Hi David,
I'm attaching a snapshot of the VMMaker we were using in the OLPC
branch. Our full VMMaker image is at
http://etoys.laptop.org/svn/trunk/vmm/
This started out with some version of Tim's and had various changesets
applied ...
ClipboardExtendedPlugin is new, DropPlugin allows drag out of Squeak,
SocketPlugin grew IPv6 support (or rather, arbitrary address
families), SoundPlugin allows access to device parameters.
Of the Interpreter changes, I think only #primitiveBeCursor is still
relevant (adds ARGB support), the rest of the differences should come
from the sqUInt cleanups.
The other plugins used for OLPC (GStreamer, Kedama2, Ogg, Rome,
ImmX11, DBus) are not actually OLPC specific, and some don't even have
a real home, so maybe we should move them into VMMaker?
