Glorp v130 call for testing
by Alistair Grant Dec. 3, 2017

Dec. 3, 2017

Hi Everyone, I've merged the changes in: - Glorp-HerbyVojcik.127 and - Glorp-AlistairGrant.129 into Glorp-AlistairGrant.130 127 and 129 were both based on 126, but had diverged. This brings them back together. The new version can be loaded using #development, e.g.: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'DBXTalk' project: 'Glorp'; configuration; load. (#ConfigurationOfGlorp asClass project version: #development) load. If you are using Glorp, I'd appreciate it if you could test this and let me know if there are any problems. Herby? :-) Thanks, Alistair

How do you store and manage small programs?
by Andy Burnett Dec. 2, 2017

Dec. 2, 2017

I have just created a couple of small playground scripts that do some useful data wrangling. The chances are that I will reuse them from time to time, but with tweaks. Does version 6 Have some way to store them? I think I am after a sort of scripts catalogue.

[ANN] files.pharo.org server move tomorrow, Nov 30
by Marcus Denker Dec. 1, 2017

Dec. 1, 2017

Hi, We will do the switch to the new server tomorrow, Nov 30. -> for people downloading, there should be no service intererruption -> For *uploaders* (mostly CI jobs), you need new SSH credentials. This means some upload jobs might break, but they will be easy to fix -> Uploading humans (people that scp to files.pharo.org <http://files.pharo.org/>): Talk to Christoph or me. Marcus

The Advent Of Code 2017
by Julien Nov. 30, 2017

Nov. 30, 2017

Hello, Tomorrow starts the Advent Of Code 2017 [1] which consists in 2x programming puzzles per day from the 1st December to the 25th. I created a GitHub repository [2] to collect code snippets around the solutions of the Pharo community (more details in the README). I think these programming puzzles are good to: * Promote Pharo by showing solutions collected in the GitHub repository via your pull requests * Show how cool is the Pharoâs Collection API (last year most of the puzzles required heavy usage of data-structures) * Get a feedback of what could be enhanced in Pharo packages (e.g. if when you solve a puzzle you feel like a message is missing in a class or a message has a bad name which makes finding it difficult, it could be discussed and a case on fog buzz could be opened to solve this during a sprint). To participate, you just need to follow the READMEâs instructions (which basically says that you have to fork the repository, create a directory to store your solutions and create pull requests each time you solved a puzzle). There is a specific channel on the discord [3] that has been created to chat around these puzzles and their solutions. I hope to see a lot of people playing with us at solving these puzzles. :-) Cheers, Julien Links: [1]: http://adventofcode.com <http://adventofcode.com/> [2]: https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo <https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo> [3]: https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH <https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH> PS: There is no obligation to solve 2 puzzles per day. I know everyone is busy doing its work but please if you solve these puzzles using Pharo, propose pull requests! :-) --- Julien Delplanque Doctorant Ã lâUniversitÃ© de Lille 1 http://juliendelplanque.be/phd.html Equipe Rmod, Inria BÃ¢timent B 40, avenue Halley 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq NumÃ©ro de tÃ©lÃ©phone: +333 59 35 86 40

ZIPArchive usage + FileSystem memory
by Juraj Kubelka Nov. 30, 2017

Nov. 30, 2017

Hi, I can successfully use ZipArchive like the following -=-=- zip := ZipArchive new. { 'file1.txt'. 'file2.txt'. 'file3.txt' } do: [ :eachFile | | member | member := zip addString: eachFile, ' contents' as: eachFile. member desiredCompressionMethod: ZipArchive compressionDeflated ]. file := FileLocator temp / 'archive.zip'. zip writeTo: file writeStream. file. -=-=- What I should do to make it work while using FileSystem memory? -=-=- zip := ZipArchive new. { 'file1.txt'. 'file2.txt'. 'file3.txt' } do: [ :eachFile | | member | member := zip addString: eachFile, ' contents' as: eachFile. member desiredCompressionMethod: ZipArchive compressionDeflated ]. fileSystem := FileSystem memory. file := fileSystem root / 'archive.zip'. file writeStreamDo: [ :stream | zip writeTo: stream ]. -=-=- There is "Improper store into indexable objectâ as it tries to store a number in ByteString. Thanks! Juraj

Unable to update Glamour-Core
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Hi, My image become unresponsive while making some debug, so I decided to start fresh and reinstall Grafoscopio, but I have some problems, with XML parser (so I disabled Soup temporarily) and with Glamour-Core, which provides and important part of the Grafoscopio experience. I tried also to install it from Monticello, without better results (to the version Glamour-Core-TudorGirba339). In both cases I get "SubscriptOutOfBounds: 17808" and this is the trace I get with the "Report" button (sorry I don't know other way to report): https://pastebin.com/wWM24w01 I will try with Pharo 7... The procedure is the same that was working just last week. I know the pains and advantages of having a dynamic system that is evolving quickly... hopefully a more stable platform will be there while the upcoming one is evolving. Cheers, Offray
