not from the top of my head. Now I guess you know why we are working (help needed) on SystemAnnouncement to replace changeNotifier with announcement.

Hi Mariano, You can have all packages in a repository with: ==== repository := MCHttpRepository location: httpUrl user: '' password: '' repository allVersionNames ==== Then you have to select all the last version of each package. A method from Moose that have this behavior: === lastVersionOf: projectName | versions | versions := self fileNames select: [ :f | f beginsWith: projectName , '-' ]. ^ (versions asSortedCollection: [ :v1 :v2 | (v1 copyFrom: (v1 indexOf: $.) + 1 to: (v1 lastIndexOf: $.)) asInteger < (v2 copyFrom: (v2 indexOf: $.) + 1 to: (v2 lastIndexOf: $.)) asInteger ]) last === Cheers, Jannik On Nov 7, 2011, at 17:58 , Mariano Martinez Peck wrote: > Hi guys.

Sometimes small things can fire really big change.. This is a tiny but powerful kernel that can launch a thousand ideas.. I was working on a Android base as an idea.. / concept.. for touch screen.. with Pharo on top.. but Pharo / Squeak has a lot to mature to handle multi-touch. Give me that.. if that happens this concept is what will make a huge change in the future computing world.. On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 4:09 PM, Edgar J.
