

There is also no support for working copies (i.e. we track changes in the image at the moment but command-line Git won't know about it). That's the wrong repo Camillo :) Use the Filesystem-Git repository I pointed you to.

Re: [Pharo-project] [NativeBoost] pass an array of args to external function

by Camillo Bruni

Just copy paste the thing you posted in the NBBasicExamples and we're done. A couple of examples which show common problems will help certainly help people to understand. Plus we should convert the examples into tests so they are always run!

We have a almost 100% working git library for the low-level api. We have the git:// and dumb http:// protocol almost fully defined, we still miss smart http://. The only thing we cannot do yet properly is cloning a repository, but that can be easily scripted with OSProcess.

Hi Roberto Yes, there is, but it is work in progress. Try this in Pharo 1.4 or 2.0: Gofer new repository: 'http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/FileSystem-Git'; package: 'FileSystem-Git'; package: 'System-Hashing'; load. If you need any help, there's a dedicated mailing list: smalltalk-git(a)googlegroups.com.

Awesome!! BTW how do you deal with text formatting? For NativeBoost we used MarkDown to add sourceCode / method / class and section links to the documentation. With the formatting and the webserver the documentation would be almost perfect in my eyes!

this is cool. No time to fully read now but later for sure. I would like to see how we can integrate the book chapters. This is why we brainstormed with damien c to see how we can use Pier format as a core format for all the doc and so that we can generate the book (like for the seaside book).
