distributed peer2peer sharing app in Pharo

by Peter H. Meadows

I'd like to make a simple distributed peer2peer sharing app in Pharo. Is Zinc WebSockets the way to go? Has anything similar been done already in Smalltalk? Any ideas on how to keep the clients synchronized? Is it worth looking at how OpenCobalt/OpenQwaq does it, (or are they very advanced/complex/hard to understand)? tanks in advance.

[ANN] Cupboard inspector for Teapot

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi, I took a few minutes to add a custom inspector tool ("Cupboard") to Teapot showing all the available teapots. The tool is accessible from the Tool menu right after loading "Teapot" and allows get an overview on running teapots. If you teapot has dynamic routes they will be shown as well. See screenshot attached. You can also start/stop a Teapot or add a new one serving static contents from a selected directory. Also catalog messages were added to the ConfigurationOfTeapot and the NeoJSON repo in the dependencies was fixed. Just get the lates stable version: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'zeroflag' project: 'Teapot'; configuration; loadStable. or directly load from ConfigBrowser (Pharo 4) or CatalogBrowser/Spotter (Pharo 5) in a fresh image. If you want to quickly serve a (static) webpage from Pharo ========================================================== Create a web directory and HTML page - use "Tools" -> "File Browser" - create a directory "www" using "Add new directory", navigate to it - create a new file "index.html" using "Add new file", edit it and accept the changes Serve it from Pharo - load Teapot in a fresh image - open "Tools" -> "Teapot" - click on the server icon on the right to create a new static server - accept the default port 80 or enter a new one - select the directory Point your browser to http://localhost:80 If you want to quickly server (dynamic) content from Pharo: =========================================================== - use one of the examples on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~zeroflag/Teapot Note that the dynamic routes are shown in the new tool Tip: if you like use "Mustache" template library to mix HTML content (like Bootstrap templates, Material design templates or other with your Pharo server objects to serve pages) Have fun T.

I just checked, and it looks like someone has back-copied all versions to the Rubric repo. Thanks :) I also tested in the latest Moose 6, and there is no error when printing on the Transcript.

Another pass on catalog web-site (Styling)

by Esteban Lorenzano

Hi, I made another pass on catalog web-site. This time I just enhanced a bit the stylingâ¦ still a lot to do but is looking better and better: http://catalog.pharo.org (you might need a force refresh) But in fact, this announce is just an excuse to remember you to enhance your configurations with catalog information as described here: http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/note-for-developers Also, if your configuration is proved to work on Pharo 3, 4 or 5, please copy your configuration into that repository, to avoid it to appear under âUnstableâ tag. The Catalog is just as good as the information it provides: there is A LOT of very good packages no one will ever notice (like Aconcagua, for example), that does not provide *any* information and therefore they will never be used :( PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CONFIGURATIONS! cheers, Esteban
