well… fthis days stay with the micro-concept of image sizes of ancient times does not looks like a reasonable approach. Lots of conditions changed and nowadays RAM is very cheap (and even tablets has enough of them) but then, there are some points to observe that can help you:
- Pharo4 will not have 32m, this is still a alpha version. It will be a lot smaller (I suppose a bit bigger than Pharo3, but not much more) - We are also producing the Pharo-minimal images as part of the process, which are stripped versions with (for now) 6m size. Of course this one does not have a lot of things that has to be reintroduced if desired (like morphic), but I think is easy to have an image smaller than 10m with all you need when going production in a tablet. now… about small is beauty. We incorporated a lot of new cool stuff (many that no one will ever notice, or use), and we need to improve in the cleaning side… there are tons of things to clean or remove there. cheers, Esteban > On 24 Nov 2014, at 21:29, Hilaire <[email protected]> wrote: > > Pharo 1.4 image = 15MB > Pharo 3 image = 22MB > Pharo4 image = 32MB > > Don't know about Pharo 2.0 as, skip it. > > Is there a limit? > > Hopefully I gave up on the idea of tablet use but aren't we loosing the > sight on small is beautiful? > > Hilaire > > -- > Dr. Geo - http://drgeo.eu > iStoa - http://istoa.drgeo.eu > >
