Tom,

Thank you very much for your work.

Is this in support of Jakob's pull request? i.e. are you two working together?

How should I proceed from here? Pull from your repo?


cheers,

t

Hi timothy,

(you'll probably be seeing this mail twice, my first attempt bounced on the ML because my mail address had changed, sorry!)



after I read yours and Eliot's conversation, I went to try loading 
Roassal3 to see how our Tonel support is doing. I stumbled over three 
errors:
 - The error you just mentioned [1]
 - Monticello was not strict enough with matching MCReader capabilities [2]
 - The Geometry package used in Roassal uses Unicode symbols in their code, which is not supported in Squeak [3]
 
 I then went ahead and tried to adapt things a little and got the result 
you can see in the attachment. The experiment is found here [4]. I 
decided to not load Athena at all and started putting together an 
alternative Balloon backend instead (I am aware that
Athena has a Balloon backend as well, the one I found consisted mostly 
of stubs, however). The resulting quality does not compare with Cairo, 
of course, but the basics were up and running very quickly.
 
 In theory, this should give you the working installation, however, 
packages load out-of-order because I did not manage to the baseline 
quite right just yet:
 
 Metacello new
     baseline: 'Roassal3';
     repository: 'github://tom95/Roassal3';
     load.
 
 Best,
 Tom

Thank you.
 
 
 If you are interested, I will be figuring out Pillar with this github stuff and getting the beginnings of some books up on http://squeakbooks.org*
 
 I will be documenting these steps in a booklet.
 
 This squot/git stuff will both be used and the subject of that booklet.
 
 good stuff.
 
 thanks for your work.
 
 
 
 
 *Help Browser team...I am confident that an XTreams-Parsing grammar /actor pair can be written to auto-generate HelpBrowser books from the Pillar to the Help Browser.

I am in the middle of integrating a pull request to solve this bug in
 squeak-tonel. :-)
