Hello everyone.
I've just started with smalltalk and i'm using the book "Pharo By Example" to start off (the latest version from 2009-10-28). However, it seems that many things have changed since then, and the latest and probably most destabilizing one concerns packages. In chapter 2, the book says to create a package through the browser. However, no matter how much I look and search (both on Pharo and internet), I can't seem to find the place to do it. I can add a category, browse a package, but not create a package. I use the image downloaded from the Pharo-Project website, so I guess it's a good one. Can anyone explain to me which part of information I have missed? |
Hi,
You should use the image used to build the book examples https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/27023/PBE-1.0.zip As you noted, it's an old one. A lot of thing changed. Fortunately, the system is improving.

This post was updated on .
I already tried with this image, but it immediately crashes with a segmentation fault. And I also tried downloading the OmniBrowserO2 through Pharo which seems to be the second solution, but the download systematically fails after a few files... :S
In the meanwhile i'm using regular categories, but i'd still like to sort out the package issue since from what I understood it is compulsory in order to use Metacello and Monticello which I will need to use. |

Yes, all this is unfortunate but sadly the day has only 24hours and we do the best we can. The best solution actually would be to update the book, but nobody has time to do it.

I suggest to try with an older VM (4.X).
