Hi,
in preparation of upcoming Pharo 6 release we already should do a pass on
all our external loadable projects:
- load them into Pharo 6 to see if they could be loaded cleanly
(due to automatic transformation of deprecated messages your packages
get dirty when converted)
- check if they are already/still working in Pharo 6 by using them
- check that the tests are running in Pharo 6
- check that we have a proper config with catalog methods and
that the latest config is in the MetaRepoForPharo60 repository
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo60
I did a pass over most projects I implemented or contributed to
and we now have much more Pharo 6 based projects in catalog:
- Units, Artefact
- EventRecorder, Bugzilla, PunQlite, HubCap, VistaCursors, INIFile
- Pomodoro, DesktopManager, QuickAccess, WebBrowser, MessageFlowBrowser
- ScriptManager (now with icons)
- Tealight, Teapot, Nginx, NPMJS, GitHubAPI, FogBugz
- OSWindows, OSOSX, OSUnix, OSLinuxCentOS, OSLinuxUbuntu, OSRaspbian
- ...
You should do the same with your projects!
Also if you have a project on SqueakSource, STHub or GitHub that
is not yet in the catalog it would be good to provide a ConfigurationOf...
with a catalog description. Using Versionner it is easy to create one
or generate the required catalog methods.
This would give more visibility to your projects!
Thanks
T.
