1) I've been using Pharo Launcher 3.2 on Windows 10 for a while and it seems
like there's a problem with launching images starting with version 11. It just
doesn't work. Any hint?
Can you provide more information so that we can see what we can do.
There's not much to say execpt that nothing happens, wherther I launch
it with settings or not. Last working images I have are Pharo 11.0.
Nothings works for Pharo 12+ !
2) On a totally different subject, is there a package to be able load
the Monticello Browser tool back into the image starting with Pharo
11? It's really annoying to deprive users from easily loading code
from all the repos still using the Monticello format!
I do not know. We do not support mcz loading.
We sincerely understand that it can be painful but we cannot rewrite all the
old tools.
Embrace Git and Iceberg is a super nice tool for that.
We are working on removing morphic and this is a large effort.
If you want I can pair program with you to port one of your projects to github.
Maybe the solution would be to have Monticello loadable as a standalone
package ! How do you guys port stuff from SqueakSource to Pharo? May
be someone in the Pharo community has an easy recipe to do that! Guys?
Anyone? Suggestions?
3) Finally, is there a preferred ***central*** repository to store Pharo code?
Something like Squeaksource was, or RubyGems (for Ruby) or Cincom Public
Repository (VisualWorks Smalltalk) ?
We always wanted to do that but we got stuck launching a market place.
The idea is that you publish your code anywhere you want on github, gitlab….
and you publish a description of such project in the marketplace.
We did not have the manpower to launch this project. If you want to help we can
tell
you what we designed: the simplest thing that could work - a git repo.
Now christophe should have the information somewhere.
I understand. It`s just a fantasy/dream/wish that things would be much
easier to find if, like the Cuis repo or SqueakSource or SS3 or
SmalltalkHub, everything would be in one place. At least, regardless of
what repo you use, a central page with package descriptions that would
like to the proper location
