Pavel May be we should start, you publish and I try to integrate changes one by one. Stef
Hi,
I collected information about classes present in the Pharo-Kernel and the result is the set of packages that are essential for Pharo. This is a list of this packages with some small reorganizations proposals. If the packages will be reorganized, the shrinking process will be start to be package-oriented and Pharo more modular.
Announcements without Announcements-View category
Collections without KedamaFloatArrayAbstract, Transcripter
Compiler
Exceptions (Exceptions-Extensions category is empty)
Files
Graphics: - Graphics-Display Objects without CornerRounder, DisplayText - Graphics-Primitives without Pen, PenPointRecorder - Graphics-Text (only class TextStyle) - Graphics-Transformations without MorphicTransform
Kernel
some classes should be moved to Exceptions package: - BlockCannotReturn - ArithmeticError - FloatingPointException
some classes should be moved to a new UIManager package - ProvideAnswerNotification - ProgressInitiationException - ProgressNotification
Multilingual: - Multilingual-Encodings - Multilingual-ImmPlugin - Multilingual-Languages - Multilingual-TextConversion
some classes should be moved to a new Base64 package - MimeConverter - Base64MimeConverter
ST80-Kernel-Remnants (ValueHolder, StringHolder) should have own package or to be part of the Kernel package
System: - System-Change Notification (all classes) - System-Changes (all classes) - System-Clipboard (all classes) - System-Download (only AbstractLauncher) - System-FileRegistry (all classes) - System-Finalization (all classes) - System-Localization (all classes, at least for now ;-) - System-Object Events (all classes) - System-Object Storage (all classes) - System-Platforms (all classes) - System-Pools (all classes) - System-Support without AbstractSoundSystem, DummySoundSystem, FontSubstitutionDuringLoading, Imports, MczInstaller, RealEstateAgent, SARInstaller, SoundSettings - System-Tools only classes MethodReference, BreakPoint, BreakpointManager
(better modularization of System package is welcome)
ToolBuilder-Kernel: - UIManager class should be in standalone package, maybe together with DummyUIManager (currently not present in Pharo)
Tools: - Tools-Changes - keep: ChangeSetCategory, ChangeSetCategoryWithParameters, ElementCategory, ObjectWithDocumentation, StaticChangeSetCategory - remove: ChangeList, ChangeListForProjects, ChangeSetBrowser, ChangeSorter, ClassCommentVersionsBrowser, DualChangeSorter, VersionsBrowser - Tools-Debugger - keep: DebuggerMethodMap, DebuggerMethodMapForBlueBookMethods, DebuggerMethodMapForClosureCompiledMethods, PointerFinder - remove: ContextVariablesInspector,. Debugger, MessageTally, PreDebugWindow, SyntaxError, TimeProfileBrowser - class ThreadSafeTranscript (could be moved to Collections-Streams, this class is a little bit Morphic dependent but this will be fixed)
Traits
It is very simple to change class categories however I suppose that to fight with MC and automatic updates will be a hell. So maybe we should prepare a simple reorganization script, upload new packages, prepare prebuild image and break update process here as several times in the past. The next step will be some reorganization of method categories.
Cheers, -- Pavel
