funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

Package browser?
by Rob Vens June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

I am attempting to do the Pharo by Example book, but a package browser (which is used in the examples) is not in the 1.1.1 or 1.2 image. Should I still use categories? If I create a package in Monticello browser I am not able to add classes or anything (not as far as I could see). Just starting out using Pharo, so apologies if these questions are already answered elsewhere.

Actors library
by Alex Schenkman Jan. 24, 2012

Hi list, Is there an Actors library already available in Pharo? The part I'm interested in is the asynchronous message passing. If it has been done already, why not reuse? Thanks in advance!

GlorpDBX
by Jonathan Kelly Nov. 22, 2011

Nov. 22, 2011

Hi, feeling particularly stupid right now. Been trying to get Glorp DBX working with Postgresql for the last 2 hours and I'm busted. It took me about an out just to find out how to load and configure things. ugh. It took me a while to work out I had to actually install OpenDBX (doh). So I have downloaded that and added the directory to my PATH. So I'm trying to run the tests and I get DBXFatalError: FATAL OpenDBX: Loading backend library failed. I know it's finding OpenDBX, because when I move the OpenDBX folder, I get a different error - "Error: External Module Not Found" from apiInitialize (and I can see it's trying to load libopendbx-1.dll). Part of my problem is squeakdbx.org domain expired on 09/27/11 and is now a godaddy parking page. double ugh. Anyone got any ideas? I'm running a fresh 1.3 using CogVM-Win-13307 install on Windows XP. Jonathan.

Brainstorming on the roadmap for first Pharo Consortium Engineer :)
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Nov. 3, 2011

Nov. 3, 2011

Hi guys we have a roadmap for Esteban and we would like to share it with you. We have extra items that we would like to see fixed and we are welcoming your feedback/suggestions. Note this is typically the way we want to work with the consortium in the future: Build an initial roadmap and refine it based on the input of the community. - A website for the consortium registration (esteban is expert on that). - This is important for INRIA and for the visibility of the consortium. We should get new members :) - Integration with SmalltalkHub - Working on fixing bugs! - Debugger fixes - Continuous bug fixing. - Improving release process: faster, more people involved, simpler. - Working on metacello repositories for each distributions (everything is there but missing last bits) - Metacello tools - Automatic release validations - Automatic validation of fixes Now the free items with probably igor involvement - Multiwindowing support - Fully working multithreaded FFI with ***Documentation*** - Filesystem fix and integration - Integration of OPAL - RPackage integration Igor related - Ephemerons - Object format - VM branding - Use of new canvas - Event cleaning So we are waiting for your suggestions.

[pharo-users] Can't Load Magma in Pharo 1.3
by Ankur Sethi Nov. 2, 2011

Nov. 2, 2011

Hi, I'm new to Pharo and Smalltalk in general. I'm trying to build a small blogging application using Pharo and Seaside. I've decided to use Magma for persistence, but I'm having some issues loading it in Pharo 1.3. I loaded Magma the usual way: Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma'; load. (Smalltalk at:#ConfigurationOfMagma) project latestVersion load: 'Server'; load: 'Client'. ... and I was presented with a backtrace. Since didn't know how to get a full backtrace out of Pharo in plain text, I took a screenshot: http://imagebin.org/180559 I know this is not adequate, but I'm hoping someone can help me get Pharo to give me information about this issue in a more convenient format. When I told Pharo to abandon loading the package and then re-evaluated this: (Smalltalk at:#ConfigurationOfMagma) project latestVersion load: 'Server'; load: 'Client'. ... then everything went just fine. I even tried creating a Magma repository, which worked. However, some things were totally borked in my Pharo image. I couldn't get the System Browser to do syntax highlighting, for one. I'm using Pharo1.3 + CogVM 13307 on Mac OS X Lion. I hope I made sense. Thanks. -- Ankur Sethi (GeneralMaximus on IRC and elsewhere)

Hi guys Since INRIA accepted to pay one engineer around the pharo consortium we will hire Esteban Lorenzano for a year. We are excited by that! I should do a lot of paper work but this is really cool. For the consortium we are working on it :) - Inria law oriented people are designing a "CAML" like consortium text. http://caml.inria.fr/consortium/ but simpler :). For pharo there will be no specific license just plain MIT. - Marcus is setting up a mailing-list and we will make public the names of the companies that are participating (if they agree). Note that several companies developing in VisualAge (Instantiations, HRWorks..) or Gemstone mentioned their intentions to join the consortium and we welcome them. - We will discuss the prices and modality but the goal is that any individual can be a consortium member and that we can pay one or two engineers to support Pharo development and bring more people into Smalltalk.

Breakthorugh Porting to Latest Pharo
by Sean P. DeNigris Oct. 30, 2011

Oct. 30, 2011

With Ramon Leon's simple image-based persistence, I now have one script that moves all my code /and data/ into a new image. Also, Pharo 1.3 with Cog Jit VM seems really fast at loading code. I just loaded all my personal projects and the following into 1.3-rc in ~1 minute: PetitParser Phexample FFI Applescript SimplePersistence OSProcess CommandShell KomHttpServer SimpleRestServer ExternalWebBrowser This used to be /much/ longer and more complicated! -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Breakthorugh-Porting-to-Latest-Pharo-tp3952134p395213… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
