Sport 2.031 with image startup/shutdown support

Dear Smaltalkers,

I published a new Sport portability library which has now a portable
support for image startup and shutdown tasks. This is useful for any
cleanup you want to o before image is quit and for any work after image
is started. For instance, a Swazoo web server will restart all its
websites automatically after image start with help of those Sport
startup methods.

See class SpEnvironment, class methods in 'image startup/shutdown'

Usage example:

- SpEnvironment addImageStartupTask: [anObject restart] for: anObject
- SpEnvironment addImageShutdownTask: [anObject stop] for: anObject

You can find it on SqueakSource and Cincom public repository for VW.

Best regards
Janko

Janko,

Thanks for that.

In future, I would like to ask that extensions to Sport be discussed
on comp.lang.smalltalk before they are added in and released.

We are reaching the point where any change to Sport will affect many
people and will require action from a number of other Sport developers
to keep the Sport API consistently implemented.

Of course discussing things up front may slow the speed with which
Sport can change, but perhaps that is a good thing at this point.

All the best,
Bruce
