It is not the first problem feedback I heard on ToC menu, maybe the generation of ToC is corrupt. I will have a look at this one.

I sent the epub to my Kindle (converted to mobi by Calibre). The content is well formatted and everything looks fine, even code snippets (although the font is too large, larger than the paragraph character). The only thing that is wrong is the table of contents, with over 200 pages (and > 4000 "positions") the TOC seems to be missing most of the sections of the whole book. And without a proper TOC using a book like this on an e-ink reader like Kindle it is very difficult to "jump" between sections. Regards! Esteban A.

I think you should, try with the Calibre eBook manager/reader, or the Kindle app in your phone/tablet. Esteban A. Maringolo

hi, i try to open the file with fbreader on debian wheezy, and the file seems to be empty or corrupted (i see some parts of it). it is not clear what's going on, also it is the first time that i open this class of file. i hope this helps. should i try a different epub reader? thanks On Mon, May 30, 2016 at 11:44 AM, Thibault ARLOING < thibault.arloing(a)hotmail.fr> wrote: > Hi, > > I created an ePub version of the book Enterprise Pharo for electronic > readers. > It would be great if you could test it and give me feedbacks on everything > that shocks you. > > You can downlod the file here > <http://files.pharo.org/books-ressources/entreprise-pharo/>. > > Thanks, > Thibault > -- Bernardo E.C.

Re: [Pharo-users] Create PNG (from pdf?)

In our editorial system we use ImageMagick for this task. I guess you have this option on your list. If not, have a look at <http://imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?t=19432>. I only can state, ImageMagick is doing this job reliable at over 1000 clients.

Re: [Pharo-users] Is lazy evaluation of infinite series possible?

by Erisa

The fibonacciSequence example was really helpful. I made a new class PowerSeries, a subclass of Generator. Then I defined a binary operation + as follows: + aPowerSeries ^ PowerSeries on: [ :ps | | a b | [ a := self next. b := aPowerSeries next. ps yield: (a + b) ] repeat ] This works perfectly. But now I am struggling with how to define multiplication. When I do PS1 * PS2, the first yield should be a := PS1 next. b := PS2 next. ps yield (a * b). Thereafter would come the PowerSeries, call it PSNew, (PS2 .* a) + (PS1 * PS2'), where .* is scalar multiplication (easy to implement) and PS2' is the original PS2 (i.e., rewound 1). I see several problems here. It looks like I need a way to clone (fork?) a PowerSeries since in this computation I need both the current PS2 and the original PS2 and be able to operate with them independently. Second, how do I define the generator so that it first yields the scalar (a*b) and thereafter is represented by the PowerSeries PSNew? Finally, will the recursion in the definition of * blow up rapidly? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Is-lazy-evaluation-of-infinite-series-possible-tp4897… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-users] What should I name my nested packages?

by Peter Uhnak

Hi, are you referring to tags? If you right-click a package, you see options such as "Add tag...", "Promote as package", "Demote to package with tag".

What should I name my nested packages?

by Evan Donahue

Hello, Just a quick question as I work on refactoring and cleaning up a project I've been working on. I notice that packages like Fuel appear in nice, nested hierarchies in my code browser, with 'Core' nested under 'Fuel' even though 'Core's package name is actually Fuel-Core. I'm wondering what I have to do to get my own packages to nest similarly in the code browser beyond just naming them accordingly. Thank you, Evan

Re: [Pharo-users] [ANN] New Pharo Glorp version and Book chapter

I don't know, I could collect them from the Cincom Repository, I just took a look and there are over 100 commits of the Glorp bundle between 2012 and 2015. I'll perform a few queries, in Glorp, to retrieve them and summarize it wherever possible. I can easily recall changes in the Query API and features like supporting SQL's IN operator, as well as others, and support for newer versions of the platforms. One important step, is that we know which version we forked from, in the past in the Glorp mailing list happened many times they told me "use this or that" and it wasn't supported, and we didn't know how to compare feature support. Glorp lacks a good versioning strategy and just follows VW release numbers, for Pharo I decided this port will be 2.0 and use semantic versioning for future releases. > -------- Original Message -------- >> >> Thanks all.

Pharo 4 is out of the question because it uses the old FFI. PostgreSQL and MySQL are native, so they weren't affected by FFI. But for the latest version the Garage SQLite3 driver passes its own tests (Garage ones), but when the Glorp Test suite is run with it as its driver, lots of tests fail, related with basic things of SQLite, not Glorp. I raised this concern at the beginning of this month in the #databases channel in Slack. I was delaying the release because of SQLite3 support, but couldn't wait more. However Pierce Ng (maintainer of the SQLite3 FFI driver) is working on it, but not as part of Garage AFAIU. >> Also, I copied the latest commit from the SmalltalkHub repo to GitHub >> in order to use its issue tracker [3] for bug reporting. > > Nice! > Soon we will have git support by default in Pharo :) I heard about it, I look forward to see it in action :) Regards!
