Hi all,
we had another nice chat today. Topics included
- what does @HELP achieve in the #etoys channel
- how to fix up the ancestry of Monticello packages we create
- and what to do about remaining packaging differences
- how to get more reliable #etoys logs (perhaps same as #squeak?)
- how to call next release? The update stream uses "etoys4.1" for now, the bug tracker "etoys 2010". "Etoys 5" would be an option too. Discussion welcome.
- lack of documentation on extending Etoys, or even of its overall design
- progress on User Manual
- discussing Ricardo's GSoC project (Randy will set up a Google Group)
- Maybe move all Squeakland mailing lists and forums to Google? would get rid of the forum spam issues
Next chat will be next Monday, same time and place. But the channel is open 24/7, you can try to catch us any time (and use @ALL or @HELP to get our attention).
Full log below. Once we have regular logging I won't have to spam the list with this anymore ...

Derek alerted me I forgot to point out his notes on Audio / Video on Linux:
============================================= Etoys, Ubuntu desktop AUDIO - Currently OSS is used via PADSP, crashes on recording - Copied so.vm-sound-pulse from Sq VM 4.0.3-2022 - Commented out L84-89 in etoys.sh - Added L90: VMOPTIONS="$VMOPTIONS -vm-sound-pulse" - Playback/record working - - Reverb is enabled by default, to stop use do-it: "SoundPlayer stopReverb". - SoundRecorder morph has no way for user to stop the recording process... - Deleting the morph does not stop the process - If deleted while recording it carries on recording (in the trash-can) - Switching to another project does stop the process - Alternatively use this do-it: "SoundRecorder stopRecording"
VIDEO - V4LDeviceImplementor class>>workOnCurrentEnvironment - Changed (2x): Smalltalk osVersion = 'linux-gnu' ... - To: Smalltalk osVersion includesSubString: 'linux'
- Reversed the order of implementors?
- Used libv4l util (etoys.sh, L95)...
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so "$VM" -plugins "$BIN" $VMOPTIONS "$IMAGE" "$DOCUMENT" $IMOPTIONS =============================================
Thanks Derek!
Hmm, I cannot reach the squeakland server today from here. Can someone else put this in a tracker ticket please?
