Hello,
I want to share that I wrote a blog post on using Unix domain sockets in Pharo.
http://samadhiweb.com/blog/2013.07.27.unixdomainsockets.html
The NetNameResolver bits can be made more Smalltalk-ish. Also, I'll be looking into the minor changes needed to support SocketStream as well.
Maybe this is the wrong list to ask, but how do I contribute this to Pharo?
Well, pharo-dev list is more appropriate place for discussing contributions. Because users list is mostly about 'how can i ... ' stuff, e.g. to help newcomers with pharo, or clarify things etc (at least this is how i using it). As for the rest, you can read details at this page (and link from it): http://www.pharo-project.org/community/how-to-contribute About unix sockets: i see the changes is not really big and easy to integrate. My only question regarding this, how do you think, maybe it make sense to have a separate class for it, so users can tell: UnixSocket new instead of Socket newIPC i also think that if socket creation failed, the code should throw an error rather than return nil.
Cheers.
