hi sorry for responding so late we had a few days off. We checked your link and talked about it with Mr Ducasse, aswell as some bioinfo searchers from inria. They indeed told us that it would be interesting not to have the files size limitation. Since we split the team earlier in 2 different implementation of the same project. We decided that some of us will keep the limitation, and the other will remove it.

Also we're looking for some help about file reading with pharo. We couldn't find sufficient info about it on the web, if anyone has a link to share we would be gratefull.��

Hi Nicolas,

Thank you for checking. The reason why I ask is because such limit is important for bioinformatics. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) machines are generating bigger files (these are typically FASTQ files) everyday, have a look at this cdbfasta forum http://seqanswers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15331 for an example of what's happening. Maybe the CDB designers didn't anticipated genomes would be available today. However, it's a nice project and is an important library.
Cheers,

Hern��n

Hi,��

Thanks for the question, Tbh we didnt even think about bypassing it. Still we gave it a though because of your mail and we feel like doing so would create some problems. Mainly because its already coded like that in other languages, and a >4GB files wouldn't be able to be used with other languages so it would be restricted to pharo.

Hello Nicolas,

Do you plan to bypass the 4GB index file limit?
Cheers,

Hello,

we're a group of 4 students learning pharo since a few weeks. We picked up the CDB project (http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html), to hopefully get it done by march. If you have any specific request about the project let us now.
