Moving forward I would add Squeak4.4 to the list of platforms for CI and publish updates to the Metacello-Base pacakge as needed. I wanted to pick up on this in particular: Travis CI is a remarkable tool that lets you hook into a CI system just by hosting your project on github and having some config. I do plan to try get it to work, and Dale's written loads about it. I like being independent of other parties, but hey, if Travis can do some additional CI work for us, yay! frank

4.4 release plan
by Frank Shearar 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Hi, We've had a sharp uptick in the rate of development recently, and I thought it worthwhile to talk about how this might go forward. I'd originally wanted Environments in 4.4 because I like new features in versions, rather than (and my perception might be completely wrong) lots of bugfixes [1]. In talking to Colin, that was a tad optimistic, given that Chris Cunnington and I were talking about a September release. Since I'd like to increase the perceived momentum of Squeak, I'd thus rather release 4.4 now than wait for us to hammer on Environments. Colin reckons he'd like to adjust Environments over the next few months. Given the invasiveness of the change (even if it has had very little impact so far), that seems like a good plan. Solid release, good. Flaky release, bad. So, the plan right now is * unwind Environments * move 4.4 into beta * get a green light on all tests (that we expect to work now) (* ideally test a bunch of well-known packages against 4.4 on squeakci) * release 4.4 on September 1. I don't know if that means we should simply fork 4.4 backdated immediately prior to Environments landing or not: if that's possible, that might be easier than unwinding. I would ask, though, that people concentrate on hammering the 4.4 beta stream then, rather than hammering on trunk, until September. frank [1] At some point I'll do the hard graft of formalising these features/fixes into a changelog.

I don't actually use a mail client. I read the Archive and cut and paste new messages. I don't press Reply. Only Send. I hear you, though, and so for the sake of this discussion, I'll copy the entire preceding message in each new post. Chris

how to undeclare a global under Environments?
by Chris Muller 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Subject says it all. I think before we had #undeclare: or at least #removeKey:. How is it done under Environments?

email stuff
by Chris Cunnington 02 Aug '12

I went into my Squeak-dev settings and changed the Mail delivery option from disabled to enabled. So it should kick in and I'll start getting lots of emails. I already have it that way for the Beginners list, as the traffic is low. And instead of turning it off again, I'll figure out how to sort stuff by folders. I think that's the same setup as others have, so it's now only a question of waiting for the new setting kick in. Chris

http://www.osrcon.ca/HudsonBuildTools.st.zip http://www.osrcon.ca/HudsonBuildTools.st This is the code for the HudsonBuildTools package. I pulled it from an old image on my laptop. It uses HudsonBuildTools-lr.53.mcz and the sole change is the one I mentioned before. Chris

The business of Author in HDTestReport I dealt with ages ago. It was in the image in the FTP directory, but I suppose that image is gone. I sort of figured you were aware I had to cut and change HDTestReport to make it work. This is not a big problem. I'm sure I have a copy of that original alteration to HDTestReport. Since you're summoning parts from everywhere, I'll find it, give it to you as source, and you can add it to GitHub or something. Just a sec. " /I'm happy for someone to say but here's how you can do it right now!" /You're doing it right. And you're doing it right now. You sound how I felt yesterday. The problem is we are being watched as we do this. It increases the stress. Chris

HTTestReport>>run "Author uniqueInstance ifUnknownAuthorUse: 'hudson' during: [" *[ self setUp. suiteTime := [ self runAll ] timeToRun ] ensure: [ self tearDown ] *"]" I wish I could say I did more, but I think I just commented things out as above. Chris
