Perfect, hardly waiting on that :) Can you do a preliminary port of Aida
too (at least filein the code) , then send me a Cuis image to continue?
Yes, sure, only tell me the exact version and packages that I should filein.
Also, if you have some non-important issues yet to solve on Swazoo and
Sport, just skip them for now. We can solve them later and in parallel
with porting Aida.
I think that one or two are really not important, related with the port of TimeStamp that don't exist in Cuis.
But I'm rewriting some Swazoo methods that use #fork and #forkAt: because in Cuis these methods do not return the process.
Juan explained me that is a thing discussed in Squeak list in a moment of a non trivial bug that was finally founded and solved by Andreas Raab (RIP). Seems that the recommendation is not use #fork and #forkAt:, instead use #newProcess, save it in a variable and then use #resume. In Cuis, #fork and #forkAt: return nil.
And the other problem is that I'm having some freezes in the image sometimes, after saved. I must try with a new, fresh image, installing all again, and debugging a bit.
I think that is not ready still, let me some more time to have the things working and repeteable between images.
Germán.
Best regards
Janko
