Did someone commit any kind of magic to Pharo core orCryptography packge ? I just prepared a latest image to start working on it but I see only 3 red tests. Those are: testDES, testDES2 and testDSASigninAndVerifying.

And all of them fail because of the same problem: a primitive has failed. The primitive is

primCookKey: aByteArray mode: flag to: cooked
    <primitive: 'primitiveDESCookKey' module: 'DESPlugin'>
    ^ self primitiveFailed

I look here: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/VMPluginOverview   but I didn't found it. I don't have that plugin in my Exupery VM.

Perhaps downloading VMMaker and try to generate the plugin is a good idea but I never even download VMMaker haha

Anyway, is this important?

Cheers,

Mariano

Stef,

I proposed that a while ago, but there was a stunning lack of response.  The offer is still good however; I'd welcome a group effort to tackle it.

Hi guys

Why don;t you join forces and create a Cryptography package which work for pharo and for you.
Mariano I still would love to know the method of integer that are missing
