Re: Why does Iceberg duplicate my Project when loading a baseline?

by Esteban Lorenzano

This is likely you are using two different URLs to clone the project (maybe from a fork?). Name is not a key, clone URL is... so, iceberg cannot know you are cloning same project?

Re: Why does Iceberg duplicate my Project when loading a baseline?

by Sanjay Minni

My take is that a focus is needed on Iceberg after Pharo projects moving to Github (from smalltalkhub), I find iceberg has become more required but somehow I dont get the confidence. It does funny things. Even mapping a newly created project to a Github repository is vert kludgy but this is my feeling On Thu, 28 Jan 2021 at 04:24, Tim Mackinnon <tim(a)testit.works> wrote: > Thanks Sanjay - Iâve added my example to your issue too - I think I saw > this months ago too, but didnât realise it was a common thing. > > On 27 Jan 2021, at 03:37, Sanjay Minni <sm(a)planage.com> wrote: > > it has been happening, I have raised an issue in > https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/issues/1404 > > On Wed, 27 Jan 2021 at 04:30, Tim Mackinnon <tim(a)testit.works> wrote: > >> Hi guys - its been a while since Iâve had chance to code in Pharo - but I >> found a moment to pick up an old project - but when I load it into a fresh >> P8 image using a baseline - it seems to duplicate my project in iceberg? >> Whats up with that - is this a regression, or is it something abnormal >> about my project? >> >> <PastedGraphic-1.png> >> > > > -- > --- > Sanjay Minni > +91-9900-902902 > > > -- Sanjay Minni +91-9900-902902

Thanks Sanjay - Iâve added my example to your issue too - I think I saw this months ago too, but didnât realise it was a common thing. > On 27 Jan 2021, at 03:37, Sanjay Minni <sm(a)planage.com> wrote: > > it has been happening, I have raised an issue in https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/issues/1404 <https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/issues/1404> > On Wed, 27 Jan 2021 at 04:30, Tim Mackinnon <tim(a)testit.works> wrote: > Hi guys - its been a while since Iâve had chance to code in Pharo - but I found a moment to pick up an old project - but when I load it into a fresh P8 image using a baseline - it seems to duplicate my project in iceberg?

Re: Is there a way to load a dependent repository of assets that doesn't have a baseline - in my Metacello baseline?

by Tim Mackinnon

Hi Hernan - that is close to what I want, and looks useful for something else I need to do - but in this case I literally just wanted to download a git repo dependency (not a zip) like already happens with metacello - but because it doesnât have a baseline class in the repo (in fact its just js files), I donât want metacello to try and interpret it - just continue. I think there might be a simple way to convince metcello to do this - if not, then maybe your example might give me the basics to build something custom. Thanks for piping up.

Is there a way to do this in Metacello - I have a baseline dependencies like the following - and its the last line that fails as it not really a repo with a baseline in it - so Metacello signals an error - but Iâm wondering if there is something I can do to just load that repo without considering it as a baseline - Iâm after something like: > > spec resources: 'CP-ClientEnvironment' with: [ spec > repository: 'github://ErikOnBike/CP-ClientEnvironment' ]. > > > This is what I have to give an idea - possibly I could catch the exception and resume - or is there some cunning way (maybe even a post load script or something)? > > setUpDependencies: spec > > spec > baseline: 'ZincHTTPComponents' with: [ spec > repository: 'github://svenvc/zinc'; > loads: #('Core' 'WebSocket') ]. > > spec > baseline: 'CodeParadise' with: [ spec > repository: 'github://ErikOnBike/CodeParadise/repository' ]. > > spec > baseline: 'CP-ClientEnvironment' with: [ spec > repository: 'github://ErikOnBike/CP-ClientEnvironment' ]. > > > > > Tim >

Error message when open a fresh Pharo 9 fresh image

by Sebastian Jordan

Each time that I download a fresh Pharo 9 image and open it this error message appears: "The current VM does not support TFFI Callbacks. It will use old implementations." I am using Windows 10 and have just updated the VMs using the Pharo launcher.

Project Ideas for Google Summer of Code 2021

by Oleksandr Zaitsev

Hello, Google Summer of Code (GSoC) <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/> is happening again and this year there are some changes to the program organization. Most importantly: 1. GSoC this year will be two times shorter (175 working hours instead of 350 and 10 weeks of coding instead of full three months) 2. There will be 2 evaluations instead of 3 3. Student stipends are cut in half 4. Mentor stipends are reduced from $500 to $400 5. Students who are not enrolled in accredited programs can now apply, which means that there can be more applicants We are preparing an application from Pharo Consortium and we need your help with the list of project ideas. If you have a project that you would like to mentor or co-mentor, please add your idea to the list in the following template on github: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-project-proposals/blob/master/Topics…, and send a pull request. Please check the guide <https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list> to find the hints on how to propose a good GSoC project. For more information on what are the responsibilities of GSoC mentors, please consult the Mentor Guide <https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/>. And if you have any questions, we are always happy to answer them. With all the best wishes, GSoC Program Organizers from Pharo Consortium Oleksandr Zaitsev <olk.zaytsev(a)gmail.com> Juan Pablo Sandoval <juampiboy(a)gmail.com> Serge Stinckwich <serge.stinckwich(a)gmail.com>

Re: Is there a file selector in Pharo

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi David, glad we were able to help. Traffic here on mailinglist is low - mostly Pharo and Smalltalk people hang out on Pharo Discord these days - as it is more easy and faster to respond or ask for more details. Invitation link to Discord is here: https://discord.gg/QewZMZa Â The link can also be found on the Pharo homepage on "Community". Discord allows to freely chat but even to have live audio chat or screen sharing sessions. There are specific channels different topics like Spec2 (UI), Iceberg, Database, ... and many more. There are also Discord servers for Squeak, Squeak Reunion, Dolphin Smalltalk and other where Smalltalkers are online these days. Due to Corona there are also online virtual events - for instance today UK Smalltalk user group will have again their regulary online Zoom meeting where anyone can freely join: https://www.meetup.com/de-DE/UKSTUG/ I'm sure you will find one or the other known from ST Solution days or other events in these new online formats. You will find me as "astares" on Discord and Twitter https://twitter.com/TorstenAstares Noury and many others are there too. Thanks Torsten David wrote: Both of those were very helpful .
