03 Feb '03

I created a subclass to ordered collections. I am trying to add objects to the new class and then print it to make sure they are in there. I add one object it prints but when I add another object and print it only prints the first object i added sample code to add to list. account: aAccount "Add an account to the portfolio" self isNil ifTrue:[self add: aAccount] ifFalse:[ self addLast: aAccount]. code to print list. ccounts "Returns the accounts for the portfolio" self do:[:element|^element number]. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

[FIX] UUIDGenerator-makeSeedFromSound-ifCurtailed-fix-jf
by julian＠beta4.com 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

from preamble: "Change Set: UUIDGenerator-makeSeedFromSound-ifCurtailed-fix-jf Date: 2 February 2003 Author: Julian Fitzell UUIDGenerator>>makeSeedFromSound uses #ifCurtailed: to catch any errors. On Windows, when you remove the sound stuff from the image, an error is generated but doesn't trigger the error block. As a result you can't get a UUID. Tim Rowledge said on the mailing list: ifCurtailed: only runswhen the Process is terminated!! Sigh. I provided a 3.4b change to do this for the makeUnixSeed but never spotted the sound one."!

Smalltalker trying to hack site
by Nevin Pratt 03 Feb '03

03 Feb '03

I thought this was interesting. I found the following (which I've slightly edited for certain reasons) in my web logs today. The individual evidentally knows something about Smalltalk. They also know at least a little about Seaside (and thus apparantly also about Squeak). They also appear to have at least a little bit of familiarity with Swikis (which I'm not running :-). I wondered how long it would take before somebody tried something like this. Note that if you load Seaside 2.x into your image (which I have done), as far as I know the 'config' app is still not protected by default. If I had not disabled most of the seaside apps long ago (for this very security vulnerability), this hack attack would have succeeded. Also note that one of the Seaside apps would have given them a fully functional Squeak class browser within their web browser, and thus they would have "owned" my server. That's a warning to anybody else who uses Seaside. Anyway, this person only spent a minute or so before giving up.

UUID problems
by Julian Fitzell 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

So I started building myself a new Seaside deployment image only to find it didn't work. I had update my image to 3.4gamma and run an .st file that we always run to clean up the image and set a few prefs, etc. After an embaressingly long time (some of Seaside's low level games seemed to be preventing my from getting errors) I discovered the problem was with getting a new UUID. So the reason for the problem is that Smalltalk>>discardSoundAndSpeech discards DigitalSignatureAlgorithm>>randomBitsFromSoundInput: which is now needed on Windows to generate a UUID as far as I understand it. So can that method be left and the rest of the sound stuff discarded? Or do I need to keep all the sound stuff in my image just to get a UUID? Secondly, I was trying another image which had gone through the same .st cleanup script which worked fine on linux and OSX (the image upgrade and cleanup script were done on OSX). And when I do "UUID new" in that image (running on Windows) I get a dialog saying "#dev#random does not exist" and asking me to choose another name or cancel. So why is the behaviour different depending on whether I upgraded the image and removed the code on OSX or on windows? Doesn't make for very portable images... Anyone know anything about this?

by Derek Brans 02 Feb '03

02 Feb '03

I think I remember seeing something about this on the list earlier. In my image I have SomeClass>>someMethod On SM there is newer version that doesn't have SomeClass>>someMethod I filein the .st file and the method is still there. I'm running the newest version of DVS.
