Distributing 'minimal' image
Hi all, I am planning to put online a minimal image that contains AspectMaps, with some models pre-loaded. Two questions: - Is there an easy way to strip this image of dev tools et cetera? - How can I make it so that I can distribute it without the changes file? (Right now the image complains of a missing changes file if it is not there ...) Thanks in advance! -- Johan Fabry jfabry@dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Not really. The easiest way is to have a Configuration of Metacello that takes care of loading all your code with all your dependencies. Then, take a PharoCore and load your code there. In addition, you may want to evaluate "ScriptLoader cleanUpForProduction" at the end. Check the method to see what it does.

I am aware of "Smalltalk abandonSources" to avoid using .sources. You won't see things like the temp names, and stuff will be decompiled instead. For the .changes you can start the image without them, there will raise a popup at the beginning. The problem is if you then do sometthing that should be written there. Not sure here... cheers Mariano

With a little effort, you can embed source code into method trailers. Then you won't need .sources nor .chanes to see the real source instead of decompiling it. But you will loose method stamps.
For the .changes you can start the image without them, there will raise a popup at the beginning. The problem is if you then do sometthing that should be written there. Not sure here...
yeah.
cheers

Pity, that. It would be a nice addition to Pharo I think...

Thanks, I'll look at that.

OK I'll try that.

Is there a way for this popup to be inhibited? Or can I just make a zero-line changes file and distribute that? I am assuming the users will not use a browser, and if they do get to that point they are experts and fully responsible for shooting themselves in the foot :-) -- Johan Fabry jfabry@dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

On Settings Browser, under System, you can uncheck "Check changes file availability", to inhibit the warning. Saludos, Daniel Galdames G.

The problem are, as always, the overrides. Sure, you can unload all the packages that were loaded on top of the core image to build the Dev one, but the problem are the overrides. We cannot (yet?) recover the original overwritten method I think.
In addition, you may want to evaluate "ScriptLoader cleanUpForProduction" at the end. Check the method to see what it does.
Thanks, I'll look at that.
