yes keep it there
we have too much mailing-lists
So can you do a unix/windows VM with the freeType pluging?

Igor,
Do you have a mailing list on Hydra?
I think it is important to initiate the creation of a community
around this
idea.
You may use googlecode for that.
there is not much activity in this area, worth creating new mailing
list.
Currently, i using squeak-dev or vm-dev mailing list for news &
announcements.
I asked community, maybe it is OT, but nobody complained about it,
instead they want it there. :)
Cheers,
Alexandre

Well, as i said, putting FreeType into VM is simple thing.
But maintaining a code base or regular basis is completely
different
thing. I'm not sure i have enough spare time to do this now.
First, because i'm busy with Hydra VM.
Second , I think you are aware, that Cog & Hydra will merge in
future.
Before this happens, i have little interest in supporting
old-fashioned VMs :)
I planning to do a major refactoring in Hydra, after which , an
Interpreter/ObjectMemory can be simulated in image. But this
will have
a major impact on backward compatibility.
But for minor changes, like in some plugins, it not hurts a lot. I
think that, if you planning to maintain own VM, then i'll advice
to
split VMMaker package on two separate parts:
- VM core
- all plugins
Because VM is a big code bloat , which is hard to manipulate with.
Also, it would be good to have a common code repository, and
separate
tracker of bugs and fixes for VM/plugins, so it will make an
integration easier for all interesting parties.
could you push this idea to the VM maintainers or start to do it?
yes i could, but do you think that i have a chance to be heard and
my
point to be accepted? :)
We are talking abut that since years.
I still do not understand I thought that the svn of the vm code
was such
common
code repository?
I tried to raise this topic on board meeting, concerning status of
VM-dev group and the answer was like:
- we already have things set up, and each maintainer know/doing
things
well.
I'm not sure about current status, but i keep feeling that VM
maintainers efforts dissipating due to lack of
communication/collaboration.
Maybe it is because i'm relatively new, and missing info about how
things was set up long ago, before i came in, maybe people really
collaborate behind the scenes, i don't know.
What i really sure about, is that , it will not hurt to call for a
status (re)clarification to know who doing what and how things
working.
