(Ubuntu) New packages of Pharo VM

Damien Cassou announced today 

Hi,

I'm happy to announce a brand new packaging of the Pharo VM. The
packaging works with all officially supported Ubuntu releases, both 32
and 64bits (see this list of Ubuntu support dates:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases).

I pushed these new packages to a different PPA so I can test without
impacting current users :
https://launchpad.net/~pharo/+archive/unstable/+packages

If you are using an old version of Ubuntu (e.g., Precise 12.04 or even
Lucid 10.04), you should try with this new PPA.

Please report problems by email to me directly.

An advantage of this new packaging is that it should become much
easier to create Ubuntu packages for your own Pharo projects. I will
talk about that later as I try these new packaging mechanism on the
Launcher, Pillar and Phratch projects.

Pharo and OpenCL

Ronie Salgado started working in making some basic bindings for OpenCL using
NativeBoost. Currently he can run basics OpenCL OpenCL kernels. I tried to generate quickly some procedural images which was a success.

He is going to be showing some more cool stuffs when mixing OpenCL+OpenGL+SDL2.

Currently uploading my work into
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ronsaldo/OpenCL. No configuration or stable release yet.

Greetings,
Ronie

Gmail contacts management

Sean De Nigris wrote a tiny utility to work with Gmail contacts. It is very basic and just maps an export file in the Outlook format to GmailContact objects. It doesn't support the Google CSV format - the field order and names are different, and the file is UTF16-encoded. Enjoy!

Gofer it
	smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground';
	package: 'GmailContact';
	load.

#GmailContact asClass importAllFromOutlookExport: ‘/path/to/contacts.csv' asFileReference.

Programming in Pharo: a Live Experience

Dark Theme

Esteban Lorenzano released a really really nice look for Pharo 30 🙂

 

 

 

 

Here is his announce

 

How you install it? You need to execute this script:

 

“1. You need this because otherwise Gofer merge becomes dumb :P”

MCRepositoryGroup default 

    addRepository: (MCSmalltalkhubRepository 

        owner: ‘estebanlm’ 

        project: ‘Pharo3DarkTheme’).

“2. Now we can actually MERGE the project”

Gofer it 

    smalltalkhubUser: ‘estebanlm’ project: ‘Pharo3DarkTheme’;

    package: ‘Pharo3DarkTheme’;

    merge.

“3. And then install it”

Pharo3DarkTheme installFullTheme.

 

WARNING 1: You need to do a merge (notice the script)

WARNING 2: Yes, this is a HACK (also: an ugly hack). See below for details. 

WARNING 3: This changes something in the Pharo3Theme too… so you can go back after installing, but not completely 🙂
