Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 3 April 2017 to 9 April 2017. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=3/4/2017&to=9/4/2017
ChangeLog ========= 7 April 2017: ------------- * Fixed the small but annoying [issue 323](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg/issues/323) (DNU when creating a local repository ) * Today I'm working on [Iceberg](http://github.com/npasserini/iceberg). I fixed a bug on locating existing repositories for +gitlocal:+ Metacello protocol, but most amusing, I added a new plugin: "Install Baseline", who allows you to install a project from a baseline listed in "Packages" tab from repositories browser. 6 April 2017: ------------- * I worked a lot preparing the new deployment model for VMs. Basically, now it will be like this: * nightly builds will be still built by our CI (to produce test VMs) * latest VMs will be produced on opensmalltalk-vm, using blessed sources. * stable VMs will be promoted by me :) I'm thinking on change a bit this scheme, but for now it will work like that. I finisged the [OpenSmalltalk](http://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm) part, now I need to adapt also [Pharo-Project](http://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm) (tomorrow). Then, we still need to fix one problem with a primitive... and we will be good to go. * I worked on [case: 19921](https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19921), to allow Athens to run fine on 64bits (linux). 5 April 2017: ------------- * I worked on +UnifiedFFI+, making sure different architectures of linux (i386, x86_64) will have methods to find their libraries. In particular, I added: +#unix32ModuleName+ and +#unix64ModuleName+. Both are redirecting to +#unixModuleName+ by default as a way to provide backward compatibility (also, libraries could) be in same place in different architectures, like the case of libraries distributed by ourselves (libgit2, libssl, libssh2, libsdl2). 4 April 2017: ------------- * I made some fixes on [Iceberg](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg)... in particular, this two issues: * [Issue 317](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg/issues/317), which adds the posibility of removing a package from FileSystem. * [Issue 319](https://github.com/npasserini/iceberg/issues/319), forcing unix line endings to commit messages (as is required by git). * I fixed a problem when building the VM for Windows: thing is, as it was, it was building cairo library without freetype support, so frameworks like Roassal to fail. Problem was that pkgconfig was failing to find correct version of +freetype+ effectively letting it outside. I needed to change the build script (for Windows) to this: ---- $(THIRDPARTYLIBDIR)/$(CAIROLIBNAME): $(CAIROARCHIVE) tar x -f $(CAIROARCHIVE) -C $(THIRDPARTYDIR) cd $(CAIRODIR) \ && ./configure \ --prefix="$(THIRDPARTYOUTDIR)" \ --host=i686-w64-mingw32 \ PKG_CONFIG="$(PKG_CONFIG)" \ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$(PKG_CONFIG_PATH)" \ CFLAGS='$(THIRDPARTY_CFLAGS) -I$(THIRDPARTYINCLUDEDIR) -march=pentium4' \ LDFLAGS='$(THIRDPARTY_LDFLAGS) -L$(THIRDPARTYLIBDIR) -march=pentium4' \ FREETYPE_LIBS="-L$(THIRDPARTYLIBDIR) -lfreetype -lz" \ FREETYPE_CFLAGS="-I$(THIRDPARTYINCLUDEDIR) -I$(THIRDPARTYINCLUDEDIR)/freetype2" \ --disable-silent-rules \ --disable-xlib \ --disable-dependency-tracking \ && sed -i '/.* sh .\/make-/i\\ttest -e \$$\@ \&\& rm \$$\@' test/Makefile \ && make \ && make install ---- Now averything seems working. cheers!
