Pharo.exe and PharoConsole.exe VM Difference

by Esteban Maringolo

Hi, What is the difference between the Pharo.exe and PharoConsole.exe? They have the same size, but are binary different. I'd expect the PharoConsole to run headless by default, but it is not the case. So... is this documented anywhere? Thanks! Esteban A. Maringolo

Smalltalkhub is now in archive mode (static version)

by Christophe Demarey

Hi all, Since May, Smalltalk is in read-only mode, allowing people to get back their data and move it to another forge if needed. We had several unexpected downtimes with the deprecated version of Smalltalkub (different software stack due to server migration). To enhance the user experience, we put the static version of Smalltalkhub Â« SmalltalkHub archive Â» on-line as the official http://smalltalkhub.com service. It was already announced that it will be done in November but we decided to do it earlier because it improves the current state: - faster and reliable downloads from smalltalkhub.com (mcz files are no longer stored in a Mongo DB but served as static files) - Smalltalkhub archive still allows to list projects, search for a project, see packages, contributors, commits - deprecated version of smalltalkhub is still on-line until November at http://deprecated.smalltalkhub.com/. So you have the best of the 2 versions. Regards, The Pharo consortium team.

An alternative is to take a clean image, update the baseline by hand, and load it if you don't want to commit. I always use a clean image to be really sure nothing will impact. -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr

Checking baseline before publishing

by Esteban Maringolo

Hi, How can I check that my baseline works without having to publish everything, check that it fails and then going to the origin, fixing, etc? I might be particularly idiot to always miss something, I usually have to try at least four times (in a blank image) that my Baseline, dependencies, etc. works as expected. There must be some other way. Esteban A. Maringolo

Re: Image crashed, how can I restore the Playground?

by Davide Varvello

Thanks StÃ©ph, I guess the right directory is {imageDirectory}/pharo-local/play-cache/ there are some .ph files representing several playgrounds. One further question: it seems to me there isn't a history of the playground, right? So if I make multiple changes to a single playground, they are lost.

Also on the upper right corner of the playground, you can get old playground (maybe on command+s? not sure). Not every one of them will be here, and you may have to use Stephane's answer. Pierre.

[ANN] JRMPC 2021 in Jeopardy

by Richard Kenneth Eng

JRMPC 2021 <https://jrmpc2021.wordpress.com/> is about to commence registration in less than two weeks. Unfortunately, disaster has struck. Ryerson University's developer for the competition software has pulled out of the project at the last minute, so they are stuck. I am looking for a replacement on behalf of Ryerson, someone who can develop the competition software and meet the February deadline when the actual competition starts. That gives the person five months. The original developer had this idea <https://jrmpc2021.wordpress.com/2020/07/08/example-post/> for the competition format. His replacement may choose to run with this idea, or come up with an entirely new idea. The key objectives are: 1. the contestant submits his Pharo code solution (perhaps as a FileOut?) 2. the code is executed to arrive at a score 3. the highest score wins the competition 4. the competition runs should be automated (manual runs for up to 250 contestants would be painful) As an incentive, I am offering a CAN$1,000 bonus for anyone who steps up. I know it's not a huge incentive but it shows how desperate we are. Meanwhile, we are exploring other options, but they are few. Please reply to this email, as I don't get notifications from the mailing list. Thanks, Richard
