7:35 a.m.
and I've noticed that Pier has a number of direct
references to the WAKom
class:
PRSegmentPersistency>>cleanupKom (WAKom is Undeclared)
Ok, I fixed this in Pier-Pharo-Persistency-lr.9.
PRDistribution>>register (WAKom is Undeclared)
PRDistribution>>register (WAKomEncoded is Undeclared)
I was wondering if these references were intentional or historical. I can
add explicit dependencies (or the code can be changed or the packages
refactored or ...)...For GemStone I had to do pretty major surgery on the
PRDistribution class because there is a lot of Pharo-specific code there so
it's worth thinking about GemStone if there's more work done than just
testing for the existence of the class ...
I think these references are historical.
While I'm on the subject I noticed that PRLoader
has a dependency on
OBSystemBrowserAdaptor, which basically means that all of OmniBrowser needs
to be loaded to bring in Pier-Setup ...
PRLoader class>>setProperPreferences (OBSystemBrowserAdaptor is Undeclared)
Now that we've created the 'Base' group for Seaside3.0 I suppose we'll
be
seeing more of these kinds of dependencies revealed...
The code in the Pier-Distribution package was made to build and
initialize the Pharo one-click images, I don't think that it was ment
to be portable to other platforms. Probably that should be fixed
though.
