[ANN] Pillar release 0.6
by Damien Cassou Jan. 16, 2014

Jan. 16, 2014

Dear lists, I'm proud to announce the 0.6 release of Pillar, a syntax and associated tools to write and generate documentation and books. Pillar is currently used to write the Enterprise Pharo book (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/) and other projects. The attached screenshot shows a part of the Voyage documentation generated by Pillar (from https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english/bl…) Pillar has many features: - simple markup-based syntax with references, tables, pictures, captions... (this is the syntax of Pier) - export to HTML, LaTeX and markdown (more to come) - customization of the export through a dedicated STON configuration file - support of templates using the Mustache templating engine - syntax-highlighting of generated code blocks (not yet in LaTeX) - configurable numbering of section titles and figures - ... Pillar has also: - a 5-minutes tutorial (https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation/blob/master/README.md#…) - a documentation (https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation) (in progress) - a good test coverage (91% with more than a 1000 executed tests) - a continuous integration job (https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Pillar/) - a command-line interface (https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation#5--command-line-interf…) - several existing use cases: https://github.com/DamienCassou/pillar-documentation#6--example-pillar-usage -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm."

[HELP] Phratch translation
by jannik.laval Jan. 16, 2014

Jan. 16, 2014

Dear smalltalkers, phratchers and everybody interested to help Phratch development. We need you as an international community. Phratch needs your help to be multilingual. The most of work is already done, It is based on the Scratch work (Thank you for all the supported languages). Now, as Phratch has a lot of new features, we need to translate each of these new features. For each of the following languages (ar, bg, ca, cs, da, de, el, es, et, eu, fa, fi, fr_CA, gl, he, hr, ht, hu, id, is, it, ja_hira, ja, kn, ko, lt, mk, mn, mr, ms, ne, nl, no, pl, pt_br, pt, ro, ru, rw, sk, sl, sv, th, tr, uk, vi, zh_cn, zh_tw), we need to complete the lines available in the phratch issue tracker (https://code.google.com/p/phratch/issues/detail?id=120) You can post your work as a comment or send me a mail, I will then integrate it in Phratch. For each expression there is a msgid in english, that should not be changed. Then, there is a msgstr that should be complete in the specific language. All elements in the $$ (like $Number$) are variables, they should not be changed but they have to be integrated in your translation. For example, in french: === msgid "replace costume $Number$ with $NewCostume$" msgstr "remplacer le costume $Number$ avec $NewCostume$" === There is less than 130 small expressions. It is 1 or 2 hours of work, and it helps us a lot. Thank you for your help. Cheers, Jannik

Hello, When i do a query to the Twitter Api, it returns a dictionary built from json data. Does anyone knows if a tweet first class object exists so I can handle the response in a simplest way? Cheers, Rosario

SQL queries without injection vulnerability (DBXTalk)
by Daniel Lyons Jan. 14, 2014

Jan. 14, 2014

I'd like to run some ad-hoc queries against my database without opening up a security vulnerability. I don't see any direct way to use parameterized queries from DBXTalk. I'd expect to see something like #executeStatement:withArguments: but I don't. In fact, I don't even see odbx_escape in the image anywhere. What's the trick here? Surely GlorpDBX et. al. are not gluing together bits of SQL with bits of user-supplied text and running it unescaped. What am I missing? http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/C_API/Usage#Executing_sta… Thanks for your time, â Daniel Lyons

Installing GlorpDBX on OS X Mavericks for Pharo 2.0.
by Daniel Lyons Jan. 14, 2014

Jan. 14, 2014

In case someone else is trying to get this to work, hereâs a recipe I found that worked for me. Scenario: you have PostgreSQL on your Mac via MacPorts and would like to install GlorpDBX with your Pharo 2.0. 1. Make sure you have a universal build of PostgreSQL. Pharo 2.0 is 32-bit, and MacPorts is probably going to fetch you a 64-bit build of Postgres. So do this: $ sudo port install postgresql93 +universal 2. Download opendbx 1.4.6 and use the following options to ./configure: $ ./configure CFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/postgresql93 -arch i386 -arch x86_64" CXXFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include -I/opt/local/include/postgresql93 -arch i386 -arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib/postgresql93 -arch i386 -arch x86_64" --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-utils --with-backends=pgsql Most of that is wiring up opendbx to the MacPorts-specific install areas for Postgres. The -arch flags cause it to build a universal library. --disable-dependency-tracking was mentioned on Stack Overflow here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3350107/how-to-compile-universal-librari… --disable-utils stops the build from trying to make a command line utility that seems not to build with the readline on Mavericks. 3. Install it: $ sudo make install >From here, creating a username/database sodbxtest showed the unit tests passing. Thanks, â Daniel Lyons

[ANN] Voyage documentation done
by Johan Fabry Jan. 13, 2014

Jan. 13, 2014

Hi all, I'm happy to say that I finished the rewrite of the documentation of Voyage meant for the Pharo for the Enterprise book. Thanks to Esteban for the original text, and Sabine and Norbert for providing info and text that I integrated in the documentation. I hope the documentation is understandable and that it will be useful to many ;-). If you are interested/knowledgable in Voyage, please have a look at the text. All comments, corrections, and additions are very welcome! Feel free to send me a mail !! The source files are available from github https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates/PharoForTheEnterprise-english and a up-to-date .pdf will be available after the Inria build server https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/ does its thing (I have no control over that). Now â¦ it's time to attack the text on Spec ;-) ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile
