So I've had my head buried in Perl for the past six months, and lost track of where Seaside has gone.
I know Seaside 3.0 is out. And Magritte/Pier have been updated (although the docs still look amazingly sparse :). And there's something called SqueakDBX for talking to Postgresql.
My client has restarted the project we began a year ago but had to set aside for economic reasons. I need to build a Seaside app that talks to Postgresql, and runs on FreeBSD. I'd prefer to use something like Glorp, but I'm not sure that's been updated in a while in the Squeak world, unless SqueakDBX did it.
No. The Glorp version for Squeak/Pharo is still several years old. However, it has been updated at least to work in the latest Pharo (I guess squeak too but I am not sure). You can use Glorp directly and use the PostgreSQL native driver (where you don't need the postgres client libraries), or you can use GlorpDBX with SqueakDBX driver, where you need to install OpenDBX and the PostgreSQl libraries.
So, what's the current state of the art for Seaside, Magritte, Glorp, and Postgresql bindings for Squeak? And has anyone managed to get a modern VM running on FreeBSD... I can't seem to get the latest sources to build (too many Linuxisms). I'll be developing on OSX, so that's reasonably secure.
