Unicode in Smalltalk
by Mohammad Al Houssami (Alumni) March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

Hello again. Does anyone know how can we reflect Unicode characters in Smalltalk? I want to read characters and compare them with a Unicode representation. Like U+0026 for & or U+003C for < and so on.. Thanks Mohammad

How would one implement WebDAV on a Pharo 2.0 image? I saw several projects for Squeak but wonder what the best approach would be. Phil

Hi all! I'm doing a bizarre experiment where i need to change the position of the mouse to a fixed point (like make the mouse pointer to jump from where it is to a button). Does anyone have a clue about how to? Thanks in advance! Santiago

Log of the retrospective analysis from Pharo 2.0
by StÃ©phane Ducasse March 16, 2013

March 16, 2013

Hello happy pharoers Since Pharo2.0 will be released pretty soon, we led a retrospective analysis to learn and improve our process. Here are the notes taken by clement from the meeting led by esteban with all the team here. Pharo 2.0 Retrospective meeting by Esteban Lorenzo The Good BugTracker as Backlog Sprint / mini - sprint / pair programming Locking changes before release Community getting involved Web doc jenkins : the monkey, zeroconf script Smalltalkhub The Bad Trello We need a place to backlog what to do. We should use the FogBugz bug tracker Long development cycle (1 year), Focus problem : most things works but are not finished We should have a 1 to 2 months cycle with a part where we introduce new things and a part where we only fix bugs. At the end of each cycle, Pharo should be stable. Each cycle should have a retrospective meeting. We should pair program every friday afternoons on Pharo improvements. New failing test in Jenkins, Red builds on jenkins stayed forever We need a clear separation between pharo and pharo contribution both on smalltalk hub and Jenkins to have a clean green front end to show to end users In case of a red build, we need a quick meeting to pick someone to fix it. We need to fix the red builds on the friday' mandatory mini sprint Integrator bottleneck More intelligent monkey better tools (spec tool idea from Esteban where you just click accept and the slce is integrated) New features accepted only with tests and comments Only slices accepted no more change sets Pointless discussions on the mailing list Documentation : class comments, ... do not integrate undocumented features add code critics features in the monkey change the template of the class comment The Ugly 2 weeks lost : broken image during ESUG 2 weeks lost : beginning of the year : no VM working, jenkins couldnât test things. -> we will staged development. Communication failed : team and community For new features, send more mails to the Pharo or RMOD mailing list and less to the RMOD mailing list or private mails between few people Infrastructure VM : stability Stability : 1 VM release per Pharo release. 1 official Vm which is not just some VM from a build. Stability : VM not release if an acceptance list does not work with the VM. The acceptance list is for now all the Pharo core, seaside and Moose

How to deploy a Pharo 2.0 Desktop application?
by MartinW March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

I want to deploy a Pharo 2.0 Desktop application to a dozen of people using Windows and MacOS computers. A couple of questions arise: - How to properly start up and shut down my application when the Pharo image starts and shuts down? - Can i give the Pharo window a custom size and make it non-resizable? - How to hide development tools, world menu, global keyboard shortcuts, etc.? - How to make a nice One-Click-Application, that preferably should have the name and icon of the application and not be called Pharo (not because i do not love Pharo, but because people won't understand :) - How to automate all the above tasks, so i can easily build a new One-Click-Application again and again. - What do i state as system requirements? "You need at least Windows XYZ or MacOS 10.X to run this application" Martin. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-deploy-a-Pharo-2-0-Desktop-application-tp46766… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

GSOC Proposal: Smalltalkhub continuous integration service
by Esteban Lorenzano March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

Level: intermediate Possible mentor: Nicolas Petton Possible second mentor: Esteban Lorenzano Description: Continuous integration services are becoming a fundamental part of programming process, and tools for easy the execution of builds are emerging and being integrated directly into the version control systems (like travis and github). We propose to add this facilities to pharo flag version control service (smalltalkhub), to facilitate the adoption of continuous integration processes into our community. Technical Details: This project implies the extension of smalltalkhub and the configuration of building jobs into the pharo community public infrastructure (and explore the possibility of using travis itself). Benefits to the Student - Use a highly reflective dynamic language - Learn to develop a complex multi-module architecture with several communication pipes. - Learn about REST interfaces. - Learn about integration of different services developed in different technologies. - Learn web application development techniques. Benefits to the Community - have a platform for automate continuous integration processes - indirectly increase the quality level of the frameworks developed

How to deploy a Pharo 2.0 Desktop application?
by Torsten Bergmann March 15, 2013

March 15, 2013

Maybe my old description from Squeak times can help here a little bit: Win32 Custom Product Building http://squeakvm.org/win32/custom.html You may also be able to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Hacker on an existing VM executable I guess. There is no service yet to build a custom VM. Also have a look at ImageLocker-Core-tbn.1.mcz from http://squeaksource.com/PharoGoodies/ Also look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3714631/adding-stuff-to-run-on-startup-o… Bye T.
