[ANN] ConfigurationOfMagma for Pharo 1.0, Pharo 1.1 and Pharo 1.2

Hi all,

a new version of ConfigurationOfMagma is available for Pharo.

Notes:

Pharo 1.0
----------------------

- 1.1r1 is the last versions that works in Pharo 1.0. This is because
upstream Magma code depends on code that only exists on Pharo 1.1 and
superior.
- Pharo 1.0 uses Preferences to enable/disable the underscore as
assigment in code. This release captures current value of this
preference. Enables it for loading Magma and restores it to the original
value after installing Magma.

Pharo 1.1, Pharo 1.2
----------------------
- The configuration for these Pharo releases is based on the one from
Pharo 1.0.
- 1.1r2 uses a new baseline because Magma has a new package dependency
(Ma files additions).
- Pharo 1.1 and superior uses Scanner allowUnderscoreAsAssignment
instead of Preferences. The current value is captured and restored after
installation of Magma.
- Pharo 1.1 and superior doesn't include FlapTab class anymore. Magma
adds some methods to it so the Configuration adds an empty class named
FlapTab before installing and removes from the system after installing.
This avoid a warning prompt when installing Magma.
- This Configuration includes support for installing Magma releases
previous to 1.1r2. Those versions should install correctly on Pharo 1.1
and greater but if a lot of problems are detected, the support for those
old versions will be removed, and only 1.1r2 and newer versions will be
supported.

Now that Pharo has Universes, Magma has different ConfigurationOfMagma
in each universe for Pharo. Each of those Configuration install the
appropriate packages in Pharo.

Installing Magma

Pharo 1.0
---------------
Evaluate:

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'UniverseForPharo10';
package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma';
load.

And then, one of:

ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Client'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Server'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Tester'.

latestVersion is 1.1r1

Pharo 1.1
---------------
Evaluate:

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'UniverseForPharo11';
package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma';
load.

And then, one of:

ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Client'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Server'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Tester'.

latestVersion is 1.1r2

Pharo 1.2
---------------
Evaluate:

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'UniverseForPharo12';
package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma';
load.

And then, one of:

ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Client'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Server'.
ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion load: 'Tester'.

latestVersion is 1.1r2

Comments and bugs accepted.

Enjoy.

Thanks Miguel, you have definitely done better than I ever did at
making a clear, coherent, clean installation. Your solution to the
FlapTab warning is creative, although I'm curious whether it was
possible to simply handle the warning in the load-script and resume
it? Ah, one bad aspect of simply handling / resuming Warning is that
it would tend to hide any future warnings about other classes (which
might be important)..

Also, I'm curious about why it was necessary to capture and restore
the underscore-assignment setting for 1.1r2. Did I miss some
underscores or is that only to support loading older Magma versions in
1.1?

Yes it occurred to me too to use something like that but as I didn't
know how to do it I prefered to create an empty class and then delete
it.

No, it was because versions previous to 1.1r2 had underscores and to
load them I wanted to restore the user preference after installing
Magma. In 1.1r2 it isn't really needed, it was too late at night :) I
will remove it soon.

Hi,
From a fresh install of Pharo 1.1 and only after loading Seaside, when I evaluate

Gofer new
squeaksource: 'UniverseForPharo11';
package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma';
load.

in a Workspace window, I get the following error

GoferRepositoryError: Could not access http://www.squeaksource.com/UniverseForPharo11

(newbie here so please go easy on me)

In an attempt to address the above, I created

MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/UniverseForPharo11'
user: ''
password: ''

but when I attempted to open the repository, the error window was titled:
"Error: Could not access http://www.squeaksource.com/UniverseForPharo11"

Would you help me understand what I'm doing wrong?

- Marco A.
