FFI

by Sean P. DeNigris

Is anybody using FFI in either 1.2 or 1.3? If so, how did you get it working? I got an "Unable to find function address" after: 1. Fresh 1.3 #13269 image 2. ConfigurationOfFFI from MetacelloRepository 3. ConfigurationOfFFI project latestVersion load 4. MacOSShell new system: 'open "http://google.com"' Thanks.

[ANN] LatAm Squeaksource Mirror online again

by Johan Fabry

Hi all, I'm happy to announce that the Latin American public, read-only Squeaksource mirror is again up and running. (We are bringing the contents up to date right now, it should be competely up-to-date in about 5 hours ...) The URL is: http://www.dsal.cl/squeaksource/ Note that you can use this mirror *in a completely transparent fashion*. We have worked out a solution to the privacy issues raised by the first iteration of our mirror. I would like to emphasize that private data has never been present on the mirror, only the name of private projects was accessible. TECHNICAL DETAILS BELOW. Please redistribute this announcement! (below is mainly a repeat of the body of my previous mail) MOTIVATION: For us, Switzerland is a long way and the connection to Squeaksource has always been painfully slow. We've set up this mirror to help to address this, and I imagine that it will be of use not only for the Chileans but also other countries in latin america, which is why I am announcing it here. ITS TRANSPARENT: I've worked out a way to make the use of this mirror transparent when using Pharo 1.3: you just use monticello as always, and have a setting to redirect loads from Squeaksource to wherever you want. I have successfully loaded Moose and Seaside from the mirror using this package, so it should work for you. And I can tell you, it was blazingly fast: Seaside loaded in 5m45, and most of the time was spent compiling ... ;-) So try the mirror and the package out, send me your comments, we want to work on this to make Squeaksource a better experience for everybody. HOW TO USE from Pharo 1.3: - Get the redirection package from http://www.squeaksource.com/MonticelloRedirect - To load from the mirror instead of from Squeaksource, do-it of the following: MRManager redirectFrom: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/' to: 'http://www.dsal.cl/squeaksource/'. - To remove this redirection: MRManager removeFrom: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/'. - See comments of MRManager for more info. MRManager list can be useful at some times. - Only 2 classes, < 10 methods, not counting accessors. The trick is the use of MethodWrappers. - I did not test this in Squeak or other versions of Pharo. Feel free to try it out in your environment and send me patches if needed. - There is no UI, contributions are welcome!! DETAILS ON THE MIRROR - It's a full copy of Squeaksource, updated daily. - The mirror is read-only: if you want to make a commit you still have to do it in Squeaksource. This is to avoid all the complications of distributed writes. - Updates happen once a day, before midnight Chilean time. Updates take typically (up till now) 200 minutes (!), average download speed here is 200KB/s :-( - Lukas Renggli pointed out that the Squeaksource sitemap file provides a list of projects. We pass this to wget (with some massaging of the data inbetween). - The software that does the mirror is available here: https://github.com/vramiro/easy-wget-mirror MANY THANKS TO: - Daniel Galdames for doing the original mirroring tests - Victor Ramiro for taking Daniels' work and putting it in production - The Squeaksource team for helping us, especially Fabrizio Perin and Mircea Lungu - Lukas Renggli for pointing out the issues with the previous version and providing an alternative. - You for trying it out and telling us about it! ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry jfabry(a)dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Fwd: [Pharo-project] [ANN] OpenDBXDriver Release - DBXTalk Release Step 1

by Mariano Martinez Peck

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 1:19 PM Subject: [Pharo-project] [ANN] OpenDBXDriver Release - DBXTalk Release Step 1 To: Pharo Development <Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr> Hi folks!! We are proud to make our first release of OpenDBXDriver -1.0 version-, formerly known as SqueakDBX. Now the project involves much more than just a database driver. This whole new project is called DBXTalk and OpenDBXDriver is just one of the sub-projects. There are several changes between this version and the last one of SqueakDBX, but most of them is about infrastructure: test were moved to a separate package, platform packages and backend classes were renamed, all "SqueakDBX" was replaced with its new name. To install it: Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver'; load. (((Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfOpenDBXDriver) perform: #project) perform: #version: with: #stable) load. We have also created a new repository for all the code: http://www.squeaksource.com/DBXTalk The issue tracker is in: http://code.google.com/p/dbxtalk/issues/list Thanks to Natacha Perrin we have a new DBXTalk logo that you can see in: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/dbxtalk46.png The license of the logo is Creative Commons. We have also started a Pharo By Example chapter. So far we are writing about DBXTalk, but soon we will do about Glorp. We attach a draft of it while it is integrated into the main git repository of the book. Just in case here is the git repo fork: https://github.com/guillep/PharoByExample-english. Just to let you know, we have already ported the last VW release of Glorp to Pharo and we have it already working MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and Sqlite3. We are closing some last problems and we will soon make the first release. We want to thanks Alan Night for all his help and his reviews :). 4 persons of the team are present at ESUG right now and we are going to give a talk on Friday. We will upload then the slides. Finally, we would like to thanks ESUG for the sponsorship through this ESUG SummerTalk. Thanks! Guille, Mariano, Esteban, Santiago, Gise -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com
