PDFtalk for Pharo - first fileOut
Hi Pharoers, as some of you know, there is a project on the way for porting the PDFtalk library from VisualWorks to non-namespaced Smalltalks [1]. Now, the first fileOut of the full PDFtalk library, including Values and tests, is available for Pharo [2]. The fileOuts should load into Pharo 10.0 (or 9.0, 8.0, 7.0 and 6.1) without errors. The files are about 5 MB in size and take around 6 to 10 minutes to load on my machine. There are lots of load warnings in the Transcript and many tests have errors, but all code loads and can be browsed and examined. The tool automatically rewrites namespaced names with prefixed globally unique names. This seems to work well and automates away much of the usual porting work. Now I am looking for a Pharoer with an interest in PDF and/or the transformation tool and some time at hand to pair up for some coding. This is an exiting project. Heads up - who wants to be part of this? Happy hacking, Christian [1] https://wiki.pdftalk.de/doku.php?id=pdftalknonnamespacefileout [2] https://wiki.pdftalk.de/doku.php?id=portingblog#first_fileout_of_the_full_pd ftalk_for_pharo P.S. I hope that I am writing to the right list - apologies, if this is spam for you
