[ANN][Squeak-dev Images] January 2008 versions

Hi,

I've just uploaded new squeak-dev and squeak-web images based on
Squeak3.9-7067 and Squeak3.10-7159.

http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev.html

Changes in this version:
---------------------------

- The 3.10 based images now have 32bits color depth. This prevents a
bug with Compiz on Linux boxes and the logo looks nicer.
- squeak-web images now contains Aida (http://www.aidaweb.si/) which
is another Smalltalk Web Application Server. You can start it on port
8888 with "SwazooServer demoStart".
- Seaside still runs on top of the http server Commanche. However, you
can run Seaside on top of Swazoo too "SwazooSeaside startOn: 8088".
- The OmniBrowser packages contains bug fixes and requested features
(Ctrl+h to browse hierarchy and Ctrl+Shift+C to show category). Feel
free to use mantis to submit more. Also, the repository is open to
commit (source.wiresong.ca/ob) and adding features is easy; please
help us making OB a great framework and the best browser.

I read somewhere that this version was not compatible with Squeak 3.9.
If it's I misread, please upgrade the universe for the package to
point on the new version (how to http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5899).

Oh, I forgot about that part. "Someone" should really make a 3.9.1 ...

I wasn't sure about barfs! :)

Ups, dead sources link.

Ok, to even more increase global head-shaking in my behalf :D

Fixing the broken link just seemed to be the issue here. I had removed
all squeak packages for ubuntu before and installed the squakland
package after that, leaving many dangling symlinks. Installing squeak
packages again I thought the problem was a bad link leftover. Testing
*from a shell* worked. But what happened is, that the newly installed
packages changed the way how squeak images are started *from the
desktop* again. I had changed the launch method to squeakvm with
buttonoptions once (see why [1]) and now the squeak launching script was
executed and instead of the squeakvm the squeakvm launching method was
used. Now double clicking on a squeak image resulted in starting the
real vm like "squeak -vm-display-x11 -swapbtn sq3.9-7067dev08.01.1.image
squeak.image". The additional squeak.image made CodeLoader raise the
exception.

Pooh!

Now beyond shooting myself in the foot with this, wouldn't it be a nice
feature to have the vm answer a default sources directory (via some
vmparameter) and make the image look for sources files in that directory
instead of having many copies of or symlinks to sources files all over
the place?

You only need to have one sources file in the same directory as the VM.

thats not fair, i just got your 3.9 image all configured for me,  can i update to 3.10 through squeak's update?

On unix systems the squeak vm is in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, which is
no good place to have the Sources files in.
I think it wouldn't hurt to extend vmparameters to return an explicit
default sources directory. This would return the vmpath for every
platform but unix and behaviour would be the same as it is now. For unix
it should return /usr/share/squeak instead.

Alex

i guess the answer to my question is yes, im doing it now!

it's highly possible that your vm is really located in
/usr/lib/squeak/... and that you only have a link in /usr/bin. I
always put my sources files directly in /usr/lib/squeak/... and they
are found without problem.

3.10 is not a stable image, it has not been released yet. You should
wait a bit. Moreover, you may have problem upgrading like this; I
recommend you to use a 3.10 image directly.

Using the "official" debian packages you get the squeak vm named
squeakvm in /usr/bin and a script named squeak in the same directory.
The "official" sources packages install the sources files into
/usr/share/squeak.
What packages are you using on what distribution? This sounds rather
like a manual installation and I wonder if this is more common than just
loading prebuilt packages?

That was one purpose of LPF, to free you from having to stick to older apis

I suggest taking note of the packages which you load into your image,
and writing an installer script.

The theory being that this script should run in any base image that you
choose, once the LevelPlayingField script has been applied.

You could, but better download
http://ftp.squeak.org/3.10/Squeak3.10alpha.7069.zip and populate to your
needs via Universes.

Also could try Damien excellent images or if you was a good boy last year ,
email to Los Reyes Magos ( Mateo 2,1-2) and put your shoes for my upcoming
FunSqueak, to all previous loaded I add more stuff (Sheduler, eCompletion,
Seaside+Magritte+Pier).

Err, where does this version number come from? The latest versions are
7.0.5 and 1.3.1 respectively.
