All,
building on top of Johan's work I built kind of a squeaksource CDN. This
CDN mirrors squeaksource daily and should provide fast access to all
packages using "nearby" edge location. Before making this public I'd
like to get some feedback on it's speed and reliability - especially if
you are far away (in terms of hops and bandwidth) from the real
squeaksource server.
So if you can spare some time please drop me a mail and I'll send you
further details.
Thanks,
Udo

Hi All,
Alex notified me that there were some mails flying around here about the
squeaksource mirror. I'm usually not on this mailing list because of its high
volume. I'd like to gather some questions that have been raised in the last few
days (thanks Nabble!) and give answers / share my thoughts. I'll try to keep it
brief.
- How to use the mirror. If you don't know or tend to forget, just point a web
browser at http://dsal.cl/squeaksource Everything is explained there. Write the
URL on a post-it, add it to your browers favorites or whatever ;-) Just
remember http://dsal.cl/squeaksource
- Mirror not complete: It is supposed to be a full mirror of the public
packages on Squeaksource. We are using wget to copy everything over. If you
know of a project that misses packages, please send me a mail (personally, not
to the list is best I guess) and we will try to debug the issue.
- Pharo 1.4 / ObjectAsMethodWrapper issues: The redirect package was written
for 1.3, it uses ObjectAsMethodWrapper (i.e. method wrappers). I don't know why
ObjectAsMethodWrapper (apparently) is no longer in 1.4 but I would highly
recommend including it as it is a very useful package. I thought even the
profiler used it. In any case, I welcome any contributions on how to make it
work for 1.4
- Friendler configuration / user interface / having it in the core image / ...:
I am all for it, but I cannot dedicate the time to this right now. All help is
welcome and highly appreciated. I guess that some of you must be much more
knowledgeable at preferences settings/user interfaces et al. so what would take
you 10 minutes would take me a day ...
I subscribed to the list now BTW so any comments/questions simply hit reply :-)
