we really need help
by stéphane ducasse 16 Oct '05

16 Oct '05

Hi all We ***really*** need help. I start to be really exhausted. Here is the problem: Marcus introduced a fix to speed up morphic isRectangle instead of isKindOf: in insetBy: and collected some other fixes. Now when we take a 6693 image - merge MC275 - load scriptLoader-md.6.mcz - execute script 6 you end up after merging to an infinite loop because SmallInteger does not know isRectangle (even thought isRectangle is defined on Object). This sounds like MC loaded first the method insetBy: and that the progress bar needs it and Object>>isRectangle is not loaded yet. So what can we do? I tried to tweak a bit the script by loading first kernel-md.42.mcz take a 6693 image - merge MC275 - scriptloader-sd.8.mcz script 6 - but now I get an error because Debugger does not know stepAt:in: So I do not know what to do except ordering things by hand. I lost really a lot of time and be completely unproductive. So does anybody have any suggestion? Stef

Stewarding starting and some questions
by goran＠krampe.se 14 Oct '05

Hi guys! Me and Ken got excited :) on IRC and decided to try to get the movement towards a Stewarding/Team/TFNR/distributed-responsibility-whatever model for maintaining the current packages that Basic consists of. We picked "Network" as a good spike to play with and I started with registering such a package on SM and setting the PackageInfo name to "Network" and putting me a and Ken as co-maintainer - we of course hope to add quite a bit of people there and gradually build a team. The next step we wanted to do was to create a project on source.squeakfoundation.org. Questions: - These Stewarding repos, where should we keep them? Of course it is up to the Stewarding team - we could have just created an ftp repo somewhere on a personal server. But since SqueakSource is a good solution, which server do we use? Squeaksource.com or source.sqf? - And if the answer is source.squeakfoundation.org, we discovered that we can't create such a project. Only the admin can. Now, who is the admin? Doug? And could you please create such a project for us? ("Network") - This of course serves as an example, how do we handle this process of "handing out" parts of the image? It would of course be great if this process could be smoooth and that the people (in this case me and Ken) can make the steps without pause. The SM registration step makes sure that only one SM package can register a certain PI name. And we don't really need to have a "confirmation" step by the board IMHO before creating these Stewarding teams because I don't really think unexperienced Squeakers "dare" take it on. And if they do, it doesn't matter until - .mcz start appearing in the inbox at source.sqf - if things look scary then we can deal with it at that point. So agile, agile, agile... IMHO. And thus - the fact that we can't create a project on source.sqf is a stopper. BUT... perhaps the idea was to NOT have such projects on source.sqf? That is my guess and in that light then we should probably use squeaksource.com or another place, right? Anyway, our plan (Ken and me and anoyone who joins) is to explore this "by doing" and "by example". As soon as we create a repo for our mcz we will begin looking at the 30-ish issues on Mantis and start to produce new mcz that we intend to push to the inbox. And at the same time we will document our process and post a howto describing how others can step up and steward some other piece of the Basic image. regards, Göran

MC working for managing the image
by stéphane ducasse 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi all ok I created a ScriptLoader package which contains scripts.... and now each time I push something in 39 I update the script and test that I can load everything from the latest ***essential image*** = that could not be created with MC. This way we can accumulate changes and from time to time publish a new image. Script 1, 2, 3 loaded perfectly (modulo the merge making packages dirty) from 6693 + 274 MC So I will continue like that.

inbox -> ...
by stéphane ducasse 01 Oct '05

01 Oct '05

Hi I think that it would be nice to be able to move the inbox mcz proposals to another category such as closed when we took them into account (harvested them or not). How can I create such repo? Then how can I move (and not only copy) stuff there? Stef
