"repository editions" is finally permanent!
by Chris Muller 23 Oct '17

23 Oct '17

"repository editions" is finally permanent! This function formerly known as "mc history" appeared in 2013, but was clunky and unreliable and I didn't have time to fix it. Now with the recent server upgrade, I took the opportunity to upgrade the image to modern trunk, running under spur, with integration of the editions feature from directly within the image. It is now finally a permanent part of our source.squeak.org code repository. (Go ahead, try it!) It self-hosts its own code within our "ss" project. This is the exact same code loaded by the Personal Squeaksource package. Together can provide editions for ALL code (trunk and proprietary). The 'mc history' menu was recently renamed to "browse repository editions" because its only "history" if its retrieving them from the trunk repository. It selects from the first repository in the repository list of a package which can satisfy the editions request, so if you put inbox above trunk then you'll be looking at a list of "alternate editions" of that method (or class) existing in the Inbox, not the "history" from trunk. The new "demote to bottom" menu item can be used to adjust the order of the list. Nicolas wrote: > so you mean that we now browse all editions, including those which are not > in current MC version ancestors: > - those in concurrent branches Yes. And, I think this was always supported (when it worked!) -- In the server there is one big dictionary per Project (e.g., one for "trunk", one for "VMMaker", one for "inbox", etc.). The editions you see in the list are instances of MCMethodDefinition or MCClassDefinition which are keyed simply by their #description -- so for method editions this is {className. selector. classIsMeta}, and for class editions, simply its (class) name. Its valued by an OrderedCollection of all the editions. (hmm, that key might be too loose..) > - those in other packages (if the method was moved from one package to > another) So, yes, as long as the other package is in the same repository, they'll still be keyed by their same #description's.

I'd been wanting encourage Hans-Martin to test this real-world use case for "browse origin" for the last weeks, now we finally can! :) 1) Bring up SimpleBorder, select the #initialize method. 2) Select "browse repository editions", a window with two editions is presented. 3) Select the one being asked about, "ul 4/7/2016 20:10" and select "browse origin". NOTE: "browse origin" is actually just "the earliest-known Version in which that definition appears." If a proper repository with all versions is kept, then it will be the origin. In this case, it appears Levente wrote very good "why" reasoning in the notes. _____ The timeouts should all be fixed. Our code repository has never been in a better shape than now. Please feel free to use browse repository editions and origins with confidence they will work! Cheers! Chris

Nuking VM ImageSegment support (was Re: [squeak-dev] Daily Commit Log; System-bf.916)

There's at least 1.5k of generated source for the Spur ImageSegment load and save support, some 2% of the interpreter/primitives source code. That's a lot, and the code is complex and ugly. If it never really worked before IMO we should nuke it asap. If it worked in some fashion perhaps we can schedule its demise for the 6.0 release's VM. What do others think? _,,,^..^,,,_ best, Eliot

Graphing weather data
by tim Rowledge 30 Jun '17

30 Jun '17

Now that I have my Pi based weather station[1] in operation and mounted up on the peak of my garage roof ... … I need to do something with the data it provides. Sadly the code reading the sensors is in Python (for now!) but it sends it as MQTT packets to a mac-mini running the broker. I’m working with Craig on an MQTT client (very early state on http://www.squeaksource.com/@gWFeIvLx-rTHKE2R/Gtrt3pje) to read it but then what? Are there any current projects that will work in squeak5.1/spur that can draw nice graphs? What kind of graphs are good for weather data? Should there be chocolate? I guess I ought to store some amount of collected data so maybe it’s time I got to grips with Magma. I’m interested in all ideas that might lead somewhere fun with this. With those ESP8266 wi-fi enabled sorta-arduino things so cheap and easy to set up there must be a gazillion interesting things that could be monitored and analyzed and graphed and indeed actuated in response; let’s not forget that MQTT works both ways. How about a rain sensor sending a message that its raining (duh) which gets collected and turned into a message to your car to close the sunroof before the velvet seat covers (with painted portrait of Elvis, natch) get wet? Or a strain gauge on your security fence alerting you that something heavier than 20 pounds has climbed over so the remote gatling needs hotting up? tim [1] Pi model A+ with gpio attached interface board for rain bucket, wind speed/direction, outdoor temp/humidity, indoor temp, RTC and USB attached Ethernet interface to POE adaptor. WiFi wasn’t practical due to metal roof. Besides, POE means I can hard-reboot by pulling a plug in my server room :-) -- tim Rowledge; tim(a)rowledge.org; http://www.rowledge.org/tim Strange OpCodes: IIB: Ignore Inquiry and Branch anyway

Suggestion for 4.6 - Morphic Designer
by Germán Arduino 27 May '17

27 May '17

Hi Guys: Now that 4.5 is near to be released I want to make a suggestion for 4.6. I think that Squeak have a killer weapon a bit forgotten that should be included in the image, it's Morphic Designer [1] from Hasso Platner Institute [2]. I'm loading it fine from several version already [3] but I think that it should be part of the image in 4.6, for example in menu Tools. This would help to lower the barriers of Squeak to newbies (remember that one of the more criticized aspects from all times is the lack of an UI Builder). And Morphic Designer really rocks and should not be forgot, I think that need to be maintained as part of the official image. What think the community?

Installing Filetree
by Bert Freudenberg 02 May '17

02 May '17

Hi all, Dale has been working on a Squeak version of FileTree, which is a Monticello repository backed not by zip files, but a tree of individual class files that can be versioned using git, svn, etc: https://github.com/dalehenrich/filetree/blob/master/doc/SqueakInstall.md Since I don't like cluttering my image with unrelated things, here's how to load it using just Installer - provided you have an up-to-date trunk image with the fixes I posted today: ======================== "Bootstrap from squeak43 branch in squeaksource3" Installer ss3 project: 'FileTree'; install: 'MonticelloFileTree-Core.squeak43'. "Load from local filetree repository (cloned squeak4.3 branch from github into image folder)" Installer monticello mc: (MCFileTreeRepository directory: (FileDirectory uri: 'filetree/repository/')); install: 'MonticelloFileTree-Core' ======================== If you have an older image without the new fixes, giving an explicit version number for the ss3 bootstrap should make it work (e.g. 'MonticelloFileTree-Core.squeak43-dkh.70'). - Bert -

Ma Client Server & Squeak launch issues
by Hari Balaraman 20 Apr '17

20 Apr '17

Hi All, I've been attempting to use the Ma Client Server package on Squeak 5.0 using the instructions on http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2978 <http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2978>. The instructions there appear to be out of date. Is there another source of documentation available? The wiki lists the last edit date of that page in Sep 2016. So I assume the package is still being maintained. Please let me know if that is not the case. Also, the version of Squeak 5.1 on the Squeak.org <http://squeak.org/> does not launch on MacOS. The Squeak 5.0 image provided on Aida/web site does, which I am using. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Hari
