Philippe, Cami provided a port of FileTree to Pharo-2.0 within an hour... Getting FileTree to run is not the issue ... for me ... FileTree was written to be very _dependent_ on FileDirectory and needs to be rewritten... I think the Pharo folks are correct that most applications will not be hit nearly as hard by the removal of FileDirectory.

To find out what breaks in Seaside I created new packages | for every Pharo package that didn't work. So I ended up with: | | - Grease-Pharo20-Core | - Grease-Tests-Pharo20-Core | - Seaside-Pharo20-Core | - Seaside-Tests-Pharo20-Core | - Javascript-Pharo20-Core | | You can find them in the Seaside 3.1 repository [1]. I'm not really | sure this was a clever idea but it sounded better than writing a long | mail. | | Things I ran into: | - file system (obviously) | - SystemAnnouncer | - BlockContext is gone | - extension methods are now present on String | - different Float number printing | | File system and SystemAnnouncer are only used by file library. | | Right now two tests fail because the GRPackage dependencies are | inconsistent due to a mix of Pharo and Pharo20 packages. The rest | seems to work, also functionally. | | Things I didn't test or even load: | - OB tooling | - Slime/SLint tooling | | [1] http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside31 | | Cheers | Philippe | _______________________________________________ | seaside mailing list | seaside@lists.squeakfoundation.org | http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |
