[Pharo-project] [ANN] Customized Cog Win32 for Pharo 1.3 (based on Cog r2474)
OK, thanks for the pointer to https://pharo-ic.lille.inria.fr/hudson/view/Cog/job/Cog-Win32/ Still this one is not yet customized to use the "lighthouse and gear" icon. It also does not include a resource section - so one can find out the vendor and version easily using explorer directly on the EXE's properties. Any admin would be suspicious if he would find an EXE on a hard disk that does not include the vendor and product name. This info is also used when the firewall pops up as soon as you have a Seaside app running that requests network access. With this (not yet branded) VM the info would be empty... I can provide the necessary info/files for that, so we can include them into the auto build. This is easy to change. But still I dont know what the codebase of this auto build Cog VM for windows is. Is it the Subversion repo from Eliot or the Git clone from Igor? If it is the git one how does it relate to Eliots work, for instance is the IAB32 and MT stuff already part of it as in #r2474? Is it auto-merged or who is in charge of merging things into it? I know this could end up in a discussion about Pharo forking and personal working styles - but nonetheless I'm eager to know more about all these (now distributed?) work being done. Esteban wrote:

Anything I can answer here is that Windows is one of the relevant parts of the IT market - if we want Pharo to be successfull in commercial environments we should help developers/pharo users to easily feel comfortable in these environments and help their customers on ANY platform - including Windows. So your comment didnt help to make the situation better, did it? Nothing more to add.

So, provide us these files :)

This one: https://gitorious.org/cogvm

It related closely. All updates from Eliot are there (with some delay). I did not merged r2474 yet.
Is it auto-merged or who is in charge of merging things into it?
I merging stuff periodically. I could make it to merge with svn automatically, but i doing it manually to ensure there is no mistakes, conflicts etc.

Well, git repository initially was a 1:1 mirror of svn. Today it has some changes, but mostly not in codebase provided by Eliot but in organization. 1. This repository does not storing generated source files, and image(s) because we always generating them when performing an automated build. 2. Also, it contains a Mac Cocoa and iOS platform sources, maintained by Esteban.
