SqueakMap is the the standard way to register and make applications
available for Squeak users. Now that we have a new release of Squeak, I'd like to point out some new documentation for how to: 1) publish software for Squeak, so that it will appear in The Catalog. http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/779 http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6181 2) designate any existing projects in The Catalog which had appeared in the 4.2 list to 4.3, so they will appear there. http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6180 By following some simple new publishing guidelines: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6182 the SqueakMap catalog is the ONLY tool that meets the requirements identified by the community over the last two years: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6183 |

Is hard to believe that is official and agreed by the "community" and not just created after the squeak map "features". It seems biased to me biased and that many of the features are artificial for practical purposes like the one of "installing from every source on earth". At the end of day squeaksource is used by most people no matter their frequent downtime. -- Miguel Cobá http://twitter.com/MiguelCobaMtz http://miguel.leugim.com.mx |

But squeakmap is the index to all repositories, including squeaksource. If you update your package in squeakmap, it can be found by people who use squeakmap. -- Randal L.

Yes, those requirements were culled from discussions in the squeak-dev mailing list from the last two years or so. And yes, AFTER understanding those requirements, I developed those publishing guidelines in combination with some rudimentary patches to the SM client and server code to allow those requirements to be met. Squeak 4.2 was the first pilot for the revived SqueakMap which solves the problem of bit-rot. We accumulated about 20 individual software packages that were one-click loadable in 4.2. Now that we've gone through an entire release cycle to demonstrate that it is working, I wrote up the the documentation about it at the behest of Chris Cunnington. There is nothing sinister here. This has nothing to do with Metacello -- e.g., SM not a competitor with SCM tools. This is just the Squeak community keeping a Catalog of scripts that document configurations of software packages and more. That way we can have fewer "How do I load XYZ" type of noisy discussions in the squeak-dev list. The requirements are from the community and continue to be open for discussion. But I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a bit wary of your sudden "interest" in Squeak.. > > -- > Miguel Cobá > http://twitter.com/MiguelCobaMtz > http://miguel.leugim.com.mx > > > > |

I have updated the SqueakMap entries for OSProcess, CommandShell, and TimeZoneDatabase so far. I also added a new SqueakMap entry for the SystemTracing package, which can now be used to produce a fully-functioning 64-bit image version of the new Squeak 4.3 release image. Dave |
