VMMaker 3.8b1 on SM
by Tim Rowledge 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

It works for me, it produced a working OSX VM for John and it needs a couple of one line changes for win32 & *nix. It's on SM and my website, let me know of problems as per normal. tim -- Tim Rowledge, tim(a)sumeru.stanford.edu, http://sumeru.stanford.edu/tim Printed on 100% recyclable phosphor.

NetBSD 1.6.2 Sparc and the UnixOSProcessPlugin
by Bruce O'Neel 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi, It seems to work. I ran the UnixProcess catAFile and UnixProcess listDirectory and both of them seemed to do what they said they would. The unit tests said 18 failed, but, that doesn't seem right. I'll try to investigate more. cheers bruce -- edoneel(a)sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

Looking for Smalltalk for the Xerox Star
by mcwood＠t-online.de 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Dear Squeak Folks, I do have an old Xerox 8010 (Xerox Star) and a Xerox 6085 Workstation in my possesion and would love to run Smalltalk on these machines. Both machines are operation and run currently Lisp and Xerox Viewpoint (Office Automation). I heard that once a commercial Version of ST-80 for these old Xerox Workstations used to be available - at least until 1994 from Xerox XSIS. I wonder I someone would still have somewhere a Xerox Star ST-80 distribution on floppy (5 1/4" or 8") lying arround. Perhaps you might knew a person I could ask in that matter. Any Xerox Smalltalk manuals might be interesting as well. I'll appreciate your help very much. Best Regards, Marc Holz mcwood(a)t-online.de Nuremberg, Germany

I see (for the other people who need to do this) that you can: * Browse to BFAV2's mczs at http://kilana.unibe.ch:8888/BFAV2/ * Download those versions that SqueakSource has "forgotten" * re-upload the versions through the web interface Adjust as required for your package. Hm, I just got surprised though: I was about to follow my steps above because they latest version SqueakSource knew about was BFAV2-fbs.179. But by the time I'd downloaded the files, I saw that SqueakSource knew about them again. Was that a recovery on your part, Marcus, a result of my downloading the files, or what? Admittedly, the last version was uploaded November 16, so maybe its metadata was simply never affected? frank ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

BFAV + SqueakSource problems
by Frank Shearar 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

I'm trying to publish BFAV 2.30. Well, I _have_ published BFAV 2.30 (and of course BFAV-Installer). So I open up a virgin Squeak 3.9a, open up a SqueakMap & hit "install" on the BFAV Installer. After a while I get a debugger popping up complaining about how the EOCD wasn't found. I look at the size of the BFAV-tlk.182.mcz SqueakMap downloaded - 454 bytes. It looks like a truncated file was downloaded, basically. So I thought I'd see if maybe the repository had a bad file & downloaded http://kilana.unibe.ch:8888/BFAV2/BFAV-tlk.182.mcz. It came down fine, all 99K of it. Any ideas why this is happening? I think in the meantime I'll upload the BFAV-tlk.182.mcz to map1.squeakfoundation.org (that's how I've done all the previous releases - it cuts out an additional point of failure). frank ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Squeak/Croquet at 21C3
by Marcus Denker 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi, At the end of the month there is 21C3 in Berlin (see http://www.ccc.de/congress/2004/index.en.html) We will have a Squeak/Croquet demo on Tue evening. It it possible for projects to register space in the Hackcenter. So if any other people from the Squeak/Croquet communites are attending, this could be interesting to set up. So, if anyone intens to be at 21c3 --> sent a mail to me. --- The Hackcenter is our central space for active projects who want to work and collaborate at 21C3. We have around 500 seats free but as demand is usually much higher you have to apply for space with your project. We have now opened the registration site for the Hackcenter now. Please note that it is much better to apply for a whole project area as a group than ask for single seats one by one. Get your group together first and then file an application explaining who you are, what you want to do etc. We will select the projects from the list of applications in December. We favor active development groups and similar projects. If you just want access to the Internet at 21C3 you don’t need space in the Hackcenter. We provide Internet access wherever possible in wired and wireless form for free. So if you just want to hook up to the net with your laptop there is nothing to be done in advance.

[UPDATES] 10 more for 3.8 (and 3.9)
by Marcus Denker 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Some more fixes/tests for 3.8. The same changesets are in 3.9, too. 6476asMutatorEnh-st -- Samuel Tardieu -- 22 November 2004 It is common to use the expression (aSymbol, '':'') asSymbol to build the setter from a getter message. For example, Seaside uses it internally for building callbacks. This changeset adds the #asMutator message to the Symbol class. Test included. 6477ttcFix -- Yoshiki Ohshima -- 22 November 2004 Add Symbol font support to the later versions that uses Unicode. Since the characters in the Symbol font now has legitimated character code point, we should use them." 6478StringMorphEditorSelectionFix-nk -- Ned Konz -- 22 November 2004 Ensures that you can select just after the last character in a TextMorph that is set to autoFit with autoWrap off (that is, with no space to the right of the last character). v2 avoids selecting to the right of a CR at the end of a text line. v3 adds same fixes to MultiCharacterBlockScanner. 6479FileCttBrowsServicesFix-md -- Marcus Denker -- 23 November 2004 When trying to open the meny (for ''get'' to read a big file) with Filelist2, there was a walkback because FileContentsBrowser did not implement #services" 6480AtomMorphEnh-tbn -- Torsten Bergmann -- 25 November 2004 This adds a class comment and an example to AtomMorph. It also fixes the broken AtomMorphTest which failed due to the missing class comment." 6481NumberParsingTest-dtl -- David T. Lewis -- 24 November 2004 Test cases for numbers parsed from strings or streams. This test case is a companion to ScaledDecimalTest, which has already been added to the Squeak 3.9 release stream. These tests demonstrate three failures in the current 3.9 image. See NumberReadFromFixes-2-dtl for patches that correct these failures as well as those demonstrated by ScaledDecimalTest." 6482NumberReadFromFixes-2-dtl -- David T. Lewis -- 24 November 2004 These changes correct several problems with parsing of numbers from strings and streams. The problems are demonstrated by NumberParsingTest and ScaledDecimalTest (provided in separate change sets; the latter is already included in the Squeak 3.9 image). The original bug report was for the following problem, which is corrected by this change set: ''1.40s2'' asNumber => 1.39s2 This change set replaces NumberReadFromFixes-dtl, which introduced a serious bug that prevented recompilation of the system. 6483BecomeSelfImagefix -- tim(a)sumeru.stanford.edu -- 2 November 2004 Companion to BecomeSelfVMfix to trap the error of a become: a correctly" 6484haltIf-Fix-md -- Marcus Denker -- 24 November 2004 small refactoring for Object>>haltIf:" 6485MSecFix-ar -- Andreas Raab -- 25 November 2004 Time>>millisecondsToRun: can - if executed across image saves - result in a negative number. This fixes it to answer a very large number by replacing the simple subtraction with Time>>millisecondsSince: wich compensates for overflow."

st.cs.uiuc.edu is down, please read
by Bruce ONeel 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi, Um, it seems that st.cs.uiuc.edu had way too much thanksgiving day turkey and is now down. The good news here is that I get about 2 emails a day asking how to download squeak since st.cs.uiuc.edu is down. That's not too bad. Could someone (close by) walk down the hall and give it some care so that it is running again? Thanks! Second, even when st.cs.uiuc.edu is up, we are just about out of disk space. I have an offer from John Klos at ziaspace.com to use one of his systems to host Squeak. Basically bandwidth is free for him when it's an open source project. We could put the main archive there, or, we could put a mirror there. If we don't move the main archive we need very soon (like now) to get a bigger disk. We have in the nighborhood of 50meg free but each image/changes package is 10 meg. Maybe the Univ of BE guys could host the main archive? Thanks, cheers bruce
