Re: [Pharo-users] GemStone/S on Docker?

Iâve copied this to the GemStone list to continue the discussion. > I wouldn't. The excellent work of Norbert was later inspired/continuated/extended officially by GemStone under a much bigger project called GsDevKit [1] > > [1] https://github.com/GsDevKit/GsDevKit_home <https://github.com/GsDevKit/GsDevKit_home> +1 GsDevKit - itâs excellent for use in both development and deployment. Thereâs also an ansible project [1] which may offer some guidance. If you were planning to build containers for GemStone, there are a bunch of possible roles a single host might play in larger systems, but as a minimum: 1. Stone - where the repository (image) is physically managed. Typically only one per deployment (or more for warm failover) 2. Gem - where the VMâs run your application or services. Instances scale with your application. 3. Shared Page Cache - essentially shared memory access to the image that can be deployed in many ways to turn your applications. Thereâs a rundown on connecting distributed systems in the GS System Admin Guide [2]. There are likely many other roles right down to transaction logs and repository extents (the physical files on disc where your image is persisted), it just depends on how far you want to go with the flexibility of the docker containers. This said, GsDevKit will setup the above three roles on a single host which will suit development and deployment of any small application.

Re: [Pharo-users] Frozen at start up

by Hilaire

Thanks I will dig on that direction. By the way, DrGeo code at SH is obsolete. Pharo7 port is at http://dev.drgeo.eu, more precisely https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~drgeo-developers/drgeo/trunk/files/head:/src/ I should update the information page.

Re: [Pharo-users] Frozen at start up

Hi Hilaire, I have seen the same problem when trying to reproduce the error with FreeTypeFonts. I can see that the problem arise because there is a startUp of a class that is calling the #splash method. This method uses Delay. As this is run during the startup of the classes, it runs with the higher priority. Taking precedence over the Delay scheduling process. In Pharo 7 the startup of the session runs in higher priority so it cannot be interrupted. This is done in that way to fix some problems during the initialization of the session (Now, I could not remember what was fixed). I believe this actions should be executed as a deferred action. Also I have found a problem with the requirement of the UIThemeWatery class, I have fixed it extending UITheme with a new subclass (same behavior) so the code can be loaded. If you want I can help you to port DrGeo to Pharo7.

Frozen at start up

by Hilaire

Hi, I have this strange situation with a DrGeo built against P7, where DrGeo starts, but then get frozen with this message. Strangely the start seems not to have completed as the UI messages are not localized in French. What is strange, on my PC where I built the app, this problem does not occur. Any idea? Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu

Re: [Pharo-users] FreeFontProvider unload [was] Re: Black screen on Mac OSX

by Hilaire

Hi Pablo, DrGeo is shipped with two fonts, depending on the system locale at DrGeo start up, one or another one is used. So the cache need to be reset at. May be there is better to handle that, it worked pretty well until now.
