by Sebastian Heidbrink

Hi Smalltalk enthusiasts! Since Tim and I were already asked for a second CampSmalltalk this spring we decided hold another camp in Nanaimo at the end of April. Last Camp in Nanaimo was amazingly successful and everyone had much fun. If youâre in the general pacific north-west region do consider coming along. When: Friday & Saturday April 25-26th Location: Makerspace Nanaimo 2221 McGarrigle Rd Nanaimo their website: makerspacenanaimo.org Schedule/Presentations: Non! We have the Space all weekend long and do not need to leave the place this time! If you are interested in ... any kind of ScratchOnPI projects ... combining your Smalltalk project with any other peripheral device ... would like to try a different Smalltalk out ... just want to chat and meet old and new friends ....then this should be the perfect weekend to do this and come over to Makerspace in Nanaimo. Please contact us directly if you have questions regarding travel or accomodationa. We got some valuable feedback from last CampSmalltalk's participants. Please let us also know if youâre interested. Tim and Sebastian

The code to do that is in gitfiletree in fact ;) There is also a filesystem-like layer for archives somewhere inside Pharo, but, I do believe it doesn't work (I'm sure I tried it... and if I'm not using it, there is a good reason).

Re: [Pharo-users] Porting Voss to Pharo

by Laura Risani

VOSS seems quite an interesting and useful technology. Is know for sure that it could be ported without disturbing Pharo opensourceness / freeness? Is anyone doing work to port it?

Re: [Pharo-users] Gitfiletree unstable on Windows

by Thierry Goubier

Hi Jan, there is a chance the problem is in the interface GitFileTree uses to call git on windows.

This way it loads, but unfortunately VM crashes anyway.

Re: [Pharo-users] what to use for simple parsing

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Thanks all, in the end I've used PetitParser and I was really surprised and happy how easy and far I've got with it. TBH using regular expressions in Pharo feels extremely uncomfortable to me compared to Perl or Ruby, but maybe that was design decision by the author to not be too hacky. So at least to me PetitParser feels like a more practical regex library than Regex itself.

Hey Jan Try this: " Metacello new baseline: 'FileTree'; repository: 'filetree:///C:/Users/User/Pharo/....../dalehenrich-filetree-7f998e5/repository'; load: 'Git' " Put in the path to the repository folder. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Gitfiletree-unstable-on-Windows-tp4816354p4816378.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
