I will try. Must read up on this stuff, because it is easy to mess up.

I think I will start by collecting the changes since last release.

Hand holding and maybe some help with passwords is needed. I have changed computers a few times and I'm not sure I the subversion password.

Cheers, Karl

We have release process but it's a little complicated. http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/Documentation/Release-HowTo.txt

I saw the commit to fix the sugar interaction was done.

To generate the deb package of Etoys with the last changes, without wait for the upsream release: It is right the following procedure ?:

1. Run Etoys, and from unnamed project, update from server code.
2. Save the changes
3. Copy etoys.image and etoys.changes to my source code tree
4. Generate the deb package.

My doubt, is meanly if only etoys.image and etoys.changes are needed to copy ?

Thanks. Gustavo.

I hope procedure followed was be right.

Thanks. Gustavo

the problem is not in the XMLDomParser, but how it it used. Apparently the way gconf stores its values changed. Previously both numeric and string values had a separate entity inside, like you discovered. Now it appears int values are stored in a more compact way.

The problem is in the SugarLauncher>>gconfPropertiesAt: method. It treats strings and int properties the same way.

Instead of "entry elements first contentString" it might use "entry attributeAt: 'value' ifAbsent: [entry elements first contentString]". This should work with both the old and the new format. Here's the full method, patched (but untested):

gconfPropertiesAt: aString | dir | "search up tree to guess home dir" dir := Project squeakletDirectory. [dir pathName = '/'] whileFalse: [ dir := dir containingDirectory. [FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: dir pathName, '/.gconf', aString, '/%gconf.xml' do: [:f | | props | props := Dictionary new. (XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: f) tagsNamed: #entry do: [:entry | props at: (entry attributeAt: 'name') put: (entry attributeAt: 'value' ifAbsent: [entry elements first contentString])]. ^props]. ] on: FileDoesNotExistException do: [:ignore | ]. ]. ^self error: 'cannot find gconf path ', aString

This document describes how to publish a fix for Etoys:

http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/Documentation/Developer-HowTo.txt

If you just want to fix it in the distro rather than waiting for an upstream release, you should be able to change the method, enter the hidden unnamed top-level project, and save the image from that project (it is important to be in that project when saving the image).

Hi Georg,

The xml file content is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<gconf> <entry name="color" mtime="1389708067" type="string"> <stringvalue>#9A5200,#FF2B34</stringvalue> </entry>

    <entry name="birth_timestamp" mtime="1389708044" type="int" value="-849347955"/>

    <entry name="ip" mtime="1389708044" type="string">
            <stringvalue>1.2.3.4</stringvalue>
    </entry>

    <entry name="SugarBuddyOwner" mtime="1389708044" type="string">
            <stringvalue>1234</stringvalue>
    </entry>

    <entry name="nick" mtime="1389708044" type="string">
            <stringvalue>estudiante</stringvalue>
    </entry>

</gconf>

I don't know much about xml format, but seemingly it hasn't XML schema specification, right ?

I guess that XMLDOMParser doesn't support the xml line format: <entry name="birth_timestamp" mtime="1389708044" type="int" value="-849347955"/>.

I don't know much about xml format, but i think that is valid format entry, so XMLDOMParser has bug.

Whether the bug is in the parser or the file depends on the XML schema specified in the file.

Kind regards Georg
