My *personal* take on this is is that we can migrate easily the catalog, without deprecating it: - the catalog repositories will stay alive as read-only, so it will be no problem to access old catalog entries (unless they depend on private projects, but that would be odd) - a low-energy solution for this is to migrate these repositories to squeaksource3. This should be mostly straight-forward. - a high-energy solution is to rethink the catalog. I know there have been some community efforts from Christophe Demarey for example, Esteban has also interesting ideas on how to attack this.

Re: [Esug-list] [vwnc] Tree Table view

by Maarten Mostert

I developped the NextDataset of which some version is available in the public store; It is in use by some 45000 users worldwide (making it probably the most popular used smalltalk dataset in history). You can still see the example and find the running thing on the windows store <https://www.microsoft.com/nl-nl/p/stakepoint-projects/9nblggh5lnxq?rtc=1&ac…>. It has a real tree column has full dag and drop support as well custimizable dropdown canvasses (you can put a tabcontrol under a cells menu button). It will probably need some tweeking to get to work on the last VW version as extraction from my code was not 100% perfect. It is without any doubt however the best enhancement to the original dataset merging both the treeView and the dataset in what they were certainly designed for from their origins many decades ago before being abandonned due to their complexity. As I managed to find the original logic, it contains very little code (probably less then hundred lines) and 90% of the code in there is just to subclass things for maintenance. It would obviously be nice if these very few lines (about a year of work) would be a part of the real product, but then you would need to convince Arden and Susan for this …. 🤷‍♂️ Cheers, Maarten PS. As for the Aragon thing I would say forget it, it's a completely different design and imho maintenance would be very expensive. > On 3 Apr 2020, at 12:42, Steven Kelly <stevek(a)metacase.com> wrote: > > Take a look at the Aragon tree view, which can do tables too > Steve > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: mark pirogovsky [mailto:mpirogovsky@aol.com] >> Sent: Thursday, April 2, 2020 5:31 PM >> To: vwnc(a)cs.uiuc.edu >> Cc: ESUG Mailing list >> Subject: [vwnc] [Esug-list] Tree Table view >> >> Hello all. >> Hope everybody is staying healthy. >> >> UI question: >> >> In VW we have a tree view and a table( or dataset ) view. >> Does anybody know an easy way to have a tree view which can show more >> than one data fields like a table row? >> >> Thanks, >> -- >> Mark Pirogovsky >> >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Esug-list mailing list > Esug-list(a)lists.esug.org > http://lists.esug.org/mailman/listinfo/esug-list_lists.esug.org

[ANN] SmalltalkHub Deprecation Notice

by Guillermo Polito

SmalltalkHub Deprecation Notice SmalltalkHub is now getting old and it is time to deprecate it. We plan to replace it by a static file server during 2020. The public data will still be readable and consumable from monticello clients, but modifications will not be allowed in the near future. SmalltalkHub users should move their projects to git repositories or other monticello repository services. What is changing? If you currently host a project in SmalltalkHub, you should migrate your projects to another platform as soon as possible. If you depend on a project hosted on SmalltalkHub, you should contact the owner of that project to schedule a migration. If you have documentation or tutorials using SmalltalkHub, we recommend to update those after a migration. An archive of all public projects in SmalltalkHub will be made available in read-only mode. This archive will be readable through monticello clients for compatibility reasons. Private projects, due to privacy reasons, will not be published in the public archive and will be removed to protect their owners. Why are RMoD and Inria making this change? SmalltalkHub has finished its cycle. The arrival of git integration in the past years caused the move of most users in the Pharo community to git hosting services. They now use exclusively other platforms. Furthermore, RMoD and Inria lack the manpower to properly maintain the SmalltalkHub service and keep it up to date. Smalltalkhub has no added value compared to other code source hosting platforms. How much time do I have to adapt to this change? The SmalltalkHub deprecation will follow the next timetable: Monday 04 of may 2020: SmalltalkHub will be read-only. Creation of new users and projects will be forbidden. New commits will be rejected. All existing users, projects (public and private) and their commits will remain available and visible, but their settings will become read-only. Monday 02 of november 2020: SmalltalkHub will be migrated to a static file server archive. Private projects and their commits will not be available anymore. The RMoD team and Inria plan to keep the static file server alive for, at least, 5 years from the date of its creation. What will happen if I do nothing? Your public projects will become read-only and you will not be able to commit anymore. Your private projects will become unavailable. What alternatives do I have? Those wanting to keep using monticello can migrate their projects to other monticello hostings such as http://squeaksource.com <http://squeaksource.com/> or http://ss3.gemstone.com <http://ss3.gemstone.com/> Those wanting to migrate to git, Peter Uhnak’s git migration tool (https://github.com/peteruhnak/git-migration <https://github.com/peteruhnak/git-migration>) automates monticello to git migration in tonel format.
