Hi Patty, peppermint-p escribió: Hi Offray, the sources of this tutorial (you mean i.e. the Open Office document that is editable?) are free too, I think. But to make sure whether I am right, I have to ask somebody. But why do you need them? Patty Yep, I'm meaning the OpenOffice editable sources of the pdf files. I need them because I'm using Squeak in my classes in Colombia and having spanish material would be fine for teaching purposes and talks locally. So, if you can help me with that sources, that would be a lot of help.

The most important thing about Monticello is that it is a code version manager. It' s job is to store versions, retrieve the latest version, find conflicts (when two programmers change the same source), and to show history and code branches. What it does not do is organize your code, solve conflicts (thought it does provide tools for you to do it), save your code for you (don't laugh ENVY does!), or replace proper workflow. There are different types of repositories. For this discussion let's just talk about package-cache and http. Package-cache is created for you and is updated when you load new packages, (like from squeakmap), or automatically when you save Monticello packages. It is file based and you can find it in your squeak directory on your computer. Http repositories are like www.squeaksource.com . It is a shared area where you can define projects, store your code, share it with others if you want and post to squeakmap. How-to! On the world menu select open.. Monticello browser. This opens up the Monticello browser. What you will see is packages that are already added to your browser. There are many packages added by default. For each package on the left you will see repositories on the right. Packages can be in multiple repositories. If you think of code branches this makes sense. To add a package from an Http repository you should unclick the package on the left, then press the +Repository button. Now select the Http type repository. This brings up a string that looks like this: MCHttpRepository location: 'http://foo.com/bar' user: 'squeak' password: 'squeak' you should replace the foo.com/bar with the repository you are interested in. For example MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/Cryptography' user: '' password: '' if you have a user name and password on squeaksource then you can add them to the string. After accepting your new repository definition you can hit the open button. This will show you packages that live inside the repository. In the repository browser you will see packages on the left and version on the right. You can select one of the package versions and browse it, or view a history, or see changes, or load it, and other things too but that's a good starting point. When you are make a change to a package, back on the regular Monticello browser you will see an asterisk (*) before the package name. If you want to update the repository with your new version, you need to save it. Select the package and the repository you want to save too and press save. You should always type in some notes as to what change you made then accept it. There is more, like working in a clean image, upgrading images, using Monticello configurations, running your own squeaksource image, version numbering, or how to handle conflicts.
