VMMaker class>>updateFromServer should now load FT2Plugin from the new FreetypePlugin repository. A similar update will be needed for ConfigurationOfVMMaker for Pharo.
Done (version 1.4). All Pharo-1.0 tests green with last squeakvm revision.
Hi Laurent. Thank you very much for tacking care. Now I was thinking: the ONLY way to correclty be able to reproduce a VM version we need not only the VMMaker side but also SVN. If 6 months from today, I try to load version 1.4 with trunk, it won't work. I need to downloa an spceific SVN revision, as you write it in the commit comment. However, I was thinking that it would be great to put such information in the description: of Metacello. Not even the version (as the repo can change) but also the whole command. Not necesary while a verison is in #development but yes when it is realed. So, suppose I release 1.4 I can write:
version14: spec <version: '1.4' imports: #('1.4-baseline') >
spec for: #common do: [ spec blessing: #development. spec description: '- Changed repository of TrueType - etc..... Works with svn co
http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/trunk/platforms/ -r 2203'. spec package: 'FFI-Pools' with: 'FFI-Pools-ar.1'; package: 'SharedPool-Speech' with: 'SharedPool-Speech-dtl.2'; package: 'VMMaker' with: 'VMMaker-dtl.170'; package: 'MemoryAccess' with: 'MemoryAccess-dtl.3'; package: 'SlangBrowser' with: 'SlangBrowser-dtl.3'; package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin' with: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-OSProcessPlugin-mtf.21'; package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-AioPlugin' with: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-AioPlugin-dtl.9'; package: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-XDisplayControlPlugin' with: 'VMConstruction-Plugins-XDisplayControlPlugin-dtl.7'; package: 'Balloon3D-Constants' with: 'Balloon3D-Constants-ar.5'; package: 'Balloon3D-Plugins' with: 'Balloon3D-Plugins-bf.5';
package: 'Freetype-Plugin' with: 'Freetype-Plugin-dtl.56'; package: 'FreeType' with: 'FreeType-tween.435'. ]. spec for: #pharo do: [ spec blessing: #development. spec package: 'Alien-VMMaker-Support' with:
'Alien-VMMaker-Support-John M McIntosh.8'; package: 'Alien-VMMaker-Plugins' with: 'Alien-VMMaker-Plugins-John M McIntosh.8'; package: 'Sound' with: 'Sound-StephaneDucasse.47'. ]
Of course, this is just an example...
what do you think ? I hope this will increase traceability between Smalltalk code and svn.
I think you're right. I will add this description.
Indeed, with easy_squeakvm script you have reproducibility (all is automated, explicit svn rev. and ConfigurationOfVMMaker).
May be we can "translate" easy_squeakvm to Smalltalk so we can have an EasySqueakVM package (or better name) which is cross platform.
