ZeroMQ are just bindings that I can easily rewrite. Good to know that you can easily rewrite the bindings. In this case I suggest you load the ZeroMQ [1] into the last Pharo version which supports both variants. Good to have several Pharo installations available for such purposes. They normally 'live' in a subdirectory. Fix it the Pharo version which easily supports it and save the mcz file. Then load it into Pharo 6. And learn how to submit it to the Pharo 6.0 catalog repository. The whole process is not a big deal. Your contribution to upgrade the library is welcome! Regards Hannes [1] http://zeromq.org/

How do I get a list of all packages in the catalog with a 6.0 tag?

Hello On 8/17/17, bdurin <bruno.durin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Maybe something like having the list of all packages and their version > included in a given image version on https://pharo.org could be useful. What is the code snippet to get a list of all packages with a '6.0' tag and their description? The spotter brings up the Catalog Browser but how do I get 'behind the scenes'? In Squeak I would just bring up the halo menu, then open an inspector on the Catalog Browser window and see what model is attached. How do I do this in Pharo these days? Thank you for the answer in advance --Hannes

Where is the installation log? Installing FileMan into Pharo 6.0-60510, which is 6.1.

by H. Hirzel

Hello I wanted to install the FileMan package through the catalog into Pharo 6.0-60510 (a.k.a 6.1). FileMan is library used by Cuis Smalltalk and also available for other Smalltalk dialects - http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6333. There is a FileMan entry in the catalog, but no description and 6.0 compatibility tag. So I tried that installation. For two seconds then there was a note at the lower left corner of the screen that there was an installation problem. I wonder where I do find the installation log? This is necessary in such cases in order to spot the problem. However in this case the solution was to go for the README of https://github.com/mumez/FileMan It has Gofer it url: 'http://squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFileMan'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFileMan) perform: #load. Then 13 out of 16 tests pass. Regards Hannes

Is not works for you? yes. But I think it gets more difficult in Pharo7? So being able to load old code to rewrite it would be nice. :) holger

Re: [Pharo-users] Loading and saving packages to filetree repos

by Luke Gorrie

I wish that somebody would take my original question at face value. It is frustrating to be told that I don't really understand the problem. I actually believe that the solution I am looking for is what I need in this project at this time. I don't want to write an essay-length justification for this position though.
