Re: [Pharo-users] Should I be reporting bugs in Pharo 3.0?

by Tim Mackinnon

Can I check one more item - should I record the actual Image version where bugs occur? In fogbugz, there is a version field - but I'm not sure what your convention is for these things? (Is it written down somewhere for me to read how to report good bugs using FogBugz). As an aside - I'm quite surprised how poor Fogbugz is. I had read it was a good bug tracker - but in practice its quite minimal. I'm quite shocked you can't easily duplicate a bug-report (I wrote to them and they said you have to use some browser plugin as its not built in), I also can't see how to link bug-report (as in, similar to X). Not Pharo's fault of course.

Re: [Pharo-users] Roassal2 Composite Shape

by Juraj Kubelka

I think you should make a new composite shape. But first check how the width and height is computed, because the shapes somehow share the same (biggest) size.

I changed the example to use the euro/us date conversion as that is indeed something most people will understand. Thx!

Roassal2 Composite Shape

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Hi I'm trying to draw an ellipse inside another ellipse but to no avail. I've tried using RTCompositeShape but that just expands the size of the smaller shape. Is there something else I'm missing (like fixing dimensions so they won't get updated) or should I subclass RTAbstractCompositeShape and try to make something on my own? Thanks, Peter

Cool! It reminds me the package dependency analyzer of Dolphin Smalltalk. :) Esteban A.

Re: [Pharo-users] Working with timezones

Yeap, and using UTC whenever possible to have a "zero" point of reference. Even when using a predefined time offset would be possible. After reading W3's TR I mentioned before, I learnt there is a reason to store timezone information if you have to deal with dates and times in the future when using incremental time representations (like the ones used by most systems). In such case a change in DST. Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo

Package Dependencies Analyzer

by Baptiste QuidÃ©

Hello Pharo users, let me introduce a new tool that I developed in the RMOD team: package dependencies analyzer. This project provides a tool able to analyze Smalltalk project packages and detect dependencies to other packages. It enables automatic dependency analysis to detect wrong project description (declared dependencies). It's very easy to use and i hope it will be helpful during your development time. As soon as possible, a next version will enable to detect cycle dependencies among packages. The description of the project is on this web-page : http://www.baptistequide.fr/packagedependencies.php It's already available on the Configuration Browser on Pharo. Your feedback and suggestions are mostly welcome to improve this project. I invite you to test the tool. Cheers, Baptiste

Re: [Pharo-users] Working with timezones

by Paul DeBruicker

Additionally I think its helpful to remember that timezones are political constructs and so are completely arbitrary and open to change based on the whims of political leaders e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Russia#Daylight_saving_time So best keep them out of your code, near the presentation layer, as much as possible as Stephan recommends.

Re: [Pharo-users] Should I be reporting bugs in Pharo 3.0?

by Tim Mackinnon

Nicolai - your instructions worked perfectly (thanks - I'm a smaller step closer to contributing). I tried the slice in a fresh image and hit some strange problems (might not be related to your fix, although its only when I load that I see them). I've put it in the FobFubgz and reassigned it back to you (hoepfully that's what I'm supposed to do).
