The Light At The End Of The Tunnel: Announcing the release of GsDevKit_home and tODE

GsDevKit_home

1. GsDevKit_home development kit for GemStone/S 64, provides a framework of Bash scripts and directory structure for working with a collection of multiple stones.

• Bash scripts

  • createStone
  • deleteStone
  • startStone
  • stopStone
  • upgradeStone

• $GS_HOME points to the root directory of a GsDevKit_home installation:

  ▸ bin/
  ▸ dev/
    ▸ clients/
    ▸ todeClient/
  ▸ etc/
  ▾ server/
    ▸ snapshots/
    ▸ stones/
  ▾ shared/
    ▸ downloads/
    ▸ repos/
  ▾ sys/
    ▸ bin/
    ▸ default/
    ▸ local/
    ▸ stones/ 
  

2. tODE, the Object (centric) Development Environment, is a development environment for GemStone/S 64 that features:

• a Smalltalk powered command line interface, inspired by Bash

  

• a hierarchical directory structure that functions as a virtual file system for navigation by the tODE Shell console

 ▸ /_home@/        --> $GS_HOME
 ▸ /home@/
 ▸ /projects@/
 ▾ /sys/
   ▸ default@/      --> $Gs_HOME/sys/default
   ▸ local@/        --> $Gs_HOME/sys/local
   ▾ stone@/
      ▸ /home/      --> $GS_HOME/sys/stones/<stone-name>/home
      ▸ /projects/  --> $GS_HOME/sys/stones/<stone-name>/projects
   ▸ stones@/       --> $Gs_HOME/sys/stones
 ▾ /tmp/

• a GUI that provides access to the classic Smalltalk tools like the class browser and debugger

  

• built-in support for using git to manage Smalltalk code stored in FileTree repositories.
