[Moose-dev] Re: Moose on Pharo 5

Hi, Will we be able to push some patches/features to the 5.1 version of Moose easily ?

The initial issue is still there. I just removed some versions from ConfigurationOfGlamour - there is a strange issue with ConfigurationOfRubric and monticello. I still have no idea what is the cause of this bug, but Rubric gets updated correctly. So I would not say it's a show stopper. So I think we can release.

In any company that produces a sizable software system there is at least one person dedicated to versioning, building, and packaging. Unfortunately, the setting used by Moose is still far from optimal. It would be nice to improve this, and this has to be done with a positive energy.

We go through the (painful) trouble of creating stable versions exactly because we want to offer the alternative of depending on something that does not change. But, if someone wants support this will be provided on the latest Moose because this is where the development activity is. This will happen on the latest Pharo because especially now that GT is adopted in Pharo, the development effort is too close to be practical to support two different branches. Before Moose 5.0 we tried for a while to maintain GT for both Pharo 3 and deal with changes in Pharo 4 and we do not want to go through this again. This might change if the tool support changes. Now, if someone wants to backport changes to an older Moose version, we can put in place a separate repository that can host those backported changes.

As Usman explained, we cannot test again each morning every single feature we already implemented for every language we support. So having a bleeding edge Moose for us is not a solution nicolas On 11/05/2015 11:12, Usman Bhatti wrote: Hi, In Synectique's case, we had several problems working with Bleeding edge of Moose: 1/ changes to the API 2/ changes that lead to performance problems 3/ when depending on bleeding edge of Pharo always testing the combo Pharo + Moose The first one is important because one does not want to spend resources adapting to inadvertent changes. And it is easy to handle as one can always depend on a given version number (not a stable because it is moving and may create surprises that are less frequent than the bleeding edge). Regarding changes that lead to performance issues, someone must test with real cases and evaluate. Depending on the version number works fine here too. We would not have needed to create our own configuration if we could downgrade PetitParser but apparently, that is not possible and hence the easier solution was to create our own configuration. The ConfigurationOfSynectiqueMoose is just an assembly of existing versions of the components in Moose (these versions are published publicly). We just loading by hand: -> SmallDude because it has a dependency on ConfigurationOfMoose -> GT-Toolkit and PetitSQL because there were paths leading to PetitParser #development. As for Moose depending on the bleeding edge of Pharo, it is risky business because when demoing or delivering a new version to a client, the red square of death is difficult to justify. With the stable version, we at least know where not to click :p. But one is not testing new combinations (coming from Pharo + Moose) in production. But if there are alternate solutions in our eco-system that enable the use of bleeding edge in production that shield the users from inadvertent changes, it'll be nice to know. regards, Usman On Thu, May 7, 2015 at 11:03 PM, Tudor Girba &lt;tudor(a)tudorgirba.com&gt; wrote: Hi, Yes, I think we have a different point of view on what Moose is. I do not expect people to fork, but if they do, I would expect them to do it in a public place and help us maintain the configuration(s). For example, we could have: - a Moose/Moose51 repository - commit packages with new patches for Moose 5.1 only there, and - modify the #stable version corresponding configurations to load those new packages. This is doable. Would that be Ok? Cheers, Doru On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 9:43 PM, stepharo &lt;stepharo(a)free.fr&gt; wrote: Just a question. Do you expect people needing to have stable version to fork and work in their corners? I do not get why Moose dev should systematically be under the bleeding edge of Pharo. I probably do not understand what Moose is. Stef Le 5/5/15 19:17, Tudor Girba a écrit : Please do not do this until we release. The reason is that this will generate more commits that will be specific to pharo 5, like the current substring problem in get inspector. The goal is to release this or next week, and then we move to pharo 5.
