Hi Tom,

I will apply your patches now.

Hey timothy,



in theory, after loading Roassal3 from the fork I had sent you, you should already have a somewhat working Announcements installed. The two patches that I sent you, I believe, last week, fixed the two test cases that you pointed out were failing.

The package I'm loading on Squeak is this one: http://www.squeaksource.com/AXAnnouncements.html (but it should already be installed if you used Metacello to get Roassal3, you can check in your image to see if there already in an "Announcer" class).



Are there other roadblocks concerning Announcements that you are encountering?



Best,

Tom

update...

I figured out how to clone the pharo-project/pharo repo and it is downloading now.

I should be able to figure it out from there..

Hi Jakob

"We" might not need Announcements, but Roassal uses them, so "it" needs them.

:-)



Is AXAnnouncements still API-compatible with the Pharo Announcements (or

should I phrase this the other way around)? Either way, it would be nice to

have a working Pharo-Announcements-API implementation for Squeak, at least

for compatibility's sake. It doesn't have to be in the Trunk, but once you

have an implementation or shim, one would extend the BaselineOfRoassal to

include this dependency for Squeak only.



I think this is worth working on.



One problem, is that I have no idea how to access the pharo Announcements repo so I can get it into squeak.



The pharo-local/package-cache is empty for the Announcments-Core(tonel-1)  and I don't know where to look on the web for pharo stuff.



Any pointers much appreciated, thx
