The main problem is DrGeo is one a few software in the community to be deployed as a desktop app. All the others are dev software (Calypso, Roassal, MOOSE) or web-based app that don't need specific work for deployment. I need to deployed simulation engines that we are building with my team

Changing too many things at once is indeed annoying. Now, I am ready to live with that but at one point, I think that we will have to move to something like I see done in other fast evolving ecosystems. In Hadoop for example, Hortonworks (a distribution) moved to a set of slow evolving substrate

Just to chip in - I hope we can get past this bump (and I think it is a bump). I am actually ecstatic that recent improvements - a 64bit vm, a minimal image and git integration, have opened the door to Pharo working on AWS Lambda. Also having a CI system to help crank these things out is also a

I don't share your enthusiasm. I once set up a satisfactory build environment for DrGeo, based on P3. As long as I stay with P3, I can concentrate on DrGeo code: write the code, then fire up a build script to deploy the application. Now porting to P6 is a pain: the infrastructure to deploy a

Indeed. I dreamed about the bootstrap in 2002 :) so now I enjoy it :) What I can tell you is that we will do another pass because we want Pharo core around 200 k + 300 k for a slow vm. And we will have one guy working on it during his PhD. We will continue to push with Pavel, christophe and guille

Hi Holger, With Pharo3 I was proceeding like this, by uninstallation of packages. However there is the promise of building from a minimal image, but it is not documented AFAIK. By curiosity, what is the size of your resulting image. Hilaire Le 22/07/2017 à 10:43, Holger Freyther a écrit :
