An FTP repo is a good alternative for private projects. Esteban uses that I think.

Thanks,
do nothing, just wait and see until SqueakSource turns completely unusable. I don't know if people won't noticed or don't want to admit it, but SqueakSource is down very often lately.. 2011/2/21 Fabrizio Perin <[hidden email]>: > SqueakSource is up and running.

Well more or less every 10 days i need to restart it. This discussion happen already in different threads but again the problems are:
1- The machine hosting squeaksource is an old mac. Maybe on a new machine running linux it could be better.
2- SqueakSource is running in a squeakimage on a SqueakVM 3.9 (if i'm not wrong - anyway is very old stuff) and as far as i get, a porting to a more recent environment (let say a pharo 1.3 on a cog vm) will mean to rewrite entirely squaeksource.
Now, this is a well know problem and a lot of people is already moving to solve it (surely you can find lots of email from Stephan talking about this). I'm trying to keep the system alive. Cheers, Fabrizio

how about a file based system and git?

Come on. We are talking about quality of service here, or about
changing the service? I don't think that after migrating to (put your favorite here), we won't have any new problems. And then same, lack of people who can address them.

I don't know if we have to change to another kind of service. But we MUST have alternatives.

Hi,
I'm already working in a file based solution... it will be ready for test next one or two months :) There are some advantages I want to point: - Better for newcomers - Better for customers who "want to see the sources" (yes, I have some of them, time to time) - We don't need to take care about infrastructure anymore, just use one already existing (like Github) - Increases Pharo visibility in the web (this is really important, IMHO) - "Hybrid" projects (with external files) like VM, for instance, and many Seaside projects, can have just one source point (so tags, etc. has no need to be manually matched with monticello repository). - the solution I'm building (not just me, this is with a friend of mine who does not participate in the list) can work together with monticello, so you can have your sources "frozen" in the disk (and commit to git), and create a monticello version if you need it :) - We will use coral source format to keep files in disk, so they will be more readable than current file-out format (well, this can take a little more than two months, because I'm still understanding it) On the disadvantages... - Most important (because of the "smalltalk culture", mostly) is the fact we loose the "all in smalltalk" thing...but that's not an issue IMHO. Pharo community is a lot more open than others, and we already are using some non-smalltalk tools (like hudson for building and google for tracking) - Yes, merging, etc. can be harder, but I think using a nice file format can lower this impact (and we are still supporting image-to/from-file merging). A couple of years ago some guys released SqueakSVN, as an alternative, but it failed to become an option... I think because SVN was already old at that time, and also because installation, etc. was hard, and also because it was an "incomplete" work, I think. Anyway... I'm doing this stuff because I need it, and I hope some others will consider it useful :) So... well... stay in touch ;) cheers, Esteban pd: yes... I know... I'm currently handling more projects than I can do... and that delays all my projects... but I'm doing my best, and any help is welcome :) El 21/02/2011, a las 1:55p.m., Guillermo Polito escribió: I don't know if we have to change to another kind of service.

But the problem is that we have no alternatives, and if we want some, we have to build them :). It's not just about complaining and waiting for the others to solve our problems.

Discussing alternatives is a start for a solution, and as I've seen
from the posts above we have alternatives, we do not have consensus. 2011/2/21 Guillermo Polito <[hidden email]>: > But the problem is that we have no alternatives, and if we want some, we > have to build them :).

Hi Esteban,
I look forward to testing it :) BTW, SqueakSource is not the problem for me (we have a HTTP repository). The MC speed is what bothers us most... I just responded in this thread since the idea was mentioned by Camillo. I know that other people are more attached to the "Smalltalk way" of doing things and prefer staying with MC, but I think we should seriously consider alternatives (as you apparently already do). I believe that closing the gap between the file-based languages and Smalltalk is possible without giving up too much...

FWIW, Git is a very generic system. There's no reason we couldn't
write a storage adapter for MC that puts the repo in Git. Git only knows about objects, and the versions thereof. We could easily have Monticello on top of git. I'm not sure I think it's a good solution, but it sounds like something fun to hack on, if someone wants to join me.

I know that other people are more attached to the "Smalltalk way" of doing things and prefer staying with MC, but I think we should seriously consider alternatives (as you apparently already do). I believe that closing the gap between the file-based languages and Smalltalk is possible without giving up too much... > > Cheers, > Adrian > > On Feb 21, 2011, at 18:52 , Esteban Lorenzano wrote: > >> Hi, >> I'm already working in a file based solution... it will be ready for test next one or two months :) >> >> There are some advantages I want to point: >> - Better for newcomers >> - Better for customers who "want to see the sources" (yes, I have some of them, time to time) >> - We don't need to take care about infrastructure anymore, just use one already existing (like Github) >> - Increases Pharo visibility in the web (this is really important, IMHO) >> - "Hybrid" projects (with external files) like VM, for instance, and many Seaside projects, can have just one source point (so tags, etc. has no need to be manually matched with monticello repository). >> - the solution I'm building (not just me, this is with a friend of mine who does not participate in the list) can work together with monticello, so you can have your sources "frozen" in the disk (and commit to git), and create a monticello version if you need it :) >> - We will use coral source format to keep files in disk, so they will be more readable than current file-out format (well, this can take a little more than two months, because I'm still understanding it) >> >> On the disadvantages... >> - Most important (because of the "smalltalk culture", mostly) is the fact we loose the "all in smalltalk" thing...but that's not an issue IMHO.

I think because SVN was already old at that time, and also because installation, etc. was hard, and also because it was an "incomplete" work, I think. Anyway... I'm doing this stuff because I need it, and I hope some others will consider it useful :) >> So... well... stay in touch ;) >> >> cheers, >> Esteban >> >> pd: yes... I know...
