[Pharo 5] Action needed: check issues for "Pharo5" milestone

Marcus Denker-4
Hi,

We are down to 38 open issues that have the “Pharo5” Milestone:

        https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/filters/125/5-0-All


It is now very important that we decide which of them we have to fix for being able to release
Pharo5.

It would be nice if *everyone* would have a look who is subscribed to the mailing list.
(even if you think you can do nothing or that you input is not important).

I just change the Milestone of all “would be nice” Cases. I added a note:

        As announced 1.5 weeks ago: we are very close to the date of release for Pharo5.
        This issue is priority "Would be nice."

        Yes, it would be nice, but it would be even nicer to release Pharo5 :-)

        ==> I have put the issue on Milestone "Later". If this was a mistake (or if you have a fix),
        please put it back to "Pharo5" *and* change Priority to "Must Fix”.

Status: 29 open issues.

Re: [Pharo 5] Action needed: check issues for "Pharo5" milestone

Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list
There are several issues with the ImageCleaner, but I did not recognize any of them in the filter link mentioned.

In a shiny new image with version 50695, if I execute:

ImageCleaner cleanUpForProduction

I get alternating growl notifications saying:

Information
Missing example dependency
GTDummyExamplesInvalid class>>a

and:

Information
Missing example dependency
GTDummyExamplesInvalid class>>b:

Once it finishes, after about 30 minutes, I get a MNU in #actOnHighlightAndEvaluate:
because some textMorph shoutStyler is nil.

I am not even sure if those warnings and errors will cause trouble later, because the bigger problem still is, that after all that, the image size is exactly the same.

I am not sure if this should be reported as a Pharo bug, or several, or if this is a VM bug and should be reported somewhere else.
Or maybe the ImageCleaner is not considered "Core Pharo" and I should stop complaining, but if it will not be supported, then it maybe better not to include it in the base image.

End of my rant.
How/where should I ask for this to be included in the priority list?

Thanks!

the error should be fixed. Can you add an issue?

For the size. yes, the VM does not yet compact the Image. This is known, but we can either a) not release Pharo5 and wait for this to get fixed or b) release Pharo5 and later update the VM.
We decided for a), because we can not have a finished Pharo5 sitting around for an indefinite amount of time… 

The issue is here:
