Two simple chapters on Numbers for PBE2 :)
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Aug. 1, 2011

Aug. 1, 2011

Hi guys I want to share that with you. (may be I wrote some errors that you will spot I'm sure). I wrote two chapters for the next book: float (with the participation of Nicolas Cellier) and internal number representation (two complements and friend). I wrote that also for myself so that I can forget and just read it again and could say: ok this is that simple.... :) http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/Web/Draft/ Stef

Adding instance variables to existing classes in Monticello
by Nick Chen July 31, 2011

July 31, 2011

Hi I have modified an existing class in the Smalltalk image and added an instance variable to it. I would like to record this change -- added this new instance variable -- in Monticello; that way my team can also pull in the changes and have it work. This existing class is outside of my Monticello package. Is this possible? I have tried following these two threads (~ 2008) * http://forum.world.st/monticello-package-adding-instance-variables-to-exist… * http://forum.world.st/squeak-dev-MC-unload-action-and-postload-actions-td78… by creating a method on the class side e.g. TheObject class>>mcInstallOn: aClassEditor but it does not seem to work. Is this functionality still supported or is there a new way to achieve this? Thanks! -- Nick -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Adding-instance-variables-to-existing-classes-in-Mont… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

1.4 update is broken do not use it
by StÃ©phane Ducasse July 29, 2011

July 29, 2011

Hi guys apparently (I suspect some changes we did with Sven I will check), the updates mechanism only download the latest of the issues and skips all the ones in between. So if you want to use 1.4 use for now https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/28827/Pharo-1.4-14065.zip stef

**Important Please read** Towards First Class Tasks
by StÃ©phane Ducasse July 29, 2011

July 29, 2011

Dear Pharoers I think that we are doing a great work: when I look at the work on the theme, better widgets, network.....Excellent! and thanks. Now we were discussing with Doru about how we as community could coordinate and structure ourselves better to create more energy. Analysis of the current situation: Right now we have individuals doing great projects, sometimes we have a group of people but this is often not visible. Now often happens a bit in ad-hoc way. Because someone ask something, then somebody replies and we integrate the replies. What I would like to see emerging are First Class Tasks with a name a topic a coordinator a group of interested participants, a set of identified clients (because clients are the ones that often make us deliver more), a little agenda, a web presence on the web page If we look at what we have right now that are potential Tasks and really important clients - The Z connection: Network/Socket Coordinator (proposed): Sven Socket: Noury Luc Jannik Olivier Clients: Seasiders, Clouders, - Morphic 2: UI: Alain Gary Igor Coordinator (proposed): ? Presenty framework VoidNullPointer UIBuilder Athens Clients: Moose, Pharo IDE - Pharo IDE: Coordinator (proposed): Doru work around TWM Laurent Nautilus: Benjamin Laurent Glamourous: Doru Damien - OPAL: Compiler tool chain Coordinator (proposed): Marcus? Jb, Jorge, Marcus, Helvetia lukas Niko Schwarz? - Package: Stef, Cyrille Coordinator (proposed): Stephane Client: Nautilus, Doru Moose, - Metacello Dale Mariano Coordinator (proposed): Dale? Client: Stef with the idea of distribution, Torsten don't you want to help here? - Coral: Coordinator (proposed): Damien? Damien, Luc, Adrien, Stef, Client: Damien, Olivier? So what would be good is to have the identification on the web site of these groups. More discussions and concentration with a set of little tasks to be performed We could tag the mails with [Task-UI], [Task-OPAL], have a little visible agenda. What do you think? I think that it is important. Stef

Image confusion
by Jonathan Kelly July 28, 2011

July 28, 2011

Hi, newbie Smalltalker here. Have been playing with Pharo for a couple of weeks - loving it and hating it at the same time! :) So I',m on WinXP and have Pharo in "C:\Pharo 1.2.1 Release". I had thought I'd worked out worked out dragging an image file onto the exe loaded it that image (it seems to work in the main directory with Pharo.exe ... and assumed that would work with cog vm too. So I copied an image into the cog directory "C:\Pharo 1.2.1 Release\cogvm" and dragged it onto PharoCog.exe and have been happily working away. Now I realise looking at modification dates that the image it is actually using is "C:\Pharo 1.2.1 Release\pharo.image" - and confirmed that by actually noticing the window header which says "PharoCog! (C:\Pharo 1.2.1 Relase\pharo.image)" I've filed out my stuff and am going to start again. So, which VM should I be using, and if its cog .. how should I manage images. Thanks Jonathan.

Hi list, I'm testing some import scripts and wondering how people usually do this kind of testing. Do you generate temporary directories and file ? Any test code examples available to look at ? Cheers, Fa
