[ANN] MCConflicless

Hi all, I've published this package in http://www.squeaksource.com/mc Definition: Allows to selectively merge changes which are without conflicts among different version of one package. Applicability: To be able to reject non conflictive and poor quality code. An example can be a tired developer commiting bad parts of code due to distraction or exhaustion and mergers are able to reject that parts preserving the quality of the branch and that developer's health and best success :) Note: if you install UI Enhancements from Gary, this package will also make you able to use diff tools merger choosing, for each change, which is the winner and the looser of the merge (which, IMHO, is the most useful tool for that this days).

Sapphire is a good news
by Giovanni Giorgi 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hi all, From the Sapphire web site I read: Sapphire wants to take a fresh look at the Smalltalk philosophy and current implementations. The idea is to produce high quality open-source packages that will be loadable on a micro kernel. As some of you know, I was a Smalltalk fan&developer in the last twelve years. I have stopped working on smalltalk years ago... anyway, I am happy to look forward the Squeak Smalltalk Community from time to time. I have republished an article on my blog, posted by me on SqueakPeople, over 4 years ago: http://blog.objectsroot.com/blog/2008/apr/29/boosting-squeak-rocksolid-imag… The reason of this republish is simple: I am very happy to see a Squeak code fork called "Sapphire" which share most of my thoughts. I do not love code forks, and I avoided carefully them while working for the Squeak Community. Anyway, after some discussion I have seen on the list, I think Sapphire is a good idea, and it should work nicely with Squeak main code trunk, and vice-versa. I will take a look to Sapphire, and you will find my throughts in the next months on my blog. You are free to leave comment on my blog.

Undoable environment ?
by itsme213 01 May '08

01 May '08

I have commands that I would like to make undoable. Is it possible to wrap the commands within an "undoable" environment as suggested in http://www.ceteva.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17 I imagine something like this (but wouldn't know where to start): A>>setFoo: aFoo Undoable newOn: [ foo := aFoo ] A>>setBar: aBar Undoable newOn: [ bar := aBar ] a := A new foo: 0; bar: 0; yourself. a setFoo: 5. a setBar: 10. Undoable undo. "a bar == 0" Undoable undo. "a foo == 0" Undoable redo. "a foo == 10" Thanks - Sophie

JNIPort
by Torsten Bergmann 01 May '08

"JNIPort is a Smalltalk library which allows Java code to be invoked from Smalltalk." According to Joachim the JNIPort (Dolphin ST, VisualWorks) is prepared to have a possible port to Squeak (see http://astares.blogspot.com/2008/04/javaconnect-java-assmalltalkvalue.html) Anyone interested?
