Using SqueakSource / Metacello "offline"
by jtuchel July 21, 2011

July 21, 2011

Hi there, I need to load packages from SqueakSource into an image that sits on a machine behind a proxy that won't let me download from Squeaksource. I can, however, download packages using the Browser. The problem for me is that ConfigurationOfSeaside30, for example, requires a lot of packages to be loaded first. So I know I can donload all the .mcz files from Squeaksource and copy them to my local PackageCache, but I am looking for a way to find out which ones I need. Is manually extracting the info from the ConfigurationOfSeaside30 class the only way to do that? And how would I go about using ConfigurationOfSeaside30 to use my package cache instead of the online repositories? Any ideas?

install system fonts on linux
by Jon Hancock July 19, 2011

July 19, 2011

In pharo 1.1, in the settings manager, I can "Update fonts from system" and have access to all/most ubuntu fonts. This works on Ubuntu 10.04 and Mint 10 (ubuntu 10.10). With pharo 1.2.1 and 1.3, I get nothing. I'm left with DejuVu and Accuny. Does anyone know a solution for this? thanks, Jon

Setting values using reflection
by tgiaccone July 18, 2011

July 18, 2011

I've been playing with smalltalk casually now, for months and really like it. But I"m clearly still a newb. I've reached the point in a small project where I want to set the values on my object based on the values that are in a dictionary. The dictionary is filled with a set of keys that represent attributes on the object. So for a simple example, imagine I have an object which has accessors for 'title' and 'title:'. I want to iterate across the set of keys, being certain that each key is a valid msg to send to myOBject. The send the object the message with the value from the dictionary. Now, I understand that I can do: myObject perform: 'title' asSymbol. and use that as a way to message myObject with the selector 'title' As I understand it this is equivalent to getting the value with: myObject title What I've looked for an been unable to find is how to set the value. What is the equivalent to: myOBject title: 'A new title'. using perform? Thank you for your help.
