Re: [Pharo-users] How to try out XTreams

by Tim Mackinnon

Thanks for the confirmation. Did I read somewhere that XTreams would be included in Pharo2.0? When you say not fully up to date, it seems like the configuration references changes from Mar 2012 - so I guess thats not too old - although it seems hard to tell as the Pharo configuration doesn't really tell you this info (I think you can infer it by looking at the timestamp of the oldest version method), and the XTreams project website doesn't have any history detail and the Cincom store looks like you have to load VW to check this. So we don't do ourselves many favours to communicate version history which is a bit of a shame. Anyway - I can still practice using what is there I guess. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-try-out-XTreams-tp4657923p4658076.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Legacy FileDirectory

by Camillo Bruni

I finally found the motivation to properly package my compatibility package. http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~dh83/fisleg/packages/FileSystem-Legacy For people who want to migrate to 2.0 but depend on FileDirectory, they can load this compatibility package for 2.0 which will add a mock FileDirectory. It will mostly forward to FileReference. This is legacy software and should only be used for migration ;) best cami

I think I understood the concept: mcz that points to other mcz's, which you use to snapshot a part of the image and integrate into your development process. Thanks for the answers! Seb.

I don't know exactly what is written there :) but we prefer slices over changesets. Changesets should only be used in special cases where slices won't work. Which is generally the case when changing something in the very core. Usually we have a script that does a sanity check for the incoming slices on the issue tracker called "the monkey". Currently it is out of service, but we will revive it soon. So with this script we can almost fully automatize the integration process. I hope that this answers most of your questions? best cami

What are slices?

by Sebastian Nozzi

Hello all, I have some basic questions regarding "slices". On the pharo-project list I see people collaborating the whole time with "slices" (or uploading them). * What are they? * How are they used? * When to use them, when not? Thanks in advance! Sebastian
