[Moose-dev] Re: Freezing version Moose-based tools

Hi guys I finished to find a stupid bug today. Now the moose reloader works. The idea is that you can freeze a complete Moose tools and be able to take a 1.4 image and reload all the packages that were loaded when you snapshot it. I could reload the latest version of Moose in a 1.4 image. I published the result on ConfigurationOfMoose. Gofer new url: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/StephaneDucasse/MooseReloader/main' username: '' password: ''; package: 'ReloaderForMoose'; load Here is the comment of this class. I'm a kind of saver/loader that knows how to save and load list of packages by recursively navigating metacello configurationOf. To work I need a metacello record and a place to save package version. Here are examples to create a spec of packages to be saved. =========================================== In an image containing the loaded configuration of the tools you want to version execute the following: Reloader new configurationRecordInput: (((Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfMoose) project version: 'default') ignoreImage: true; record) ; repositoryClass: MooseConfigurationRepositoryForPharo14; publishNewVersion Reloader new configurationRecordInput: (((Smalltalk globals at: #ConfigurationOfMoose) project version: 'default') ignoreImage: true; record) ; repositoryClass: ConfigurationOfMoose; publishNewVersion It will produce a method called scriptXxx in the repositoryClass you specify. Here is an example of such method. script5 ^ #( #('ConfigurationOfFame-StephaneDucasse.6.mcz' 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Fame/' 'ConfigurationOfFame' ) #('ConfigurationOfMooseAlgos-TudorGirba.28.mcz' 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MooseAlgos/' 'ConfigurationOfMooseAlgos' ) ...... ) You can then use this method as follows, for example in a ConfigurationOf you can flatVersion47: spec <version: '4.7-flat'> spec for: #common do: [ self populateSpec: spec with: self script5 ] Note that the populateSpec: with: is generated when necessary. Reloading. =================================== In another image you can reload the configuration in two different ways: either by using metacello or by using the reloader. Using metacello is simple if you created a method similar to flatVersion47: spec <version: '4.7-flat'> spec for: #common do: [ self populateSpec: spec with: self script5 ] just execute (ConfigurationOfMoose project version: '4.7-flat') load If you do not use a configurationOf you can simply invoke the method reload: with the number of the script using the method reload: aNumber and it will load all the packages you previously specified. reloadLatest will load the latest script version Typical use cases are: ------------------------------------ Reloader new repositoryClass: MooseConfigurationRepositoryForPharo14; reload: 2 Reloader new repositoryClass: SynectiqueCaseOneConfigurationRepository; publishNewVersion Reloader new repositoryClass: SynectiqueCaseOneConfigurationRepository; loginSpecification: {{ '*squeaksource*' . 'sd' . 'xyxyx'} . { '*ss3*' . 'StephaneDucasse' . 'xxxx'} . { '*' . '' . ''}}; reload: 2 =================================================== Implementation Notes. First version fully working on metacello records. Let me know if it works for you.
