UDBC ODBC
by TomaÅ¾ Turk March 21, 2019

March 21, 2019

Hi everybody, I loaded the package https://github.com/astares/Pharo-UDBC and am looking for some guidelines how to use it to access ODBC data sources, if this functionality is already available. Can it be used together with Glorp? I searched for the info on all the sites and Pharo books that I know of, and googling doesn't help either - or maybe I'm too clumsy. I appreciate any help. Tomaz

[Issue Trackker][Help Needed]: Move issues from Fogbugz to GitHub
by Marcus Denker March 19, 2019

March 19, 2019

Hi, We should all look at the old issues: https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/filters/57/All-newest-first <https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/filters/57/All-newest-first> and move them to the new one: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues instead of moving them automatically, we should take the chance to clean up. Please check, first for the issues that *you* added: -> is it still relevant? ->if yes: add a new issue on GitHub ->close this issue, there is now an explicit âmoved to GitHubâ state. Marcus

What is "blab email" setting
by Tim Mackinnon March 19, 2019

March 19, 2019

I noticed in the settings dialog - there is an option for âblabâ email in network settings. What is blab email? As a sub note - the descriptions in many of the settings are really sparse (others are excellent - so its not all bad) Tim

Method source contains linefeeds?
by Tim Mackinnon March 19, 2019

March 19, 2019

I keep seeing a code critic complaint that method source contains linefeeds. Why do we care about this? But also, where do they come from - I seem to have methods that are fine, and then when typing or reformatting code it will suddenly complain about them - but I havenât obviously added any (e.g. not copying code from somewhere else).

Why doesn't collection have #excludes (the mirror of includes)?
by Tim Mackinnon March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

Hi - in my quest to understand the edgier details of Pharo (and Smalltalk) - and driven by fresh thoughts of completing exercism exercises - I was surprised to find that there is no #excludes: operation on collection to mirror the #includes: operation? I was curious about this - its seems a strange omission? Of course I can inverse it with not, or do things a different way - but we have ifTrue: mirrored with ifFalse, empty/notEmpty so am I missing something? I wanted to write something like aString detect: [:c | ($0 to: $1) excludes: c] ifFound: aBlock. (Evaluate a block if the string isnât all 0 and 1âs) Of course I can write this as: (aString reject: [:c | c = $0 | c = $1)) ifNotEmpty: aBlock But as recent messages in this vein have shown me (and taught me lots - thanks to those answering), the answer is often not what I thought.

Pharo refactoring rewrite tool?
by Tim Mackinnon March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

I recall there was a refactoring rewrite tool - but where is it in Pharo? Is it something you have to load separately? Or do you just copy some of the deprecated examples and do it manually? I thought there was something with a window where you typed in a rule and then it showed you what it would do? (Or was that only in Dolphin?) Thanks, Tim

ARM vm limitations ?
by Albrecht Baur March 18, 2019

March 18, 2019

Hi, I'd like to play around with pharo on ARM devices (like a HummingBoard, the ones from ODROID or one of the beagleboards). But I am not sure if I have to take care of the ARM architecture version (ARMv6 / ARMv7 / ARMv8) when choosing my toy. I found this vm: http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo-spur32/linux/armv6/ Is it only for armv6 like the folder name says or is ARMv7 and ARMv8 working too? Are there any limitations I should know before choosing a ARM device? Is there a vm for 64bit (aarch64)? Thanks! Albrecht
