Zinc and GemStone2.4

I've just completed a port of the Zinc HTTP Server[1] to GemStone 2.4.x.

The port is based on GLASS 1.0-beta.9, which includes the Metacello Preview (scripting api and git/github support). GLASS 1.0-beta.9 will remain in development until the Zinc/Zodiac ports are complete and we've load tested the system.

We still need to add an ObjectLog-based ZnLogListener[3], review server stack for GemStone/Seaside[4], and port the secondary packages[2].

My current plan is to start work on porting Zinc to GemStone 3.1 followed by a port of Zodiac[5] to GemStone 3.1 then a heavy dose of load testing and finally backfill any remaining issues.

If you want to take Zinc for spin, there are installation instructions in the README[1]. Submit any issues/questions on the glassdb/zinc issue list[6].

If you want to take a crack at any of the outstanding issues or help with the porting efforts, feel free to fork the glassdb/zinc repository and dig in.

PS: many thanks to Sven Van Caekenberghe for his work on creating Zinc and Paul DeBuicker for his work on the initial port.

Hi Dale,

I'm trying to pick up this thread with the intention to pick up some work on Zinc in GS.

I've followed the readme instructions on https://github.com/glassdb/zinc but I'm getting an error executing the load of Zinc:

In MCFileTreeStCypressReader>>methodSelectorFor: there is message_not_understood: ChangeList does not implement #parseSelector:

Currently browsing if I should load additional changes but maybe it rings a bell with you.

I'm still in 2.4 btw ;-)

Johan,

I assume that the problem is related to the fact that zinc was ported using GLASS 1.0-beta.9 (which is under dev)[1] and I didn't update the dependencies correctly ... presumably Metacello has similar dependencies, but the config was updated correctly ...
