How can I run my own CI server?
by Pat Maddox Dec. 2, 2011

Dec. 2, 2011

I'd like to set up continuous integration for my own Pharo projects. Does anyone have pointers on setting one up? Some basic pointers on how to build an image and run the tests from scratch (ideally headless) would be very helpful. Thanks, Pat

Hi, Apologies for maybe cross-posting - been having trouble with getting my pharo mailing lists straight. I'm throwing this out there in case it turns out to be a bug. I'm running the Seaside one-click install on OS X Lion. Pharo1.3 Latest update: #13302 I can reliably cause my VM to freeze up and need to Force-Quit it from the OS. I'm implementing (copying) the probability distribution classes from the blue book. When I tried to create an instance of the Binomial class, the system hung. I can replicate the problem by sending the message #basicNew to ProbabilityDistribution. ProbabilityDistribution is a direct subclass of Stream and I haven't overridden or modified #basicNew. What's happening is that it fails in the BlockClosure [anObject doit], but only when I instantiate a member of this particular class hierarchy. In any attempt to instantiate a ProbabilityDistribution or its subclasses, a #doIt in a Workspace hits the line "self suspend" in the #terminate method of Process and the VM hangs there. I believe they had ProbabilityDistribution subclass from Stream because sampling from a distribution is like reading from a Stream, but I don't think any there's any actual shared code, so I switched the superclass of ProbabilityDistribution to Object and the code works fine now. If you want to replicate, just create a subclass Foo of Stream and send it the message #basicNew. Thanks. Larry

Is that correct? Yes. Would be quite some work, I think. Not impossible, but the question is if it would not be easier to change Pharo or current Squeak (in case of MVC) for your needs.

This VM however crashes with the PBE image (MacOS). It works with the latest squeakvm (non-cog) though. I think, as a minimal-effort patch, it would be good to have the PBE website refer to squeakvm.org and clearly indicate that to run the PBE image a non-cog VM should be used. Idem on the pharoproject website. >>> >> can you tell, what causing crash? > > > Sure: It immediately crashed on opening the image. :-( The image used for the book is very old and does not have the cog related patches... The easiest would be to make a one-click with old vms for the book. Or we would need to find out (remember) exactly which patch is needed... Marcus -- Marcus Denker -- http://marcusdenker.de

installer on l*n*x ?
by t olschewski Nov. 29, 2011

Nov. 29, 2011

where are the installer scripts of pharo and squeak ? earlier squeak versions installed themselves quite comfortably with /bin/sh INSTALL (squeak 3.9) oder make install (3.10) I need pharo system-wide with a default image residing in a default location like /usr/local/lib/... and the executable in a default location /usr/local/bin/, -plugin path, vm parameters etc. - am I expected to do all this manually and to repeat this anytime I want to upgrade ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/installer-on-l-n-x-tp4104740p4104740.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
