[Pharo-project] [ANN] Magma 1.1r2
I am pleased to announce a new release of Magma containing my updates since 1.1r1: - All underscore assignments have now been updated to ANSI assignments. - When opening the server, a file called "_open" is created in the repository directory, to indicate the repository is open. The file is deleted when the repository is closed gracefully. This is intended to help protect from accidentally letting two OS processes open the same repository files. - Resurrected MagmaDictionary! It is just like a Dictionary except that it inherits the properties of Magma's LargeCollections, such as size and concurrency. - Added Collection>>#asMagmaArray and MagmaArray>>#add:. - Added check for an additional way to run Squeak in headless mode: the "-vm-display-null" option. - Added MagmaSessionRequest class>>#signalNewReadStrategy: so that domains may signal new ReadStrategies to any listening sessions. - Added MagmaLocalLocation>>#findSession, a convenient counterpart to #newSession that first checks there is already a session open on that location and, if so, use that one. Otherwise, create and answer a new one. - Support for persistent, simple BlockClosures (e.g., with only references to arguments, not "self", any instVars or globals). - Choose automatically between an appropriate MaDictionary subclass, depending on whether the new Weak-Finalization mechanism from Igor is supported. - Several other minor fixes. The following represent the 1.1r2 configuration, in load-dependent order: "Magma client" { 'Collections-BTree-lr.73.mcz'. 'Ma exception handling-cmm.36.mcz'. 'Ma base additions-cmm.174.mcz'. 'MaFixedWidthReport-cmm.7.mcz'. 'Ma Statistics-cmm.24.mcz'. 'Ma files additions-cmm.13.mcz'. 'Ma contextual search-cmm.34.mcz'. 'Ma special collections-cmm.114.mcz'. 'WriteBarrier-cmm.28.mcz'. 'Ma Squeak domain-cmm.34.mcz'. 'Ma proxy support-cmm.42.mcz'. 'Ma traverse object graphs-cmm.31.mcz'. 'Ma object serialization-cmm.234.mcz'. 'Ma client server-cmm.215.mcz'. 'Magma client-cmm.490.mcz' } "for Magma server add" , {'Magma server-cmm.406.mcz'. } "for Magma tester add" , { 'Ma Armored Code-cmm.148.mcz'. 'Ma special collections tester-cmm.14.mcz'. 'Ma object serialization tester-cmm.32.mcz'. 'Magma tester-cmm.367.mcz' } These package versions are available in the "MagmaTester" project of squeaksource.com. - Chris

This is a new package. What other package depends on it?
These package versions are available in the "MagmaTester" project of squeaksource.com.
Why on MagmaTester? I thought that for released versions, they were always on Magma repository and that MagmaTester was for your beta and not released yet versions, isn't that true anymore? In repository squeaksource.com/WriteBarrier, there are packages: WriteBarrier-tbn.28.mcz WriteBarrier-cmm.27.mcz Then in MagmaTester repository there is WriteBarrier-cmm.28.mcz and in Magma there is -- Miguel Cobá http://miguel.leugim.com.mx

Is the package modified, and pushed to the original repo (WriteBarrier) and *then* copied to MagmaTester and Magma or Is the package modified in your MagmaTester repo and when finished, copied to original repo (WriteBarrier) and releases repo (Magma) I have prepared an update to the configuration of Magma for 1.1r2 with the preferences corrected but I would like to have all the packages in WriteBarrier and in Magma (that I consider the releases repositories, or at least, everything on Magma so that the configuration doesn't refer to MagmaTester altogether).

Hi,
'Ma files additions-cmm.13.mcz'.
This is a new package. What other package depends on it?
The #fullBackupTo: method in Magma server uses a MaClientProcess, a Process-wrapper that can broadcasts its progress, among other things. MaClientProcess is part of the "Ma contextual search" package, which depends on "Ma files additions" for its use of the #directoryTreeDo: method (for something else unrelated to Magma). The "Ma" suite of packages do serve several projects, not just Magma, even if some methods seem to be "unused" from Magma's perspective.
Why on MagmaTester? I thought that for released versions, they were always on Magma repository and that MagmaTester was for your beta and not released yet versions, isn't that true anymore?
It is still true. My objective was to get something out as quickly as possible to try to accommodate the Pharo release schedule. I always start at "Magma tester" I have now copied them to the other repository. Thanks for your continued assistance on the Pharo side of things. BTW: note there is an updated version of Magma tester which removed an old unused test.
In repository squeaksource.com/WriteBarrier, there are packages:
WriteBarrier-tbn.28.mcz WriteBarrier-cmm.27.mcz
Then in MagmaTester repository there is
WriteBarrier-cmm.28.mcz
and in Magma there is
WriteBarrier-pmm.26.mcz
The correct one to use is WriteBarrier-cmm.28.mcz. I do not have update access to the "WriteBarrier" project on SqueakSource. Perhaps Phillip will let me have access or copy it there for me? I had tried to use WriteBarrier-tbn.28.mcz but there were still underscore assignments in there. Therefore, since I had to "do some work" anyway, I went ahead and reverted back to cmm.27, got out the trusty ol'e FixUnderscores package, since it works and also preserves the accounting information which, as you know, is important to me.
So I don't understand either, what is the policy here. Is the package modified, and pushed to the original repo (WriteBarrier) and *then* copied to MagmaTester and Magma or
The rate of Magma releases has slowed considerably because it has been stable and I've been working on other projects that employ Magma lately rather than working very much on Magma itself. So I might like at some point to retire "MagmaTester"; delete it. Feedback is appreciated.
I have prepared an update to the configuration of Magma for 1.1r2 with the preferences corrected but I would like to have all the packages in WriteBarrier and in Magma (that I consider the releases repositories, or at least, everything on Magma so that the configuration doesn't refer to MagmaTester altogether). What do you think?
OK, I've copied them to "Magma" too. I will upload the SAR file to SqueakMap too, soonish. - Chris

Ok. I will update the dependency graph of the ConfigurationOfMagma with this info.

Perfect. I will release a new ConfigurationOfMagma with support for this new version 1.1r2 with packages taken all from Magma repo in squeaksource.
In repository squeaksource.com/WriteBarrier, there are packages:
WriteBarrier-tbn.28.mcz WriteBarrier-cmm.27.mcz
Then in MagmaTester repository there is
WriteBarrier-cmm.28.mcz
and in Magma there is

Please Phillipe, +1 to adding Chris to the developers of WriteBarrier as Magma is a main user of WriteBarrier. This way the last version will be on WriteBarrier repo (authoritative) and copied also in Magma repo (in case WriteBarrier disappear someday).

I vote for deleting it, because every released version is on Magma repo (I think) so there is less noise and less mistakes having some packages in one repo and others in other that form a release.
I have prepared an update to the configuration of Magma for 1.1r2 with the preferences corrected but I would like to have all the packages in WriteBarrier and in Magma (that I consider the releases repositories, or at least, everything on Magma so that the configuration doesn't refer to MagmaTester altogether).

OK, I've copied them to "Magma" too. I will upload the SAR file to SqueakMap too, soonish.
Good, I will base the configuration packages version number on this sar. It will be named 1.1r2 or will be 1.1r3 (due to the deletion of a test in the package you mentioned before, maybe isn't big enough to deserve a new release and it was a "hurry" release maybe can we consider this a typo and consider the sar the official 1.1r2 release) Thanks for the answers

Yes, it was just the removal of one test, so please stay with 1.1r2. I'm pretty certain it's not going to affect any of the millions of folks who have downloaded Magma since yesterday... :)
This is great new, Thanks Chris 2010/7/30 Chris Muller <asqueaker@gmail.com>

Two more package missing in Magma repo: Ma exception handling-cmm.36.mcz Ma object serialization tester-cmm.32.mcz It is specified by the 1.1r2 mcm. In Magma repository there are: Ma exception handling-cmm.33.mcz Ma object serialization tester-cmm.30.mcz Cheers -- Miguel Cobá http://miguel.leugim.com.mx
