Porting Swazoo to GST

Hi,

Would anyone be willing to help me making that port? I think GST would
profit a lot with Swazoo, because it will enable porting Aida and
Seaside too.

I heard that GST already has a web server but I think Swazoo have
benefits here because it is portable and web frameworks above are then
easily portable and maintained.

Best regards
JAnko

Yes, why not.  In the meanwhile, I would like to contribute the
NetServer package back to Swazoo if it helps (see
http://sblinn.jottit.com/gnu_smalltalk_netclients-based_echo_server for
an example).

Hi Paolo,

Definitively worth looking at it, because it shows a way to do a HTTP in
GST. And I'm always looking for even better ways to increase Swazoo
performance as it is now.

By the way, what is a Sport portability library status on GST currently?

Super! Then in theory you should just file-in Swazoo to GST!
Swazoo code is supposed to be dialect neutral, and its SUnit tests have
a good
coverage of most functionality. When those tests pass, Swazoo port is
almost finished.

So, will someone try this exercise? :)

Swazoo for Squeak and VW is here: http://www.swazoo.org/download.html

Janko

Usually, what I do is extract the snapshot.st file from mcz and run a
script I call gst-squeak, like this:

   gst-squeak snapshot.st swazoo.st

Here is gst-squeak:

#! /bin/sh
gst-convert -f squeak \
   -r'MessageSend->DirectedMessage' \
   -r'(``@object ifNil: ``@arg ifNotNil: [ | `@t2 | `@.s2 ] )->

If anyone finds more rewrites to be necessary, please report them here.
