This came up in the Seaside list but the poster thought it would be
useful here as well...maybe for those who are really new to Squeak...
Could anyone clear up some confusion on my part - I am trying to
figure
out how one finds things. I used SqueakMap Package Loader and looked
around but could not find anything about protoGrowl.
SqueakMap is a good guess but, as you've seen, some packages aren't
available there (or the version on SqueakMap is old and you might
want a newer one). Package universes are another source but I seldom
use them. The next source to open a web browser on
www.squeaksource.com, click on the "Projects" link and enter a search
term. If I do this with the term "protogrowl" then squeaksource
lists the SeaChart package. If I click on that package I see a very
long web page where, down at the bottom is a section with the heading
"Registration" and the text:
MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/seachart'
user: ''
password: ''
(I'll refer to this text as the "repository spec") Copy that text to
your clipboard, go to the Monticello Browser in Squeak and click
"+Repository", select HTTP from the menu and paste the repository
spec into the dialog and click accept. The SeaChart repository is
now available in the monticello browser. Select it in the right-hand
pane (if it isn't already selected) and click the "Open" button. Now
you're browsing the SqueakSource repository for SeaChart...there may
be many packages there. One of them will be ProtoGrowl. Keep in
mind that most developers use SqueakSource for unstable releases so
you might want to read the package comment before you load it. Once
you've found a version you like, click "Load". ;-)
HTH,
David
