Mea Culpa
by horrido Aug. 14, 2016

Aug. 14, 2016

Okay, so far, I've made two mistakes. First was my lack of sensitivity to cultural differences around the world. Now that I know better, I shall do better. Second was my failure to distinguish between different subgroups within the Pharo forum. The reason I chose Pharo forum to discuss my campaign was the fact that it is the most active Smalltalk forum there is. People who are interested in Smalltalk join the most active forum generally, and this includes not only Pharoers, but people from ESUG, Squeak, Cincom, Amber, Redline, etc. So, for example, when I appealed for contributors to the Redline project, I should've distinguished the target audience as those groups other than Pharoers. This was my failure and I own up to it. It is unfortunate that I must use the Pharo forum for this purpose. The Smalltalk community is so terribly fragmented that there is no universal Smalltalk forum to address, at least, none that is actually *inhabited*. Without the ability to address the largest number of Smalltalkers, the SRP cannot make any progress. I'm sorry, but I have to be blunt. If anyone can offer a practical alternative, I'd like to hear it. Otherwise, the SRP has only two choices: 1) Continue what it is doing on the Pharo forum, and be mindful of which group(s) I am addressing. 2) Fold up the campaign and leave the destiny of Smalltalk to the Fates. Without the ability to reach out to Smalltalkers everywhere, I am hopelessly disadvantaged.

Messages interceptions without using "halt"
by Steven Costiou July 24, 2016

July 24, 2016

Hello, i am not new to Pharo nor to the list but this is the first time i speak here, so : hi =) I started a phd a few month ago (with Alain Plantec) on context oriented programming and dynamic programs adaptation. I am using Pharo for my experiments and i would like to intercept messages sent to an object just before they get to their receiver. To be more specific, when #msg is sent to an object o, i want to be able to intercept it just before it is actually executed with the following objects at my disposal : the receiver (o), the message or selector, the sender. My objective by doing that is to (try to) change the lookup for a given method, and to be able to choose in which class the lookup will start. I have been looking a bit and it does not seem to be a "simple" way to do that in Pharo. Is that even possible and if so, any advice on where i should look ? Thanks, Steven.

Seamless

1. What is the status of this project (http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/Seamless.html)? I see the last commit is in April. Does it "work"? 2. Can the communication be done securely? If I had two images each running on a server in a different physical location, could they communicate over something like SSL? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Seamless-tp4840907.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Create BaselineOf from ConfigurationOf
by Sean P. DeNigris May 1, 2016

May 1, 2016

I got tired of manually converting Configs into Baselines, so I wrote a little script. You pass it the selector of a #baselineXyz: method, and it converts it (i.e. changes the pragma, removes the blessing and repo, etc) Hopefully you will find it useful. Cross posting to Metcello list... ConfigurationOf>>#createBaselineFrom: selector | projectName baselineName baseline methodTree commonBlockBody repoSetter | "Create new class" projectName := self name allButFirst: self superclass name size. baselineName := 'BaselineOf', projectName. baseline := BaselineOf subclass: baselineName asSymbol instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' category: baselineName. "Convert baseline##: method" methodTree := (self methodNamed: selector) parseTree. methodTree selector: #baseline:. methodTree pragmas at: 1 put: (RBPragmaNode selector: #baseline arguments: #()). commonBlockBody := methodTree statements first arguments last body. repoSetter := commonBlockBody statements detect: [ :e | e selector = #repository: ]. commonBlockBody removeNode: repoSetter. "Compile baseline method" baseline compile: methodTree newSource classified: 'baseline' ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Create-BaselineOf-from-ConfigurationOf-tp4893076.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Pharo 3 / Pharo3 Dark Theme names
by Peter UhnÃ¡k May 1, 2016

May 1, 2016

Hi, is there some reason why the theme is called "Pharo 3" and "Pharo3 Dark"â¦ I mean we are about to start Pharo 6 so maybe it should just be "Pharo Dark" and "Pharo Light" (or "Pharo" or "Pharo Default" or whatever) Peter
