Hello!
First nagging question: Is there any kind of package installer that resolves dependencies and will download any packages required by one I am trying to install? Coming from a Linux background, I am spoiled by package managers that resolve dependencies and download all needed packages and install them prior to installing the package I am looking for. At home, when I tried out the SqueakMap package browser and tried to load the ECompletions package it advised me that various classes associated with the Shout packages (which I had not installed yet) would be affected. I told it to proceed anyway, just to see what would happen. I later had to install Shout and reinstall ECompletions before keyword completion would work. Second question: Can anyone explain the types of files used by Monticello and SqueakMap, such as .mcz and .sar files? Is it possible to download these files separately and then load them from local copies? Iassume this would not be done from a filelist dialog. Third question: I am behind a firewall which uses an NTLM authenticated HTTP Proxy. While I have set up HTTPProxy preferences, I do not believe it understands NTLM authentication, and so I cannot install updates or use SqueakMap. Has anyone managed to get through this kind of HTTPProxy? It has been a long time since I last looked at Squeak and I am very impressed, particularly with Seaside. Thanks!!

Package Universes has some dependancy management.
I recommend starting with the squeak-dev images put together by Damien Cassou. http://damien.cassou.free.fr/squeak-dev.html eCompletion, Shout, and many other developer goodies are in there to start. Uses package universes to load even more. He also has a squeak-web that includes seaside, scriptaculous, shore, pier, etc. On 8/10/07, Thomas Porter <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hello! > > First nagging question: Is there any kind of package installer that > resolves dependencies and will download any packages required by one I > am trying to install? > > Coming from a Linux background, I am spoiled by package managers that > resolve dependencies and download all needed packages and install them > prior to installing the package I am looking for. > > At home, when I tried out the SqueakMap package browser and tried to > load the ECompletions package it advised me that various classes > associated with the Shout packages (which I had not installed yet) > would be affected.

Hello Thomas,
TP> Second question: TP> Can anyone explain the types of files used by Monticello and TP> SqueakMap, such as .mcz and .sar files? Is it possible to download mcz something like monticello changeset zipped. sar = Squeak archive, also something zipped. IIRC used if you want to package code and media. I have no practical experience with it but I believe Edgar is an expert on these. On both you can use any standard zip tool to take them apart. TP> these files separately and then load them from local copies? Iassume TP> this would not be done from a filelist dialog. yes, in older images where SqueakMap doesn't work anymore you actually have to download the files and install them from a local copy. FileList is one possible starting point, drag and drop into the image often works too. MCZ can be opened by a monticello browser, if you copy them into a repository MC knows. But you can see diffs and install either from FileList or drag and drop.

David,
Thanks for the advice, I have not used Package Universes yet, will give it a try. I have the squeak-dev images but have not explored it too much yet.

I take excellent ArchieveViewer of Ned , add few enh and now is easier ever build things. I do a kind of tutorial this week end, showing how we made our in forever in progress game TEG Cheers Edgar _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners |
