Where do I go for support for the Mantis database?
by Ken Causey 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I had a question regarding the Mantis database so I first tried sending it to the email address listed at the bottom of every page in the system. No go, no such address available. So now I'm trying to remember who is managing the server. Andreas, Michael? Ken

SystemChangeNotification and Packages
by Alexandre Bergel 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Hello! I was wondering what is the impact of adding packages on the system change notification mechanism. I added some events for creating a new package, renaming one, deleting move, moving one method from one packate to another, ... What about adding a new repository to a package? What about saving a package? Should events be triggered or not for such actions? This question rised to me since I dispay within a browser informations like the list of repository assigned to a package (cf picture attached to this email). I need to refresh the browser whenever new information are added. And for that, triggering events would resolve this issue... Comments are welcomed! Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~bergel ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[FIX]NetworkHost>>#nameString
by Markus Fritsche 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

NetworkHost>>#nameString prints the hostname on a stream, in the version I have at hand asString is missing. On the other hand, I could also loaded packages in the wrong order ;) Regards, Markus -- http://reauktion.de/archer/ 'From Squeak3.8gamma of ''24 November 2004'' [latest update: #6548] on 1 March 2005 at 7:00:34 pm'! !NetworkHost methodsFor: 'accessing' stamp: 'maf 3/1/2005 18:58'! nameString ^ String streamContents: [:str | self name do: [:nm | str nextPutAll: nm asString] separatedBy: [str nextPut: $.]]! !

[ANN] Refactoring Browser v3833 changes
by Ned Konz 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

If you haven't run the Refactoring Browser recently, you really should try this version! It fixes all of the things that used to bug me about the RB: missing menu items, odd browsers, no RB support for the Hierarchy browser, no integration with packages, no Rewrite Tool, etc.. Check out the various new menus; also look at the window menus (for instance, you can do a "browse implementors" and then run the rewrite or finder tool on those messages). I have put another Monticello diff file (against the current SqueakMap version of Refactory, which is Refactory-md.3.8.12) on my site at: http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/Refactory-nk.3833.mcd You will have to load Monticello and Refactory-md.3.8.12 first. Or, you can load the whole package at once (Monticello is still recommended) from: http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/Refactory-nk.3833.mcz This should be the last set of changes for a while, other than bug fixes. I have removed prior versions. Since 3832: Made finder/rewrite tool search pane show edited status. Added "select category" and "select package" to class selector. Rearranged class list menu to put "more..." on bottom. Added "browse package" to category list menu. Added paragraph editor menus to finder/rewrite tool text panes. Since 3830: Fixed problem with switching from comment view. Changed to environment browsers from messagelists almost everywhere. Changed LintDialog to allow passing an environment; added the ability to run Lint from various browsers (i.e. you can run lint on all the senders of a particular message, etc.) Added more package support. Use Env browsers for implementors/senders from code pane keystrokes Since 3827: Made instVar/classVar searches look in subclasses as well. Added annotation pane and optional buttons pane to Environment browsers. Added preference for HierarchyBrowser to be a subclass of RefactoringBrowser Removed useless buttons from VariableEnvironmentBrowser Fixed coloring of Environment browsers to be the same as the browser color Since 3823: added support for opening finder/rewrite tool on environment browsers added hierarchy find/rewrite. made environment browsers use RB menus Allowed changing class selection from Finder and Rewrite tools. Added to flaps registry. Refactored LintDialog to re-use category/class selector as component made ChooserMorph work right for multiple selections improved help text made lint results always display proper selection made environment browsers display class definition if no method selections added support for defining and displaying rationale for Lint rules. The 3823 announcement: The big news here is the addition of the RewriteTool, which is like a pressure washer for code janitors. It is like the FinderTool in that it lets you search for parse tree (rather than text) patterns in your code. But it also lets you specify a replacement pattern. When you say "Replace" it puts up a FileContentsBrowser from which you can view the proposed changes and load selected methods, classes, or the entire set of changes. I have also added the beginnings of a color formatter for the RB, but haven't finished all the colors yet. You can now use the RB formatter for pretty-printing tasks throughout the system. I have also improved its printing of various things, including array literals. Changes from Refactory-md.3.8.12 to Refactory-nk.3823 - added RewriteTool (like FinderTool but you can do search/replace with it) - added lint rule for override of superclass method without calling it. - added lint rule for sending of 'new initialize' and friends - added lint rule for sending a deprecated method to a known global - improved pretty printing (especially for literal arrays, etc.) - added preference for using RB to pretty-print globally - added RB-based color pretty-printing for use in browsers - deprecation fixes: fixed 'super new initialize', 'self beep', etc. - made sure that metaclasses were searched too by lint tool! - misc. bug fixes - changed lint rule for missing super sends to look for #subclassResponsibility in superclass - fixed opening of editor in some cases - sorted class names in RB environment browsers I am presenting it this way so people can get a chance to use it for a bit. Enjoy, -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/

Window colours
by Frank Shearar 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

Is it better form to override #defaultBackgroundColor or to "Preferences setWindowColorFor: Foo name to: someColor" in Foo class>>initialize? In the latter case, we'd of course call "Preferences windowColorFor: self class name" in our Foo>>openWindowTypeOfMethod. frank ******************************************************************* This email and attachments (if any) must be swept for viruses before opening.

[ANN] PackageInfo-Extras v10 available on SqueakMap and SqueakSource
by Ned Konz 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I've just posted a new version of PackageInfo-Extras that merges the older version of this package with my PackagesVsCS and Göran's ChangeSetRefactoring. It adds a number of package-related operations to the ChangeSorter menus, and also adds filterable MessageLists. This requires PackageInfo-Base v18. It can be downloaded from your SqueakMap loader, or from either of: http://kilana.unibe.ch:8888/PackageInfoExtras/PackageInfo-Extras-nk.10.mcz http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/PackageInfo-Extras-nk.9.mcz Enjoy, -- Ned Konz http://bike-nomad.com/squeak/

the meaning of it all
by Olivier Vasseur 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I was thinking of the meaning of life, the universe and everything, when suddenly� er , well, not really. I was actually working on the French translation for Squeak. Most of it has been done for some time, but there were some 300 phrases left to translate. I did most of it, but I can�t grasp the meaning of a handful of phrases. The language editor has been useful to trace phrases in methods and find out what they were about ( � peaks � is the name of a sound, � measure lines � belongs to the vocabulary of musical notation, and so on). But for some phrases I�m still stuck. I like playing around with Squeak, but I�m not a professional programmer, not even a good amateur (I�m a translator, actually) so I guess some of my questions will seem quite naive. I need to know what the following phrases refer to before translating them (I give the class and method when I have them): * Many many thanks to Yoshiki for the language editor, but� some phrases from the editor interface are not translated (they do not appear in the list of phrases to translate): � there are no methods with the string �,� there are no match for � * what does � Flex � refers to ? * what is � add pin �? :FunctionComponent addCustomMenuItems:hand : * what is � vertical pan � ? anything to do with vertical cooking ? :) (GradientFillMorph addCustomMenuItems:hand: ) * � passing color � and � blocking colour� (ScreeningMorph addCustomMenuItems:hand: ) * � end clip here � what is a �clip� in this context? (MoviePlayerMorph invokeBookMenu) * � get sound from lib � ( EnvelopeEditorMorph addCustomMenuItems:hand: ) Does �lib� stand for 'library' (and if it does, what is this sound library)? * � World scale and clip ��seems to be a menu, but I can�t find where it is and what it does. * � start keyboard navigation with this thread � (InternalThreadNavigationMorph moreCommands ) What is a � thread � in this context ? * � die � I just have this single world in the language editor with no references� Any idea about what it can mean in Squeak ? * same problem with � diffuse � and � ton � And finally, a few remarks on the castaways : - Verne�s balloon DID eventually crash � so maybe we should forget the metaphor after all. - the castaways discover that the island is secretly ruled by Captain Nemo� Does this mean there�s a secret Squeak ruler ? :) -people who quote a French author cannot be completely wicked. - the whole thing is quite exciting, since I�ve never been able to understand so many messages in the list� usually, 2 posts out of 3 are too technical for me :) vive Squeak ! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
