Dear Pharo and Ubuntu users,
Nicolas Petton and I are proud to announce Ubuntu packages for the
Pharo VM. Installing the pharo vm is now just a matter of:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cassou/pharo
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pharo-vm
With this package, you get:
- the latest pharo vm as a 'pharo' binary in the PATH
- all plugins and libraries (native boost, freetype, ssl, ...)
- file association so you can just double-click on pharo images
- pharo icons visible everywhere (on image files, on ALT+TAB...)
- PharoV10.sources and PharoV20.sources
Please fill bug reports on https://pharo.fogbugz.com.
This package is currently only available for Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal.
Fill a bug report if you want me to package it for another version of
Ubuntu.

About this release
------------------
All in all, there were over 1600 issues treated in the issue tracker
and 1350 improvements integrated into 2.0.
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=Milestone%3D2.0+status%3…
Read it again, yes 1350 is huge, take two minutes and have a look at the list of
improvements! Now you got the feel of the effort. And this was a true community
effort. It is possible because people worldwide helped! We want to deeply thank them.
We want to thank Inria for its constant support, in particular for the salary of Igor
Stasenko and Esteban Lorenzano, and for the help in the infrastructure.
We have accomplished this huge task for a better system because we were together. Do not
forget that we are working on a consortium to support our system:
- http://consortium.pharo.org (for companies and organizations)
- http://association.pharo.org (for individuals)
Our goal is to build a system so that we can make a living with our creativity and
programming skills.
You can find information about Pharo on http://www.pharo-project.org. In particular,
you may be interested in:
- Joining us and getting help http://www.pharo-project.org/community
- Getting the Pharo By Example book (available as a free PDF): http://www.pharobyexample.org
- Watching the screencasts http://www.pharocasts.com
- Reporting problems http://www.pharo-project.org/community/issue-tracking
- Reading the forth coming book http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/pbe2
- Reading the Pharo vision document http://bit.ly/HNkEru
Thanks a lot for your participation, energy and fun.

Hi,
(sorry for the cross-post, but I was not quite sure where to send it)
In Grease-Core, there are a couple of String extensions (trimBoth, trimBoth:, trimLeft, trimLeft: trimRight, trimRight:, trimLeft:right:) that already exist in Pharo 2.0.
I would like to remove them and let platform-specific extension packages add them if needed. Unfortunately, I do not have an account for the www.squeaksource.com/Seaside30.html repository.
Can anyone give me access to the repository?
Cheers,
Doru

Hi,
I believe the recently announced Gutemberg project could be merge with
Pier-Book. What do you think?

Hi,
Stéphane and I have been working on Gutemberg, a tool that converts
books written using the Pier syntax to PDF documents and HTML pages.
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~DamienCassou/Pier-Gutemberg
This project is partially supported by ESUG http://www.esug.org/.
We are proud to announce the first alpha version of Gutemberg. This
alpha version has a nearly-complete PDF exporter and a
basically-working HTML exporter.
We use Inria infrastructure to build one example book:
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/.
The long term goal is to facilitate collaborative book editing. We
don't want to impose a web browser and an active Internet connection.

OK, sounds good. I'll be looking at the list, and will let you know if I
can take some of the issues.

Hi Doru,
Would it be possible to provide more precision on the kind of deployment
issues you have observed, and how would you like to get help in
addressing them.

Reza

Hi,
I migrated one site to the latest Pier. It looked quite fine locally, but when deployed, all sorts of problems popped up to the point that it is hardly useable.
If anyone is interested in joining forces to track things down, please let me know.

"It's not what we do that matters most, it's how we do it."
Dear all,
first of all I have to admit that I obviously do not fully understand how PIER deals with external files. Ive developed a (non-commercial) website which I want to run via www.seasidehosting.st a really great service.
Ive added Randomizer to my website and it works with static files/resources that Ive uploaded to the resources directory on the seasidehosting server. So far so good - but I still have a problem with a CSS-File that I have created for the website. In my development environment (on my computer) everything looks good. After uploading the image to the seasidehosting server some things (e.g. the main menu) looks very different. Obviously I didnt connect my CSS-file correctly to the uploaded PIER-image.
Do I have to apply the FileLibrary for getting the access to the CSS-file? Within the setting-area for the PIER-components only local files can be specified for the associated CSS-files.
Ive tried so many things up to now with no result so I would be really grateful for any help in this matter.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes
Carl
