Hi Tobias:
Sorry if I'm asking something already explained, but what are the new features of Squeaksource3?
I'm interested in try being that I was thinking in provide it with some sort of data replication (only ideas at the moment).
I have not implemented replication yet, but it is high on my list.
There are no _really_ distinct features but in contrast to the oriiginal SqueakSource and SqueakSource 2, ⢠runs on Seaside3.0 and Magritte 2 ⢠is highly aimed to run on GemStone ⢠includes a basic Issue tracking implemented by Dale Henrichs
I integrated the features that were âlurking aroundâ , eg, in the source.squeak.org instance. So the recently added direct access to diffs between versions as either .diff or .cs is available in SqueakSource3, too.
My highest aim was to improve extensibility, to allow drop-ins to extend squeaksource or to have a minimal one. For example, you can load the mare minimum of SqueakSource without even the ability to store versions to disk or have a full-featured SqueakSource that also includes Statistics, IssueTracking and (email) notification.
I hope that helps imagine the SqueakSource3 :)
So Long, -Tobias_______________________________________________
Thanks for the comments TobÃas. I've a good idea now and definitely I will give it a try.
About the replication feature, do you have some ideas in mind?
I was thinking in different possibilities:
1. Develop a feature in the same squeaksource that does this. 2. Use some sort of replicated file system (as XtreemFS: http://www.xtreemfs.org/). It will require to install it on XtreemOS (http://www.xtreemos.eu/) 3. Use some nosql horizontally scalable DB (as Riak / Cassandra) 4. Use Magma/Gemstone
Gemstone already is my main target. However, I think the synchronization of the Monticello versions stored is less a problem than synchronization of the user data. I think a a replicated file system won't help there.
But, I repeat, just ideas until now. I was thinking in this feature to my own use, because I need a reliable store of my source code on my company.
I think of a SqueakSource/GemStone appliance :) So Long, -Tobias
