I love your attitude: a hammer and systematically beating beating beating the same huge nail until we get thereâ¦. I love that. I call that the bull attitude: I'm like that too :). Stef On Apr 10, 2012, at 12:41 PM, Pavel Krivanek wrote:
Hi,
I tried to load entire Pharo-Core content into Pharo-Kernel with help of Fuel and I was successful. It was done in 4 steps: - load and initialize all packages up to Gofer (gofer.fuel) - load and initialize Ring (ring.fuel) - load rest of the Paharo-Core packages (pharo-core.fuel) - do the initialization of Morphic and the rest of the system. All that takes about 15 seconds on my old laptop. Normally it takes about 12 minutes.
Of course there are several issues we have to solve permanently: - current Fuel cannot load several packages at once but it is very easy to enhance it. - Fuel has some problems with Traits (registerOnLoad, rebindOnLoad, sometimes nil category) - the packages must be clean because Fuel raises error when it uses unknown global variable - Fuel must have a way how to disable initialization of loaded classes - some packages like Morphic have extension methods in categories named "*Morphic-something". PackageInfo ignores it and expects that this categories are extending categories of some different package. - it doesn't store to Changes.
If anyone will want, I send him an archive with the images and ad-hoc fixes.
Cheers, -- Pavel
