I tried installing your deb file but got the following error. Do I have to do something with the changes file before installing the deb? Selecting previously deselected package squeakland. (Reading database ... 238563 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking squeakland (from .../deb/squeakland_3.8-4u_all.deb) ...

stdio, stdin, stdout with Squeak-3.9-8
by Isaac Gouy 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

With Squeak3.8.1-6747 it was possible to write to stdout like this |stdout| stdout := FileStream fileNamed: '/dev/stdout'. stdout nextPutAll: 'stuff'. That no longer seems to work with Squeak-3.9-8 on Linux. Is there a new way to write/read from stdout/stdin? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

Strange behavior on Squeak 3.10 alpha
by Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi all, First, thanks for the development of 3.10 alpha, it seems to integrate nicely behaviors of different squeak images and work well with change set from olpc. I have migrated from 3.9 to 3.10 alpha. On Squeak 3.10 alpha #7068 I get the look and feel I wanted (the Extremadura's Squeak one) and when I create a new project, the dock bar is inside it. This doesn't happen on 3.9 where, if I create a new project the dock bar is not and I need to go to the world menu and then disable an re-enable the "show dock bar" option. Also, any time that I go from an inner project to an outer one I get this message: MessageNotUnderstood: TTCFont>>fontArray So seems that 3.10 alpha #7068 was in fact better for me that 3.9, but today I update to 3.10alpha#7070 and I get the same behavior that I was getting on 3.9. Any pointer to a solution? Also, seems that 3.10 would be more modular that 3.9 because things like eToys would be (un)loadable at will. Do you have more information on the plans for 3.10? This load can be made also for things that change the look and feel of Squeak like Bots Inc. or even Scratch? Thanks again, Offray

Squeak Firefox plugin on Linux
by Andrew Dabrowski 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have Ubuntu Linux and the Squeak plugin for Firefox isn't working. For example, when I go to the Etoys page at Squeakland Im told I need to download a plugin, even if I've already installed it. Does anyone know if this is the fault of Squeak, Ubuntu, Firefox, or me?

#and:, #or: methods in blocks?
by Petr Fischer 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi, methods #and:, #or: etc. are defined in Boolean class only - why this methods are not defined in "blocks" too? * standard way (brackets mix): ( condition_1 ) and: [ condition_2 ] ... * this (fictive) way looks beter (for me): [ condition_1 ] and: [ condition_2 ] ... more complex one: [ [ cond_1 ] and: [ cond_2 ] ] or: [ cond_3 ] Thanks for clarification, pf

Fwd: WideString
by Ramiro Diaz Trepat 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hello, I was parsing a small text file, character by character, onto a collection that later on I wanted to convert to a String. I found that to convert a SequencableCollection of characters to a String, I only can store the characters as Integers, then convert the collection using #asByteArray and then call #asString. I could not find any other way to convert a collection filled with characters to a String. The file I was parsing, contains utf8 characters, hence the asByteArray asString sequence did not work for me. To get it working, I had to use #asIntegerArray and add the method #asWideString to the class IntegerArray, with the following implementation: IntegerArray>>asWideString ^ (WideString new: self size) replaceFrom: 1 to: self size with: self Which is analogous to the ByteArray implementation of #asString. My questions are the following: Since ByteArray has the conversion method #asString, do you guys think this method should also be added to IntegerArray to handle WideString instances ? What is the proper way to submit changes to basic classes like IntegerArray ?
