Sorry, this does not work for me .... this is the first thing I tried and of course I looked very carefully to ensure that the packages were gone and the repository was not referenced anywhere... I spent a fair amount of time reading the git filetree code to try to understand who is creating the monticello.meta directory and reading all of your code, I could not find any obvious culprits.... so I don't think that your code is directly responsible for the creation of the metadata dir... However, I just sprayed a bunch of self halts into the code in an attempt to find out who might be causing the directory to be created and I tripped across MCLazyVersionInfo who I think is the culprit for the "scanning the entire known universe" and _might_ be the culprit for "lazily" creating the "missing" monticello.meta directory - I haven't gotten that far yet. With regards to "scanning the entire known universe". It looks like any sender of #ancestors (which is not an unusual thing during save --- my current case or diff another case where I've seen the full scan) to an instance MCLazyVersionInfo can end up doing following: MCRepositoryGroup default in: [ :r | r versionWithInfo: self ifNone: [ ] ] which literally scans the entire repository universe ... This is part of the method #loadAncestorsAndStepChildren which is documented to: "This code scans all the repositories to find the exact package version and reload the relevant info." In my image I have 475 instances of MCLazyVersionInfo and 481 instances of MCWorkingCopy (without knowing for certain, I'll speculate that the 6 working copies without MCLazyVersionInfo are the 6 packages that are instances of MCGitFileTreeVersionInfo a subclass of MCLazyVersionInfo) ... The MCLazyVersionInfo caches the result of the full universe scan in a WeakArray ... so if there's an intervening gc (or two) between the time that one saves a package, the full repository scan will be re-run again ... and again ... and again .. So I think I now understand why I see so many scans of the pharo inbox and presumably all of the repos almost every time I save a package ... not very friendly... This scan was triggered when I tried to save one of the packages that I had just loaded and in this case the MCGitFileTreeVersionInfo triggered a scan because the repo instance variable was nil ... perhaps this is the difference between your run and mine ... in my case the repo was not set correctly and in your case it was? Hopefully someone will do something about this "lazy version info problem" personally I would gladly trade off some memory and disk consumption to avoid having to wait for the entire repository universe to be scanned every time I save a package ...perhaps there is a setting somewhere? I will continue trying to work through meta data directory creation problem and see if I can pinpoint the metadata dir creation culprit ... right now I know that the packages are loaded without creating the directory ...

Re: [Pharo-users] Issue with NeoCSVReader

Hi Alexandre, I do not have access to a pharo image right now. But I had a look into your csv file. There are rows that do not include any or to few data. I think NeoCSVReader can not handle that and expects a "proper" file I will check tonight, in case nobody else comes up with additional information by then.

Re: [Pharo-users] How do I convert a FileTree project to Metadataless GitFileTree project?

by Thierry Goubier

Dale, I'm sure it is possible. Wait, wait! If you have in your .filetree "Metadata" : "false" then this is fine and it has switched to the metadata-less mode. To see the changes on disk, you need to save a new version of your packages, that should be all. I just tried and that works. 1- remove the GitFileTree repository from your image 2- write the property "Metadata" : "false" in the .filetree on disk 3- re-add the GitFileTree repository (local) 4- modify then save one of the repository packages 5- look on disk: no more monticello.meta/version! Note that I had no packages in the image linked to that repository at 1-, because I'm not sure the simple removal would have really removed the repository singleton object.

Thierry, In Pharo5.0 it seems that the Pharo inbox and several other repositories get scanned whenever I do a package diff or do a package save from the Monticello Browser ... a few weeks ago, you responded to someone elses complaint about this annoying behavior and at this point (after reading through a bunch of code trying to get some understanding about why metadataless Git Filetree is not working for me) I believe that you were claiming responsibility for a problem that is not yours ... It is true that on every save, you do a refresh for the GitFileTree and it is true that this is slightly annoying (but understandable), but the truth is that I am seeing this annoying inbox and friends scanning when I don't have git file tree loaded in the image ... Soooo, my crack about "scanning the entire known universe" was aimed at the behavior I see without GitFileTree loaded in the image .... Dale

Re: [Pharo-users] How do I convert a FileTree project to Metadataless GitFileTree project?

by Dale Henrichs

Thierry, I don't think I can do it at all... I've deleted all of the packages, I've removed all traces of the repository and when I add the repository and inspect I get hasMetadata false... I then deleted the metadata directory from every package on disk and committed ... I then loaded the packages again from disk and made a change and when I commit the change version number increments and voila, I have a new monticello meta data directoy on disk free of charge ... and yes hasMetadata is still false ... I looked at the code and it seems that you are extracting the meta data from the git repo (once you have meta data you must have meta data forever?) It looks like it is not possible to switch to metadataless which is a shame ... all of the repos where I'd use this have monticello meta data in the history so you'll find it if you go looking for it:) additional comments in-lined below ...

We would need a specific API for that. At the moment what would work is to save the baselineOf with all the baseline packages as dependencies. Now, I'd like to be able to query the baseline to know which packages it describes, and save all of them in one go. Another possibility would be to add an option with a no-commit flag (write but do not commit, do not try to update the package version) and add a button to the window appearing after each written package version to do the commit, store temporarily all such "staged" packages info in the repository object, and provide a warning if one tries to resave a package before a commit... > Also I'm hoping that in metadataless mode I stop scanning the entire > known repository universe for package versions that will not be found > anywhere but in the repositories that I've explicitly associated with > the the package itself:) I don't think it happens there.
