Re: The Trunk: Morphic-cmm.1484.mcz

David T. Lewis
All menu options in Tools and Apps open some kind of tool or app.
The #ensureRecentMetacello and #installGitInfrastructure actions
are things that I want to do, not tools that I want to open.

I expect it could be updated to open a Metacello browser after the
#ensureMetacello.

Hi, Chris.

Just no. ;-) 

The Tools menu is *not* about installing tools but starting them. Also, the "Do" menu is *not* for newcomers but for somewhat experienced programmers that are able to write and use small scripts to optimize the own workflow.

Just look at what is already in the Tools or Do menu and you can easily see these inherent characteristics. Please try to explain your decisions with more details. What is your perspective on the Tools menu?

For newcomers, they can evaluate a snippet in the workspace that includes installing such infrastructure. Just copy-and-paste from a readme.md or similar. Quite simple.

In the long term, we should find ways to ship such infrastructure in releases without spoiling the (development) trunk.

Best,
Marcel

Sorry, that was my compromise proposal in the other thread.

Thank you Chris for considering to keep the items around somewhere. But it seems the discussion of where to put them is not over yet.

But if the infrastructure that "spoils" the trunk are development tools, why would you exempt them from the *development* trunk?

Hi Jakob,

I think it's related to source.squeak.org and the way code can be managed in the Trunk. We would have to practically clone/copy external projects into the Trunk repo and maintain them ourselves. And be very careful to not make changes that are not reflected in the (external) project repository. Kind of confusing.

Best,
Marcel

Ah so you didn't mean to exempt packages from Trunk images although the packages are part of a release image, but to not include these packages in the Trunk Monticello repository (spoiling that). Did I get that right?

Hi guys,

Marcel, we had a good discussion in the other thread (The Inbox:
System-cmm.1059.mcz) which led to this temporary solution acceptable
with at least Jakob and I.

> The Tools menu is *not* about installing tools but starting them.

I was under the assumption Metacello has a browser and intend for that
menu item to open a Metacello browser after the #ensureMetacello.
That preserves what Jakob wanted while one-upping the IDE
functionality we have today.

> Also, the "Do" menu is *not* for newcomers but for somewhat experienced programmers that are able to write and use small scripts to optimize the own workflow.

Rather than disagree about what it is, perhaps we can agree that it
_isn't_ a place for configuration within release image.  These tools
deserve a better place than the Do menu, and Squeak deserves to have
one unified way to load anything.  This takes it from three to two.

> Just look at what is already in the Tools or Do menu and you can easily see these inherent characteristics. Please try to explain your decisions with more details. What is your perspective on the Tools menu?

My perspective is that SCM "tools" like Simple and Dual Change sorter,
Monticello and Monticello Configurations are available under the Tools
menu.  It therefore makes sense to me that the next-level SCM tool
built on top of Monticello would be right there, too.  Does Metacello
have a browser at all, or will it?

> For newcomers, they can evaluate a snippet in the workspace that includes installing such infrastructure. Just copy-and-paste from a readme.md or similar. Quite simple.

Agreed, and I would even store such snippets in SqueakMap.

because then I could add additional entries that contained whatever is
in the README's, and then, instead of coming back from getting coffee
to ONLY have Metacello loaded, I could have _everything_ loaded.  But
that's not my business except to the extent I want Squeak release
images to have the only the right tools in only the right places, so
its not too confusing.

> In the long term, we should find ways to ship such infrastructure in releases without spoiling the (development) trunk.

I hope you mean as dynamically-loadable modules.  The release images
are too big, IMO, we need to eventually try to get some things out
(Etoys) so we can make room to bring more appropriate (core) stuff in.

I do not agree that the temporary solution discussed below is acceptable.

Perhaps it is best if I just state exactly what I think should be done:

  1) Revert Morphic-cmm.1484. Do this by publishing Morphic-XXX.1485
  to roll back the changes.
 
  2) Put the original two doIt methods back into the Do menu. Do
  this by publishing System-XXX.1062 to add the two entries back
  into the common request string, or just revert back to the prior
  version.

My rationale is based on the following:

  1) The menu items do not belong in Tools, as previously explained.

  2) The entries in the Do menu were added to support university
  students using Squeak for the first time. This is important.

Hi Dave, we're discussing how to integrate these tools into the IDE
more elegantly.  I'd like to hear your thoughts on how we can do that.
So far, after much discussion, FIVE proposals* have made it to the
table, at least one of which is good with both Jakob and I.

1. Tools or Apps menu.
2. Extending the System workspace
3.  SqueakMap
4. "ensureMetacello" at the top of README's.
5. Include all of it in trunk

I appreciate your point about the consistency of Tools items opening a
window or not, but this is benign and the Do menu is almost certainly
not the university's "final solution" to configuration of github
projects.  Its worth discussing how to elegantly include Squeak in
these projects.  Please help.

And let's add proposal

0. Keep the entries
       Installer ensureRecentMetacello.
       Installer installGitInfrastructure.
   in the 'do menu' where they have been before.
   Move
       Utilities emergencyCollapse.
       Utilities closeAllDebuggers.
to the top position in the 'do menu'.

Hi all,
I think I understand both points of view. What /I/ don't like about the two items in the Do menu is that I will only use them once, but these items will stay. After installing the Git infrastructure, I need to move over to the Tools menu, which is something you must know.
So let me add another proposal to the list:

1. Remove the two items from the Do menu.
2. Add the GitBrowser item to the Tools menu and prompt to install the Git infrastructure when the user clicks on it for the first time.
3. Add a dummy class Metacello and override doesNotUnderstand to again, prompt the user to install Metacello (and effectively replace the dummy class) when it's not found in the image. I'm sure we could make something like that work.

This way, we could get rid of the two items in the Do menu and provide their functionality when they're actually needed. Plus, we only need to maintain an item and a dummy class as part of trunk.

Maybe that's a good compromise?

I explained my preference in the last email. You can also find it in
the inbox as System-dtl.1059.

I'm quite interested in the topic of how best to use git with Squeak.
I see several different approaches in circulation now (in Cuis, in
Pharo, and the Squit/Squat tools), and it is not clear to me what is
best. Other people on the list have more experience with this than
I do, but it seems to be an evolving topic at this point.

I think that the Do menu entries are good enough for now. It's a
simple solution to a real problem, and they can be easily removed
when a better approach is established.

Dave

a.k.a., Hannes' proposal 0.

Just curious, why the class check?  MCFileBasedRepository is a
permanent resident in Squeak, and its just encoded in a String so it
doesn't create unwanted package dependency, so...?

and possibly another in the future -- GitQL -- a GraphQL based client
that interfaces directly with github's api.  Github was one of the
earliest and largest adopters of GraphQL, they have a whole team
dedicated to developing and maintaining its API.  I'm planning to look into it.

Squeak should support all which need to be supported due to legacy
projects.  So if, for example, Cuis' is the best, filetree projects
still need to be supported at least until they can convert, but
probably forever anyway.

Agree, but the only way a better approach will be established, or the
evolving topic evolve, is with positive energy that moves things
forward.

Yes.

You're right, it's not a real dependency. It would only fail at runtime,
which would be fairly self-explanatory. So maybe the class check should
not be done here.

Hi,

this commit has added a new reference from Morphic to Installer package, so
the PackageDependencyTest complains. Shall I add the package to the expected
dependencies in #testMorphic?

In the long term, we should move TheWorldMainDockingBar to "Tools" or "MorphicExtras" or "System".
