HI guys
I was rambling.... so I looked at other frameworks (RIO, FileMan) and I prefer
FS.
So I will start to write again comments, continue to reorganize the current
structure.
I was in contact with colin that told me that he found the improved version
that he was doing after ESUG.
I asked him to publish it into filesystem
I will integrate the fixes of damien.
I would like to have
- a better help (already there).
- Rename workingDirectory as workingDirectoryPath
- add workingDirectory returning a FSReference
- Every method with an adequate comment. The idea is that the comment
should describe what the method does when we do not see its
body: let us try to think a bit in JavaDoc or Ruby Yard fashion for
once.
- Use rename primitives
- Have the possibility to create empty file
- Clean identification of implementation tests and black box tests
- Integrate Gemstone fixes
- Stream usage clearly identified to support Gemstone migration)
- Onion like structure so that we can have one or two packages that are
really the core
(yes I still want a minimal kernel).
- Check the file API creation:
old, new, exist....
- Prepare a migration path for 1.3
- Fix filesystem workingDirectory isWorkingDirectory returns false.
- rename fileDoesNotExist: and friends do convey that its goal is
mainly to raise en exception
raiseFileDoesNotExistsFor:
Of course I would like to avoid to throw away all that good energy so I hope to
collaborate with colin.
We will see what will happen. I can understand that he has another agenda/time
frame but we should
move on this front. So all my code will be publicly available in the
SqueakSource/fs repository.
If you think that this is the wrong path, let me know.
I will report my changes regularly.
Stef
