GitFileTree Version Numbering

by Sean P. DeNigris

When copying MyPackage-Author-VersionNumber.mcz to an empty GitFileTree repository, VersionNumber is not considered, and it appears in the version browser as MyPackage-Author-1, which seems confusing. Could it keep the same VersionNumber? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/GitFileTree-Version-Numbering-tp4810543.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pillar multiline comment

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Sure I can make a shortcut but I don't like that if there is already something. So my question is why can't I do {{{comment: my multiline comment }}} We already have the syntax, and we already have conditional rendering; so comment is just something that doesn't end up in any of the output formats.

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo / J - Integration

by kilon alios

yeap the more the merrier. There is also JNIPort for Java. I really like this approach because he is using a dll. I am using sockets for python which is much slower. But I was thinking porting to this approach too. He basically created a dll (Jinter.dll) that calls the J language and then Pharo using Nativeboost loads that dll. Jinter.c is also nicely commented and well written code. So this will be a good example for using it for Python. Actually I was thinking that is possible to define a common interface/ protocol for communicating with other languages using this way. The only tricky part is converting between types of language X and pharo objects. Its fairly easy though. This way we can make pharo use any kind of language and most importantly any library for any language out there. Sky is the limit :) This is a fun way to sneak pharo inside any kind of project.

Hi Martin! I did not know J at all. How can I try your code? You are invoking functions using NativeBoost of the J library?

Re: [Pharo-users] GitHub Mirror Workflow

by Sean P. DeNigris

stepharo wrote > be able to publish in parallel from Smalltalkhub and github Cool :) I've been thinking... FileTree's method-resolution may be The Right Thing To Do when using git for SCM (I know we've debated before). But... for the "Mirror on Github" use case, I wonder if less granularity wouldn't clearly be more appropriate. I read about using chunk format (not ideal, but perhaps a bit more readable on the mirror) via Gitocello, but loading in Pharo 4.0 broke on the FFI dependency. Any thoughts/suggestions? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/GitHub-Mirror-Workflow-tp4810339p4810452.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
