Re: [Pharo-users] Questions about Magma

by Thushar G R

Hi , @StÃ©phane Ducasse I will definitely give mango DB a try. I was using GLORP since a very long time (not in pharo) so when i looked at magma i got interested. So all other options stayed back for later in my list. @Stuart Herring The changes as far as i know is related to SystemAnnouncer , FileReference and the vm parameterAt: . So what i plan to do is to load all the latest stuff a from ss3.gemstone.com/ss/MaBase Ma-Client-Server Magama , make the changes and run the tests , with *MagmaTestCase fullSuite maDebug* Hopefully i may get some bugs which i can fix...else i will be contacting the author. I hope Chriss muller will be reading this...and correcting me if i wrote something wrong. Thanks to all.

Excellent. We would really like to have magma running on Pharo.

Re: [Pharo-users] Questions about Magma

by Stuart Herring

Hi Thushar, Magma's developer mostly uses Squeak, so the latest version of Pharo that Magma works more or less out-of-the-box on is 1.3. I made a start on porting it to 1.4, and then 2.0 but then promptly ran out of time. However, as far as I'm aware the porting should mostly consist of the change to SystemAnnouncer, and Filesystem as you mentioned. Magma has a pretty comprehensive test suite, so it should be relatively easy to verify any porting effort. I know that people seem to be gravitating towards other solutions, as StÃ©phane mentioned, but Magma is still an excellent tool, and is ridiculously simple to use. I like it enough that for my own projects, I'm still using Pharo 1.3 so I can use it, until the desire to use 2.0 and beyond finally pushes me into completing my porting effort ;) If you do want to give the porting a go yourself, I'd suggest posting to the Magma list. Chris is very supportive of porting efforts. Regards, Stuart On 4 June 2013 22:32, Thushar G R <thushar.gr(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > > I am new here in this list.

Re: [Pharo-users] Questions about Magma

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Hi Thushar I do not know if magma is working on Pharo. Now I suggest you to have a look at MongoDB and MongoTalk. Because this is what the people around are using. You have also voyage that serialize object described with magritte in mongotalk. Now we should write some docs, but it would be better if people would write a little tutorial each with their libraries like svn does so well. Stef > Hi all, > > > I am new here in this list.
