Here is how you can maintain compatibility:

self environment at: #SessionManager ifPresent: [ :manager | manager default registerNetworkClassNamed: self name ] ifAbsent: [ Smalltalk addToStartUpList: self; addToShutDownList: self ]

I use it for Zinc.

ah yes… that’s better :) Esteban

you can add that protocol by yourself as an extension. you can create a package DrGeo-Pharo6

and add the method, something like:

addToStartUpList: aClass after: ignoredClass SessionManager default registerSystemClassNamed: aClass name atPriority: 60

then, you load this package as pre-req, in your baseline/configuration.

ps: all of this, if you want to have compatibility from P3 to P6, of course :)

Hi,

When I install DrGeo from its configuration file in Pharo6, I got the following VM error.

I guess the addStartUpList protocol is obsolete.

One option is to modify Dr. Geo code in Pharo3 to remove startup activation, save in the repo, then load newer code in Pharo6, and get it fixed.

Any suggestion, to do directly from Pharo6 to prevent unnecessary code changes in DrGeo repo?

Thanks

Hi Hilaire,

Hi Esteban,

Yes, good idea as this protocol is not present in Pharo6, it will ease loading Dr. Geo code.

However it looks like there are faulty code in Pharo6 as there are exactly *four* senders to this message (see screenshot), and exactly *zero* in DrGeo code, and *one* in the gettext package which should be fixed too.

Does it deserve a bug ticket or do I miss something?

No, we cannot do anything with that… this is FFI-Kernel and Alien packages which needs to be compatible between dialects so those methods are needed (in squeak and newspeak). If you see, all those methods have the SessionManager check :) Esteban
