ViDI Error: glx not supported

Hi Rafael,

thank you for your interest in ViDI. I have not used Pharo on Linux, but I hope that soon we will find a solution for this :)

What is Vidi  ? cant find it in smalltalkhub

Hi Kilon,

ViDI is a tool I’m developing to review the code. I host it on github: https://github.com/Uko/Vidi/

great work Yuriy looks very impressive definitely will give it a try. Another toy for my collection and very productive one it seems :)

Thank you Kilon.

ViDI is still under heavy development, but your feedback is much appreciated :).

Feel free to open bug reports and feature requests at: https://github.com/Uko/Vidi/issues

As you can see, my first beta tester Roberto Minelli discovered a lot of these.

thats one of the great things about github is how easy it is to report issues and problem and engage the developers into discussion without having to detract attention to a mailing list. You can even attach pull requests to issues that offer code for solving these problems. So yes I will be definitely reporting back any issues I have , maybe even send you a few pull requests if the fix is easy for me to do. 

Thanks Kilon. And yes, you are right, github in fact provides a lot of features, but out git support is not mature enough. Maybe one day everyone will migrate…

I’m not comparing Monticello and Git, I’m just saying that we don’t have tools to work with git that could be easily used by all users.

frankly I dont consider Pharo versioning system as mature as git and github. For example how git is doing branches and monticello is doing them, or comparing pharo slices to git pull requests. Then you have also tons of tools on the market that are very efficient at managing git with no equivalent tools in pharo. I could not even use monticello if I had not read the PBE. Never opened a manual using SmartGit. But on the other hand people are free to use whatever makes them comfortable and I dont think we need to wait for everyone to migrate to git and github or other versioning systems. At least for me git already works great with Pharo.

Maybe its time for me to make a video tutorial about it and lift the myth that is not dead easy to use git with pharo. Right not it :)

Yes, we definitely need more tutorials. I’ll appreciate git-related video.
