Re: about the list and some messages not showing up

Ah, I missunderstood the initial post then.  I miss actual list mails.  It 
happens at least once a week that someone makes a post obviously to the 
list, but I only see it from the responses of others.  It is like a reverse 
kill file or something.

Re: Squeak.org down?

Yup. I know. Because I was the culprit :-(

I used to pay for the three boxes I run, including the machine called
'box2' which holds all of the Squeak business, with my credit card.
Then my credit card got stolen, I blocked it, so I had to make manual
transfers each month until I got around a place with a fax where I
could send the hosting company a new authorization fax (the hosting
company being German, they want paperwork for all this stuff).

Then I got sick, and didn't catch up with email more than once a week,
and in the deluge of spam etcetera I missed the notices by the hosting
company until the third notice last week which basically said "and now
we've disconnected your machines until you pay". Which, being German,
they did...

Anyway, I paid and I am going to put transferring the machine to
Squeak e.V. at the top of my priority list so this won't happen again
(they can probably just authorize a German 'bankeinzug' - direct debit
- which is way, way easier).

My apologies for this.

Regards,

Cees

Works for me.

There are short downtimes when the image is being saved. When that
happens wait about five minutes and then try again. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

Re: Why does every method get sent a #methodClass:


On 27.09.2006, at 17:19, tim Rowledge wrote:

because we need a place to store the properties... and CompiledMethods
are strange objects (there was a patch from you almost 10 years ago that
fixed that, yes... "Kids first", I guess). So we need to save the  
properties in some
entry of the literal frame. Now the first is already used in some  
methods (when
they have named prims), the last is used sometimes (when there is a  
super).

So we can use either the 1st/2nd or the 2nd last/last, depending on the
layout. Both would need a runtime check, in case of the super-send even
one that has to iterate over all bytecode. So not good.

So Andreas suggested to just put a class binding in the last literal,
regardless if there is a super send ot not. And indeed, this was a  
clever
idea: 1) we have now a fixed offset for the properties (they are  
always in the
2nd last literal and 2) it even costs nothing in space, as we would  
have wanted
to have the method know it's class anyways, so we would have put it  
in a property,
as you suggested.

simple test server

Hi,

this is the very simple draft of the test server implementation.

The admin should
1) change ftp server addres in download.py
2) change ftp directory (from 3.9 to 3.10)
3) change BooleanTest to TestCase in runTests.st (BooleanTest only is
much faster for testing)
4) change sending of reports by e-mail in testserver.sh
5) run this script periodically

Yes, this should be no problem to set up.

These are my initials, and any and all code I put into the base image is
under whatever licence (or lack thereof) the Squeak Foundation deems
appropriate.

Tim asked a while ago (2006/05/04)

    If someone could build a suitable page on a swiki (for example) for
    this I would be very happy to declare everything I've previously
    contributed as available under any relevant license or indeed, non-
    license.

If there is such a place I'd be happy to write something there too.

Re: [Q] [Q] StrikeFontSet display problem for separators in 3.8


I've found the source of the problem. When glyph of a character is
requested and the character's ascii value is less than font's minimum
ascii value, then ? is returned. This is why ? is displayed for tab or
other special characters.

  Sungjin,

  Hmm.  while it is true, the Accujen fonts in 3.8-6665 are tweaked
so that they have 0 as their minAscii.

((StrikeFont allInstances) select: [:e | e familyName beginsWith: 'Accujen']) collect: [:f | f minAscii]
  => #(0 0 0 0 0 0)

  Now I can't point exactly, but the installation script of m17n
system has expression to change the minAscii value of fonts.

(and also...)

((StrikeFont allInstances) select: [:e | e familyName beginsWith: 'Accujen']) collect: [:f | f maxAscii]
  => #(255 255 255 255 255 255)

  Can you tell me a bit more to reproduce the problem?

Refactoring to traits / Refactoring traits

Hello everybody!

I'm starting a research on refactorings & traits as part of a project ( that 
luckily :-) could end as my thesis ).
Since I'm a newbie, my fist step is this email.
The idea and scope are not closed yet but at a first glance the idea is to 
add refatoring tools to Squeak for traits, but this original idea may 
slightly change since it is being defined as I get knowledge about the 
topic.
Every paper, link, idea, resource, suggestion about this topic will be 
happily welcomed.
For sure, as soon as I make some progress, I'll share the results with any 
interested on this thread.

Thanks in advance
Alejandro
