Wiki-gardening on the Pharo online book

by Simon Denier

Looking at the TOC of the Pharo online book, there are lots of new things, including duplicated/empty chapters especially in the Pharo tools section. What about a bit of wiki gardening in the next days? http://book.pharo-project.org/book/table-of-contents -- Simon Denier

The original implementation is the one of Colin in OB. I extracted it and created a separate package the Pharo integrated at some point.

OB used the Pharo implementation for a while (if I remember correctly that was during Pharo 1.1), but eventually dropped back to its own implementation. Today it is probably the best to implement your own announcements with your own two methods that you need to make sure it just works in your package. Lukas -- Lukas Renggli www.lukas-renggli.ch

Initially, announcements which were added to pharo has very compact implementation, with minimal features available. It was inspired by Announcements from VisualWorks, but implemented from scratch based only on publicly available description. I guess it was done specifically to avoid potential problems with licensing. Lukas could say more about it, since it is he, who did an initial implementation , if i'm not mistaken.

Pharo using old release of Announcements?

by Runar Jordahl

The implementation of Announcements in Pharo 1.2.1 looks very different from the one in VisualWorks 7.7.1. For example, VisualWorks implements Object>>announce: , meaning that classes that want to âannounceâ , can simply reimplement #subscriptionRegistryOrNil , while in Pharo you need to inherit from Annoucer or reimplement all its methods. Does anyone know why there are differences between the two dialects? Is Pharo not keept up to date in this area? Kind regards Runar

MCPackage and its Metacello dependencies

by Johan Fabry

Hi all, I am playing around with Monticello and Metacello and I wondered if anybody could give me some pointers as to the solution of the following question: Given a specific MCPackage that was loaded because of an unknown Metacello config, how can I obtain the list of required packages from Metacello? Thanks in advance :-) -- Johan Fabry jfabry(a)dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile
