Cincom Smalltalk Store Repository
Cincom makes the Open Repository available to all users of Cincom Smalltalk. The OR is a public Store Repository with a guest login thatlets anyone read it and load goodies from it. Users with goodies they wish to share (or group projects they wish to work on with others in the community) can request write access. The repository already contains hundreds of utilities implemented in thousands of bundles and packages.What is Store?
Store is an integrated source code management and version control system for team development in Cincom VisualWorks . Store can use a variety of popular, commercially available databases systems (e.g., Oracle, SQLServer, PostgreSQL, SQLite3, and DB2). The public repository uses a PostgreSQL database. To access it from VisualWorks, you will need to load the StoreForPostgreSQL parcel, shipped with the standard distribution. This parcel can be found in the Popular category in the Parcel Manager (and also in the Version Control category). It is located in the /database subdirectory of the standard VisualWorks distribution.Obtaining Access
For read access you can login as a guest. For write access you’ll need to register for a login ID. To register, please send an email request to Arden Thomas, the Cincom Smalltalk Product Manager.Connecting to the Store Repository
