problems with web server config for www.squeaksource.com
by Greg A. Woods; Planix, Inc. 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

I get a download error for "DNS Client" when I try to install it using the "Package Universe Browser" in 3.10.2 update 7179. The package tries to install from http://www.squeaksource.com/ dnsclient and the home page there says to report problems to this list. I'm not currently subscribed, but I probably should be. The download fails with an error box opening that says: Could not resolve the server named: Retry Give Up Also the Package Universe Browser doesn't let me de-select a package for install without closing it and starting all over with selecting everything I want again, which is very annoying. However selecting version 1.0 of DNS Client works because that one has a valid URL. An example of what's wrong with the web server on www.squeaksource.com can perhaps be better seen from this debugging transcript: $ ftp -dv http://www.squeaksource.com/dnsclient parse_url: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host www.squeaksource.com port http(80) path `/dnsclient' savefile `dnsclient' Requesting http://www.squeaksource.com/dnsclient received `HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily' received `Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:09:49 GMT' received `Server: Comanche/6.2 (unix)' received `Cache-Control: max-age=60' received `Expires: Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:10:49 GMT' received `X-Code-Repository: SqueakSource' received `Location: /dnsclient/' parsed location as `/dnsclient/' received `Content-type: text/html' received `Content-length: 20' parsed len as: 20 received `X-Cache: MISS from www.squeaksource.com' received `Connection: close' Redirected to /dnsclient/ fetch_ftp: user `<null>' pass `<null>' host /dnsclient/ port <null> path `<null>' dir `<null>' file `<null>' ftp: /dnsclient/: No address associated with hostname ftp: Can't connect or login to host `/dnsclient/' That's obviously not a valid "Location:" header being generated by the web server there. (of course this could also be solved by always using the proper fully qualified URLs in the package browser data too -- the trailing slash is necessary for a directory!) Now I'm getting "PluggableTextMorph(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #hideScrollBarIndefinitely" while trying to load FractalMorph -- guess there's a dependency missing.... Something else I'm installing tries to open an MVC window.... Now I've got a "Download Failed" window for 'Monticello15-Bootstrap' version: 1.5.477 Apparently It's looking for a file called 'Monticello-kph-477.st' in the temp downloadDir and sure enough it's not there. That would of course be because the file isn't on the server any more either: $ ftp http://installer.pbwiki.com/f/Monticello-kph-477.st Trying 208.96.32.2... Requesting http://installer.pbwiki.com/f/Monticello-kph-477.st ftp: Error retrieving file - `404 Not Found' Come on guys! Can't we test releases better and then keep things stable for a while?!?!?!? -- Greg A. Woods; Planix, Inc. <woods(a)planix.ca>

Squeak host window border
by Ian Trudel 16 Nov '08

16 Nov '08

Hello folks, I am currently using Squeak/Win32 3.10.2 and there is a small border, located between world and the host window. It seems to be in the host window, considering that this border is not present when Squeak is in full screen. How can one get rid of it? Thanks, Ian

Tweak
by Ian Trudel 16 Nov '08

Hello everyone, I am interested to use TWEAK rather than Morphic. However, the package is no where to be found (SqueakSource, SqueakMap) and won't download from TWEAK project website. I do *not* want, in anyway, to deal with Croquet. Any solution? Regards, Ian

Is there a way to get code pretty-printed in color to a PDF, or some other way to send it to a printer? (preferably an entire class fileout at a time)

[squeak-dev] [Bug] [Fix] Wish to have more fun looking at animated gifs from the web? Hi Torsten, Thanks for the quick feedback. *** >Torsten Bergmann astares at gmx.de >Fri Nov 14 10:30:57 UTC 2008 > >Your changeset is not directly a patch for GIFReadWriter>>readBitData, it >looks like you uploaded >your (subclass) debug code with a class WizAnimGIfProbe including log stream >stuff, ... >However by patching the original method with the essential fix: > >initCodeSize := self next. >bitMask := (1 bitShift: initCodeSize) - 1. > That is the essential fix. I did indeed upload the wrong method. I have now corrected that. I've also had a chance to look at the other gif you pointed out. Examples of problem gifs are valuable. Thanx. Analysis of the problem is in the report. >Squeak correctly displays >http://www.mathconsult.ch/showroom/unipoly/anim24.gif >but not http://www.webdeveloper.com/animations/bnifiles/disco_anim_bf16.gif Anim morph does not implement some of the expected graphic controls. Only gifs that expect to replace the background between each image reproduce correctly. Some gifs cleverly animate by adding their images successively. Getting that to work in squeak will require a more major repair. > >BTW: since Squeak is able to display images when they are dragged from a >browser onto >the morphic world it would be nice to keep animated gifs animated after >dragging. Somebody mentioned that there is a preference for that. Somewhere. So the fix is finding it and setting it. [Steps on soapboxs. say:] The best way to start a repair is to post a complaint on mantis. Mantis is persistent and patient. A report serves as a nucleus and focus. When fixed the report remains to document what has been done. [Steps off soapbox. :) ] Thanks again for your interest and help. Yours in curiosity and service, --Jerome Peace

planet trouble
by Simon Michael 15 Nov '08

15 Nov '08

Good: I updated or removed several dead feeds on http://planet.squeak.org , added a link to check your feed's validness, and added Nicolas Petton. Bad: I had to disable the feeds of Nicolas, Goran and Ramon as the Venus software is showing all entries with today's date. (Venus' cache hid this until now). The feeds look fine, the Venus software is up-to-date and mature, so you wouldn't expect this, but there you go. I'm not able to debug this further right now, any help appreciated. http://joyful.com/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=planetsqueak;a=summary Best, -Simon

Preference browser - search field

Using Damien's 3.10 dev image: The search field gets character order scrambled if I type moderately fast. Typing either super-fast or super-slow works fine. Any clues? Thanks - Sophie

Your changeset is not directly a patch for GIFReadWriter>>readBitData, it looks like you uploaded your (subclass) debug code with a class WizAnimGIfProbe including log stream stuff, ... However by patching the original method with the essential fix: initCodeSize := self next. bitMask := (1 bitShift: initCodeSize) - 1. Squeak correctly displays http://www.mathconsult.ch/showroom/unipoly/anim24.gif but not http://www.webdeveloper.com/animations/bnifiles/disco_anim_bf16.gif BTW: since Squeak is able to display images when they are dragged from a browser onto the morphic world it would be nice to keep animated gifs animated after dragging.
