1) What is the best way to get a full, proper Pier
installed in 3.9 or 3.10?
It is actually quite simple to load manually. You load Seaside (and
the required dependencies), then Magritte-Core, Magritte-Seaside,
Pier-Core, Pier-Seaside, and the plugins and Pier-All.
and.. 2) What are the intentions of the Pier
developers, going
forward, for support of the standard Squeak images?
Magritte and Pier probably work in both Pharo and Squeak, in fact the
code runs almost identical on GemStone and VisualWorks. I haven't
tried in Squeak in the past, but I guess it should work there too. I
am certainly willing to include patches if they improve portability,
but I will am not actively maintaining a port to Squeak.
I realize you cannot make any guarantee's any more
than I can, but may
I at least know what the *intentions* are (as I just have)? Lukas, it
looks like you are moving forward with Pharo. But is standard Squeak
compatibility a factor for you at all in any of your decisions
regarding Pier going forward?
The situation is basically the same as for Seaside. Somebody needs to
step up and actively maintain a port, regularly run the tests and
report back problems. For me Squeak is just a platform like VW,
GemStone, GST, VAST, ... for now I chose Pharo as my development
platform of choice.
Cheers,
Lukas
