[Pharo-project] Process for fixing a package in stable but not in core?
Hi, Forgive me, but I'm still new to the Pharo development process, and my problem lies somewhere between being a Pharo developer and user. First, "Beeper beep" does not work in the current 1.2.1 image that I'm using for production. I need to fix it and would like to share that fix with the community. Second, I see from (closed) Issue 3489 that this is not a Pharo core problem, but one with the PharoSound package, and that, apparently, it might be fixed in the latest package version. Third, I fire up my 1.2.1 image, open the PharoSound squeaksource repository in the monticello browser and discover that, as expected, squeaksource does have some newer packages than the image. For example, 1.2.1-image: Sound-GuillermoPolito.63 vs. squeaksource: Sound-MarianoMartinezPeck.65 However, in other cases, the squeaksource package is _older_ than the image's. For example, squeaksource: ConfigurationOfPharoSound-GuillermoPolito.17 vs. 1.2.1-image: ConfigurationOfPharoSound-GuillermoPolito.22. How does one make sense of this? While can I reliably get the latest version of PharoSound loaded in a 1.2.1 image so that I know I'm writing and testing my fixes against a version that I can give back to the community -- and, more importantly, won't be blown away by some upcoming package version juggling? Thanks, Mike
Hi michael this pharoseound settings is a mess. I probably contributed also because Beep beep was not working. I should take some time to really have a look. So far I a bit busy. we got some concurrent updates. The configurationOfSound if it exist should tell us which version to load. Or configurationOfPharo. In the future we will clean all that. Sorry for the problem. Stef On Apr 26, 2011, at 6:47 PM, Michael Forster wrote:
