Thanks Pierce. So kind of work out of the box as long as the appropriate font is selected.

Yes I mean the Fossil SCM. I use it as a personal wiki and file repo. It comes with built-in ticketing system and forum, all wrapped into one executable file. Fossil also imports/exports Git repos. I'd use Fossil for small development teams too. Except for game development and other cases involving multi-GB repos with lots of binary blobs. > can you hook into it to save application runtime artefacts such that a > distributed application can read them back Fossil was designed as a standalone executable. It is difficult to "library-ify" and the developers have no plan to do so. But it is just a single executable, supports JSON output for some of its functions, and can be invoked via OSSubprocess and the like, conceptually similar to how Iceberg uses libgit2 to do Git stuff.

Fossil's traffic works through tunneling - this is how I 'fossil push' new blog posts from my laptop to my server through an SSH tunnel. I had also tested Fossil behind Internet-reachable Caddy HTTPS reverse proxy, which works too. For your use case, I might approach it like this: Write data locally and commit to Fossil as blobs. To sync, run Fossil under OSSubprocess to sync with the central server, either directly (if Fossil on central server is directly reachable) or thru a tunnel created by your application if your application runs on both ends. > I saw SQLite-sync before, but it is a commercial product, and its > platform support/setup seems convoluted. > > dqlite might be a viable alternative, from more than reliable > provider, it's is not clear whether I have to use a different library > to access SQLite (it seems so) or a special wire protocol/api calls. I was actually thinking of https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/ but did not remember the name when I replied originally. But it seems that, however you choose to sync, your application still needs to handle any data conflict that arises. Pierce

Re: [Pharo-users] Running pharo in daemon mode

PharoDebug.log or "ps ax | egrep readproctitle" should contain some clues. > VM="/home/bandtracker/pharoImages/pharo" > IMAGE="/home/bandtracker/pharoImages/Pharo.image" Looks like you put the VM and image/changes files in the same directory. Depending on how you set up, Pharo may need write-access to the image's containing directory, /home/bandtracker/pharoImages in your case. I suggest to put the VM files somewhere else, and owned by root:root. This greatly reduces the risk of bug or exploited vulnerability in your code or Pharo running as your uid overwriting the VM files. Pierce

Outside of Pharo, configure Windows multilingual input. Within Pharo, choose a font like Arial Unicode MS. Then just switch Windows input system using hot-key or mouse click, and type.

Pharo Object Serialization

by BrunoBB

Hi, Which are the options for serialize objects in Pharo ? I know there is Fuel (https://rmod.inria.fr/web/software/Fuel) OmniBase is not supported any more. OmniBase was pretty cool even transactional !!! What are you using ? (of course there is GemStone/S but i was not able to convince my client yet :) regards, bruno -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Embedding object properties in NeoJSON mappings

by Esteban Maringolo

Hi all (again), As part of writing the port (and adaptation to use Zinc and NeoJSON), a CouchDB JSON-REST API, now I find something I don't know how to solve using NeoJSON mappings. All objects you store in CouchDB at a particular URI are saved as "Documents", so if you save a dictionary with keys "name", "height", "c" to "/people/1234" , when you query "people/1234" you get the keys of the saved dictionary PLUS to extra keys called _id and _rev. Then when you query (GET) back the document you get a JSON like this: {"_id": ..., "_rev": ..., "name": ..., "height":...,} My Idea is that I can wrap any object serializable as JSON within aDocument, but then if I define CouchDocument class>>#neoJsonMapping: mapper as: mapper for: self do: [ :mapping | mapping mapAccessor: #id to: '_id'. mapping mapAccessor: #revision to: '_rev'. mapping mapAccessor: #class to: '_class' ]. I have no way to "flatten"/"merge" anObject within aDocument. I would expect something like mapper for: self do: [ :mapping | mapping mapAccessor: #id to: '_id'. mapping mapAccessor: #revision to: '_rev'. mapping mapAccessor: #class to: '_class' mapping embed: [:object | object whatToEmbed] ]. Of course this is awkward, because if I need to read it back, the "extraction" of the embeded properties needs to know which belongs to which and more importantly , what to instantiate! Of course I can do it manually without using NeoJSON (It's already being done [1]) , but I like when different libraries things fit naturally together :) Am I stretching it too much? :) Regards, [1] Currently the writing is done manually and the refresh (which is also a GET) does the following: CouchDocument>>#refresh " Update this Document to the latest revision " | response | response := self information. "response is a Dictionary" revision := response at: '_rev'. object := response couchToObject. ^response And here happens the magic, it searchs for a "_class" key which if present will use to instantiate the object "wrapped" by the document. Dictionary>>couchToObject | class object | self removeKey: '_id' ifAbsent: []. self removeKey: '_rev' ifAbsent: []. self keysAndValuesDo: [:key :value | self at: key put: value couchToObject]. class := (self at: '_class' ifAbsent: [^self]) asSymbol asClass. object := class basicNew. object jsonInstanceVariableNames keysAndValuesDo: [:index :key | self at: key ifPresent: [:value | object instVarAt: index put: value]]. ^object #jsonInstanceVariableNames is another level of "mapping" here, that defined what to map from the Document response.
