OSProcess not loadable in Pharo 9

[pavel-krivanek]

The latest versions of Pharo 9 have the old FileStreams removed while OSProcess uses them and makes extensions to them. Because of that, the OSProcess is not loadable to plain Pharo 9 anymore.

Thank you Pavel, I am not fully up to speed on Pharo 9 but I will try to educate myself. The old AttachableFileStream extension is probably a big part of the problem and it is long past time to do something better. I will try to get myself up to speed in the next few weeks but in the mean time if you have any suggestions as to how to approach this better I would appreciate your advice.

The migration will be not easy. What about to, for the beginning, take DeprecatedFileStream package and load it as a dependency?

[dtlewis290]

That sounds like the right thing to do in the near term. Would you be able to do the update for me?

Hello, any news on this issue?
We use OSProcess in https://github.com/pharo-nosql/mongotalk/

Martin or Pavel, I do not know how to make the change to take DeprecatedFileStream package and load it as a dependency. I would be grateful if someone can make the change for me or tell me exactly what to change. Sorry I am not up to speed on this, I need some help. Thank you :-)

I'm reading latest changes in OSSubprocess and I guess maybe Pavel refers to what Stef did in this commit, i.e. adding the package that was removed in P9. Am I wrong @pavel-krivanek?

[pavel-krivanek]

Well, I hoped to use some version published in a dedicated repository so more projects can reuse it :-) But currently, there is no one

I have just proposed the pull request #3 to solve this issue.

Merged, thank you very much!
