Hi All,
As requested I made my work into a Universe package (with no
dependencies) The current version is 'VersionsBrowser version 0.3.1'
in the 'Code Browsing' category. The new VersionsBrowser and
ClassCommentVersionsBrowser should work exactly as the before. I
would appreciate anyone trying them out.
The new package avoids changing any existing system methods with the
following exceptions:
- Date class>>readFrom: which breaks when reading some malformed dates;
- SmalltalkImage>>sourcesName which adds a necessary check for nil;
- The callers of VersionsBrowser within the Smalltalk tools. (It
avoid affecting any other MC packages by moving these callers to the
'*Tools-Versions' category).
For those who are interested, the experimental source code condensing
methods can now be found in the '*Tools-Versions' category in
SystemDictionary.
To condense the sources, look at the methods in the 'condensing'
category in SystemDictionary:
- #condenseCurrentChanges
works the same way condensing the changes file only.
- #condenseCurrentSource
is my renaming of #condenseSources but otherwise works the same way.
- #archiveSourcesPermanently
This method empties the changes file and condense all of the current
sources to a new source file, and moves all of the prior source
versions to the permanent master archive. Since we don't want random
Squeakers to affect the master archive, this method actually only
generate a new permanent archive locally. Once generated locally, it
can be copied manually to the actual FTP archive site by someone who
has authorization.
- #archiveSourceLocally
This method allows one to create one's own personal methods archive
that doesn't affect the permanent master archive.
The VersionsBrowser looks for methods first in the source and changes
file, then in the local archive, and then finally in the permanent
archive. Method versions from the permanent archive are stored in a
local cache if the permanent archive is being remotely accessed.
Thank you to Edgar, Damien, and Colin for helping me offline over the
past few weeks.
I look forward to any feedback.
Enjoy!
Maurice
