Hello all. It’s been a long time since I contributed to a smalltalk project, but I’d like
to start again.
I’m developing a complex website based on Pier and Magritte: https://fiberhood.nl
Even though I’ve barely started, I’ve already found several things to fix in Pier and
Magritte, and would like to submit my fixes back upstream. How should I do that? I assume
I don’t have commit access to http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Magritte and
http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pier , although I don’t really know how to tell. I’m used
to squeaksource, where it plainly says Global: Read or Global: Read and Write
My username on smalltalkhub is tapple: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~tapple

Hi !
Monticello is a distributed version control system, so you could have your
own repository on smalltalkhub to commit your modifications. In fact, given
how MC (doesn't) handles branches, it's probably the recommended way of
doing if you want experimental/development code to be clearly separate from
the official branch.
In terms of getting your changes merged in the official release, I'd
suggest discussing them on one of the Pharo lists, or on the Slack channel.
Some of the owners of the Magritte and Pier repos on sthub and recent
developers are active there and should be able to help and even review your
code or add you to the contributors.

Thank you. I uploaded my changes to http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~tapple . However, I
realized they are for an older version of pier, from before the Pillar split, so they’ll
probably be a pain to merge. I’m using this pier one-click image from lukas:
http://www.piercms.com/download (pharo 1.3). I’ve never been able to install a working
pier using metacello on any image for the past year. I tried again yesterday, and, after
another 5 failed attempts on 3 different images, finally found a working incantation:
"Instructions: Take fresh pharo 4.0 image, run the following, and pier works. Thanks
to https://www.list.inf.unibe.ch/pipermail/smallwiki/2015-December/008025.html…
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #'release3.1';
load: 'OneClick'.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Pier3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pier3/main';
version: #'release3.0';
load.
It will take me some time to merge my changes, migrate my website, and properly test
everything in a newer pier. I’ll let you know when I have.

New subject: Failed Pier Installations
For the record, here’s the installation incantations that didn’t work, in the order I
tried them:
=== In Squeak 5.0, attempt 1 ===
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #stable;
load: 'OneClick’.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Pier3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pier3/main';
version: #stable;
load.
=== In Squeak 5.0, attempt 2 ===
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #stable;
load: 'OneClick’.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Pillar';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pillar/main';
version: #stable;
load.
=== In Squeak 5.0, attempt 3 ===
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #stable;
load: 'OneClick’.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Magritte3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Magritte/Magritte3/main';
version: #stable;
load.
=== Pharo 5, attempt 1 ===
install seaside3, then pier 3, from catalog
=== Pharo 5, attempt 2 ===
install seaside3, then pillar, from catalog
=== Pharo 5, attempt 3 ===
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #stable;
load: 'OneClick'.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Magritte3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Magritte/Magritte3/main';
version: #stable;
load.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Pier3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Pier/Pier3/main';
version: #stable;
load.
=== Pharo 4, attempt 1 ===
Metacello new
configuration: 'Seaside3';
repository:
'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main';
version: #'release3.1';
load: 'OneClick'.
Metacello new
configuration: 'Magritte3';
repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Magritte/Magritte3/main';
version: #'release3.5';
load.
The final one failed in the most interesting way; it broke seaside by installing a mix of
seaside for pharo 4 and seaside for pharo 5
