Re: [Pharo-users] Trying to install Pharo Non Core Packages from online instructions.

by Victor Stan

So it seems that "Preferences" is a class in the Compatibility package/collection, and it has no methods at all... I guess this is a dead end for this package?

Thanks, I have changed it to be: ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfPharoNonCore) project version: '1.1.1') load. Which allows me to move on from that point, but I get stuck on another issue now...

Re: [Pharo-users] Open Source OODB's

Thanks, I can imagine GemStone is quite advanced. I am curious though about open source alternatives that do a good enough job for smaller projects. Thanks for all the suggestions!

which version of Pharo are you using? because PackageInfo is no longer valid in 2.0, where you need to use: RPackage organizer packages cheers, Esteban On Apr 4, 2013, at 8:03 PM, Christian Caldeiro <christian.caldeiro(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Run this and you will get an array with all PackageInfo (packages) instances: > > PackageInfo allPackages > > Cheers > Christian > > > > On Thu, Apr 4, 2013 at 2:30 PM, ashwinshankar77 <ashwinshankar77(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm a grad student at UIUC and I'm working on building > an automatic package(category) refactoring and visualization tool for pharo. > As a first step,I need to figure out how I can programmatically get the list > of packages/categories in the image. > To do this I tried the following - when I open the 'System Browser' > in pharo,the leftmost pane displays the packages.

Maybe just putting a banner or some unavoidable visual feedback stating that the book refers to a previous version of Pharo, and the new version is on its way (if it is, otherwise I'd just leave the first part :)) Regards!

This is a real problem, even a class or method comments quickly gets out of sync as software evolves. Maybe, just like in code, the key is to write as little as possible in an elegant non repetitive way.
