Re: PRIVATE responding to ad hominem person attacks
by Peter William Lount 17 Sep '07

17 Sep '07

Hi, The message with the heading "Re: PRIVATE responding to ad hominem person attacks" really was only meant to go to one person. For some reason when I pushed "reply" Firefox put in the group list name and not the persons name and email as it often does. I didn't expect that. This is an example of a common mistake that happened during the discourse on this list. I do apologize to you all. I had not intended the noise level to be so high. I simply didn't expect so many people to come to the defense of the person who initiated the ad hominem personal attack. Peace. The future of Smalltalk and Squeak await us. All the best, Peter

Hi all, Bob and I are looking for a volunteer to act as third moderator for the Beginners mailing list, in order to help us with the administrative requests. Most of the work consists in just going once every couple of days thru the administrative requests, approve the valid messages and discard the invalid/spam ones. If anyone wants to help, please contact me. Ciao, Giovanni

Bug in RefactoringServiceProvider renameMethod?
by Simon Guest 16 Sep '07

16 Sep '07

I try to rename a method by right clicking on a method name in the package browser, and choosing Method -> 10. Rename method. I get a backtrace with the ultimate problem being BrowserRequestor(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #getArgumentPermutation. Indeed, in my image (based on 3.10beta update 7130), there are no messages with this name at all. Any suggestions? cheers, Simon

SqueakSource down?
by Wilkes Joiner 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Trying to install some stuff with Universes, and I'm getting an EOCD error. I look at the mcz file it is failing to unzip which turns out to be an html file that says SqueakSource is down. Thanks, Wilkes

Right click on linux (or ctrl-leftclick in windows?)
by Sebastian Sastre 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Hi there, this is silly but I've took a look in the man pages of squeak and squeakvm in linux and a look into the preferences but I'm unable to make work the right click of the mouse to behave the same as in windows. Ofcourse Ctrl-leftclick works just fine but as I have to switch between working on squeak over windows and linux I want the same usability in the image over any OS (this case just DOS and linux). Any clue? thanks, Sebastian Sastre

OrderedCollection new allButLast?
by Andreas Raab 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Hi - I just noticed that "OrderedCollection new allButLast" reacts very different to, say, "Array new allButLast". And I'm wondering whether we expect that effect from OrderedCollection? Cheers, - Andreas

Object>>withArgs:executeMethod:
by Igor Stasenko 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Its unclear, is this primitive <primitive: 188> works? In what VM version it can be found? I fear that its not supported, because of: Object>>with: arg1 executeMethod: compiledMethod "Execute compiledMethod against the receiver and arg1" "<primitive: 189>" "uncomment once prim 189 is in VM" ^ self withArgs: {arg1} executeMethod: compiledMethod -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

recent Mantis server/app changes?
by tim Rowledge 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Has anyone recently altered the Mantis setup? I've noticed two problems today that I don;t recall ever having before. a) 'my view' shows nothing assigned to me in the 'Squeak' project. However, 'view issues' and restrict to items assigned to 'tim' shows the 22 items I expect. b) when I look at the report I've just created - http:// bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6669 - I see no content to my note (0011121) unless I edit it when all is revealed. Same problem in Firefox, so probably not a Safari issue. tim -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Great leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well.
