The name is .pharo or pharo ? If we have multiple images in the same directory, they will share the /pharo repository ? On 6/23/16, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
Since some time Iâve seen growing the amount of files/directories generated when running Pharo. Up to Pharo 2.0, we had just this:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes PharoDebug.log pharo-cache
now we have:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes PharoDebug.log pharo-cache epicea-sessions play-cache play-stash
it does not looks like much, but I think this does not looks professional (we take too much from user space). So I proposed (and implemented) a âconcentratorâ directory:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes ./pharo ⦠and everything for âpharo working internallyâ here
then users have again control about what they have along with the image (this allows to some nice strategies too, when we want a version that does not pollutes the file dir).
of course, this idea follows other developing spaces, where things are stored in same fashion way⦠for example in eclipse for java they store all eclipse data under .workspace directory.
so, please note that this is NOT user space⦠regular pharo users will store his files along with the image, for instance filetree repositories⦠something like:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes .pharo/ voyage/ punqlite/ etc.
well⦠I will commit a SLICE with the changes soon (is not a hard change at all).
But then:
is ./pharo a good name? will this work?
