Monticello authentication methods?
by Bakki Kudva 17 Oct '06

17 Oct '06

Hi all, I have a web server which currently runs subversion but uses only BasicAuth on Apache2. I'd like to change it to Digest authentication. I was wondering if Monticello supports Digest? Any suggestions on the best practice for securing a Monticello repository? Thanks, bakki

[ANN] Squeak 3.8.1
by Michael Rueger 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hi all, posted updates and the version advance for 3.8.1, available from any regular 3.8 image. The release has basically been sitting there for way too long. Besides a number of fixes the biggest change is the integration of Goran's FastSocketStream as the default SocketStream. Thanks to everybody who contributed or pointed me to fixes for this release. If there are fixes that you would like to see in this maintenance branch of Squeak please let me know. (Hopefully) Enjoy :-) Michael

3.9 Oddities
by Rich Warren 12 Oct '06

12 Oct '06

I'm trying to move from 3.8 to 3.9, and I have a couple of odd problems. In text areas, there are often odd boxes at the beginning of lines. These do not show up in 3.8. Any idea how I can get rid of them? When I try to change the window colors, I get a ton of Error: key not found messages. I don't really need to change the window colors, but having errors on a built-in feature is a bit disturbing. Thanks, -Rich-

[ANN] Audio Video Library
by Martin Kuball 07 Oct '06

07 Oct '06

Hi I would like to annonce my project to build a Library for processing audio and video material with squeak. I put a 1st version on the SqueakSource at kilana.unibe.ch. It's not much yet. But you can load and analyze avi container with mpeg 4 video and mp2 and mp3 audio content. I did this because I needed a tool to repair some broken avi files. Other tools I tried just failed badly. Try this: RIFFArchive openOn: 'test.avi' "use explore it to get a nice tree view of the chunks in the avi" "open a transcript and execute the following to get some information about the contents" (RIFFArchive openOn: 'test.avi') analyzeVideoStream "To extract the streams inside the avi container do:" (RIFFArchive openOn: 'some.avi') extractAllStreamsToFile: 'base_fileName'. "If you have raw streams you can create an avi this way:" | avi | avi := AVIFile with: (M4VStream on: 'video.m4v') with: (MPAStream on: 'audio.mp3'). avi runtime: 100. avi frameRate: 24000 / 1001. avi createIndex. "not working yet" avi writeTo: (StandardFileStream newFileNamed: 'test.avi') Here is my tentative todo list. - write more documentation and tests - cleanup and speedup - add more container formats like mp4, matroska - add mpeg2 handling (-> dvd authoring???) - connect with the other multimedia bits in squeak (sound, video playing, ...) The project is of course open for everyone to join. Enjoy, Martin

about the list and some messages not showing up
by stephane ducasse 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Hi I have a question: since I changed my address to gmail I do not see my reply to certain email in the mailing-list. It seems that other see them. Does anybody experience the same? Is it a setup in the gmail account. Sorry but I never realized how disrupting it was when reading thread to not see your own emails :) Stef

What does it take to buy in to Squeak (was RE: Stef's departure from the SqueakFoundation board)
by Peter Crowther 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

> From: David T. Lewis > I really don't know how the board would be able > to accomplish this without pissing somebody off. A strong benevolent > dictator would be required, and we do not have that. And this is a central issue. Look at the big OS efforts - Linux, Perl, Python are examples. Each effort formed around a central figure that matches David's view of a strong benevolent dictator. We had dictators, arguably benevolent, in SqC. We have had a power vacuum since SqC dissolved, with no person or group strong enough to carry the community with them - indeed, with some members of the Squeak community hanging on every word out of Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls and the rest of ex-SqC and treating those with greater reverence than the present board. Unless we have a shared vision of where we're going (difficult with a mature system like Squeak as it can be used in so many ways) or a person/group to act as a proxy for our strong vision (there's no evidence the community regards SqF in this way), we'll fragment as a community. I don't know how to get to the shared vision or the trusted person/group from here, and I expect the Squeak community to fragment. Parts will coalesce around strong projects such as Croquet and Spoon, if the Croquet group are open enough to allow the developer community to grow and if Craig is willing/able to accept distributed developer assistance. Some newcomers will come in, especially around projects that are newcomer-friendly. The rest will probably drift to other systems over time. Here's an interesting question for the list members: what would it take for you to "buy in" to a central governance model for Squeak? What would it have to look like, who would have to be in it, what would it have to be doing? My answer to the above (so that I'm not posing questions in the abstract): to buy in to a central governance model, it would have to be taking Squeak in the direction of a fast, modular, cheap runtime with good development tools; it would have to involve or have stated buy-in from my perceived major players in that arena (Bryce for Exupery, Craig for Spoon and Naiad, Tim for VMMaker, plus an appropriate module system and archive such as SM2 + MC2); and it would have to be committed to regular, incremental releases of the smallest possible core plus a cloud of modules that are allowed to be behind the bleeding edge. As always, my £0.02. - Peter

[ANN] Squeak Documentation Project
by Matthew Fulmer 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

After some discussion with bmp on #squeak, I have decided to start writing a tutorial on squeak. bmp told me that the best way to proceed with this task is to take all the documentation available on the swiki [1] and massively refactor it into book form. I am a squeak noob, and I cannot do this alone. I have created an outline of my proposal [2] on the swiki. If you have a better idea, please say so. I really want to get involved with this amazing project. This will be a great way for us noobs to contribute and learn about squeak.

Pending mc carbin 3.8.13b1 for Exupery (MacIntel)
by John M McIntosh 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

Ok I've compiled up a 3.8.13b1 that includes the interpreter methods and plugin for Exupery and tested on MacIntel (thanks to impara for providing the machine). I've stuck the VM in the experimental directory in the usual places found via http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/squeak.html Testing if I load vmmaker and exupery into a 3.9 image I get in the ExuperyTests subclasses 606 run, 577 passes, 0 expected failures, 26 failures, 3 errors It's late here, but I'd expect interested parties on monday/monday night to scurry about and figure out why there are 29 failures. This VM is compiled for Mac PowerPC and MacIntel, but of course shoving i386 instruction codes into the instruction cache and executing them on PowerPC will void your warranty. Of course someone could write the Exupery subclasses for powerpc someday... -- ======================================================================== === John M.
