Hello,
Hi guys, Updating Pharo from the update stream failed many times and keep on failing for me... But maybe it's just me...
Updating never failied for me... (Hudson not,either). (e.g. I can download the 13091 and it updates without error)
So I picked the unstable link from the web site (http://www.pharo-project.org/pharo-download/unstable-core) This drives me to a 13091 image. The first thing I do is select the 'update system' menu... Err, it fails... It seems related to broken sources... Well the image points to which source file ? can't remember the incantation, let just browse it... Err, no source, I can't browse. No matter, I set the browser to decompile mode... Err, this does not work, I still can't browse code. Hmm very bad starting experience, I know what unstable means, but I was dreaming of other words like continuous development.
I have not seen that problem... I will investigate.
So ket's open an older image (my own updated 1.2) to find the incantations. (Scanner>>#scanTokens:) fileIndex -> 1, so it seems that the source file is corrupted. (SourceFiles at: 1) -> MultiByteFileStream: '/Users/nicolas/Smalltalk/Squeak/pharo/PharoV10.sources'
Well, for my previous Pharo images, this very file works ! How damned can be the file be changed and the version not incremented ?
It should not be changed.
Is it me who did something wrong ? Or the update process somewhere did condense the sources ?
I hope not!
Or did someone elese messed with the sources ? Is it a known problem ?
With Igor we saw some problem when decompiling code. (remove sources). What we should do, too is to invest into the regression tester to acutally test things like if the changes and sources are in a good shape, if we can condense, write new sources, all these things... -- Marcus Denker -- http://www.marcusdenker.de INRIA Lille -- Nord Europe.
