I'd also insist here with Sven. Could you please explain better what are
you trying to accomplish?

This is ok, and this will update latest release (not latest dev version).
Usually from a user perspective yor may want only latest release and that's
ok.

Actually, here what you were doing is loading latest version of iceberg to
contribute to it.
If you want to use Iceberg, you need to do nothing :) The latest iceberg
version is already in Pharo7 and you had nothing to do.

Thanks Sven, Guille,

I am only looking at iceberg for development / loading of a software project
being developed in Pharo (i.e. not develop iceberg itself ... if the
question was on iceberg development maybe I would have posted in
Pharo-developers group ;) ). so it seems there is nothing to be done to
"use" iceberg.

I have some questions ... pardon if they are naive but I am pretty green in
the pharo environment.

Question 1: This is on the sequence for cloning a repository and loading the
project from bitbucket with a Metacello configuration defined. - 
I have cloned on pharo 6.1... after that do I have to load the project /
packages as a separate step ?
after cloning, iceberg shows as follows
 Name CurrBranch   loaded version   Status
myProjectdevelopmentNo Package Loadednot loaded

Question 2: what are the steps to pull the latest version of the project and
overwrite the existing package versions already loaded

Question 3: Are class side initialize scripts triggerred on first time load
and on reload 

Question 4: the project has several external files .jpegs, .css .json etc,
... are they also pulled / pushed alongwith pharo code thru iceberg 

Question 5: how do I update iceberg 1.4.0 in pharo 6.1 image / 7.0 image

Question 6: is there documentation / guide available for iceberg like the
monticello / metacello guide in Deep Into Pharo 

thanks
Sanjay

[Pharo-users] what must be instead of the ??

[Roelof Wobben]

Hello,

I try to solve a adventofcode challenge where I must find out when santa 
is first at the basement. the floor is there -1.

So I thought I use a while loop like this :

santaFloorOnBasement
    "calculates which step take Santa to the basement"
 | index|
 index := 1.
 ??? when: (floor >=0 ) do:
    [ floor := (input at: index = '(' )
    ifTrue: [ floor + 1 ]
    ifFalse: [ floor - 1 ].
 index := index + 1 ].

but I cannot find out what must be instead of the ??

index is the index of the string which has to start with a 1.
floor  and input are both instance variables. floor contains the current 
floor and input the input of the challenge.


Can someone help me figure this out so the next time I can do this on my 
own.
