[SqueakDBX] Re: New port to Pharo

[Alan Knight]

Hi Mariano,
    That's great. It would be awesome to have the Glorp license changed, 
but as we discussed in a different thread in the Glorp newsgroup, I just 
haven't gotten it all done yet. Soon.

    The version that we are shipping with VisualWorks 7.8 will be the 
7.8 - 1023 in the public repository (which just appeared there now, 
because a while ago my machine that I used to run replication on broke, 
and I haven't set it up to automatically replicate). The way I used to 
do the ports was that there was a GlorpUtilities package that could be 
loaded into VisualWorks that would then file out into different file out 
formats. I haven't done it in a while, though. There's also some stuff 
that we did within Cincom for bringing Seaside versions into Store and 
exporting changes back out to Monticello that might be nicer, in that it 
would keep versions organized. I have the impression that it was written 
to the point that the people who wrote it could use it for what they 
needed, and it might be tricky to use if you're not them, but you have 
my permission to pester Michael Lucas-Smith about it :-)

All the packages that are in the Glorp bundle in VisualWorks are 
mandatory, and they aren't even really separate packages, as there are 
lots of dependencies between them. Plus Glorp<Dialect>Port. There are a 
few extras that aren't, such as GlorpActiveRecord and GlorpAnalysis.
