How do you store and manage small programs?
by Andy Burnett Dec. 2, 2017

Dec. 2, 2017

I have just created a couple of small playground scripts that do some useful data wrangling. The chances are that I will reuse them from time to time, but with tweaks. Does version 6 Have some way to store them? I think I am after a sort of scripts catalogue.

Simplifying a File reference
by Prof. Andrew P. Black Dec. 2, 2017

Dec. 2, 2017

I have a file reference containing multiple occurrences of .., like this File @ /Users/black/graceProgs/lists/../../Development/mg/gracelang/albums_junk.grace How do I simplify this to show the simpler path without the .. ? There should be a method on FileReference, no? Something like #normalize ? Or maybe FileReference should do this automatically when it is created? Andrew

Newsletter content / editors wanted
by Marcus Denker Dec. 1, 2017

Dec. 1, 2017

Hi, You might know that we are sending out a monthly pharo newsletter, it contains larger âmini articlesâ (e.g. announcements) and small one-line notes for blog posts, new libraries, things like that. Here is the archive: https://us11.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=0486… <https://us11.campaign-archive.com/home/?u=6f667565c2569234585a7be77&id=0486…> Target audience are especially those who no follow the mailing list, but I think it is interesting even for us as it is easy to not see all the interesting news. If you have content: please send it to me, I collect things over a month and then we put the newletter together from that. This can be: - small (half page) articles abut *your* project! - an interesting library you found - a blog post you have written (or read) People can even take over for a complete month and do e.g. a themed newsletter focusing on one aspect or project.

The Advent Of Code 2017
by Julien Nov. 30, 2017

Nov. 30, 2017

Hello, Tomorrow starts the Advent Of Code 2017 [1] which consists in 2x programming puzzles per day from the 1st December to the 25th. I created a GitHub repository [2] to collect code snippets around the solutions of the Pharo community (more details in the README). I think these programming puzzles are good to: * Promote Pharo by showing solutions collected in the GitHub repository via your pull requests * Show how cool is the Pharoâs Collection API (last year most of the puzzles required heavy usage of data-structures) * Get a feedback of what could be enhanced in Pharo packages (e.g. if when you solve a puzzle you feel like a message is missing in a class or a message has a bad name which makes finding it difficult, it could be discussed and a case on fog buzz could be opened to solve this during a sprint). To participate, you just need to follow the READMEâs instructions (which basically says that you have to fork the repository, create a directory to store your solutions and create pull requests each time you solved a puzzle). There is a specific channel on the discord [3] that has been created to chat around these puzzles and their solutions. I hope to see a lot of people playing with us at solving these puzzles. :-) Cheers, Julien Links: [1]: http://adventofcode.com <http://adventofcode.com/> [2]: https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo <https://github.com/juliendelplanque/AdventOfCode2017WithPharo> [3]: https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH <https://discord.gg/3QG4YcH> PS: There is no obligation to solve 2 puzzles per day. I know everyone is busy doing its work but please if you solve these puzzles using Pharo, propose pull requests! :-) --- Julien Delplanque Doctorant Ã lâUniversitÃ© de Lille 1 http://juliendelplanque.be/phd.html Equipe Rmod, Inria BÃ¢timent B 40, avenue Halley 59650 Villeneuve d'Ascq NumÃ©ro de tÃ©lÃ©phone: +333 59 35 86 40

ZIPArchive usage + FileSystem memory
by Juraj Kubelka Nov. 30, 2017

Nov. 30, 2017

Hi, I can successfully use ZipArchive like the following -=-=- zip := ZipArchive new. { 'file1.txt'. 'file2.txt'. 'file3.txt' } do: [ :eachFile | | member | member := zip addString: eachFile, ' contents' as: eachFile. member desiredCompressionMethod: ZipArchive compressionDeflated ]. file := FileLocator temp / 'archive.zip'. zip writeTo: file writeStream. file. -=-=- What I should do to make it work while using FileSystem memory? -=-=- zip := ZipArchive new. { 'file1.txt'. 'file2.txt'. 'file3.txt' } do: [ :eachFile | | member | member := zip addString: eachFile, ' contents' as: eachFile. member desiredCompressionMethod: ZipArchive compressionDeflated ]. fileSystem := FileSystem memory. file := fileSystem root / 'archive.zip'. file writeStreamDo: [ :stream | zip writeTo: stream ]. -=-=- There is "Improper store into indexable objectâ as it tries to store a number in ByteString. Thanks! Juraj

Unable to update Glamour-Core
by Offray Vladimir Luna CÃ¡rdenas Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Hi, My image become unresponsive while making some debug, so I decided to start fresh and reinstall Grafoscopio, but I have some problems, with XML parser (so I disabled Soup temporarily) and with Glamour-Core, which provides and important part of the Grafoscopio experience. I tried also to install it from Monticello, without better results (to the version Glamour-Core-TudorGirba339). In both cases I get "SubscriptOutOfBounds: 17808" and this is the trace I get with the "Report" button (sorry I don't know other way to report): https://pastebin.com/wWM24w01 I will try with Pharo 7... The procedure is the same that was working just last week. I know the pains and advantages of having a dynamic system that is evolving quickly... hopefully a more stable platform will be there while the upcoming one is evolving. Cheers, Offray

files.pharo.org downloads => needs testers
by Christophe Demarey Nov. 29, 2017

Nov. 29, 2017

Hi all, We set up 2 new servers to replace (at least for some time) the problematic files.pharo.org <http://files.pharo.org/> server (slow downloads, bad CRC). Please, could you test these new servers and give us feedback to see if downloads are fast and nom ore CRC errors? * http://file-pharo.inria.fr/ * http://files2.pharo.org (hosted on the cloud) Data might be a bit outdated (sync last friday) but is just for testing now. According to your feedbacks, we will switch official URLs to one of these servers. The situation should be back to normal soon. Christophe
