State of the Repository October 6th 2005

by WaxDragon

The stats: In Sepember, there were: 578 commits 98 bugs opened 94 bugs closed I wasn't able to determine the bugs that weere touched during the last month, since something made *all* bugs appear touched. A little change of format, I will review the closed bugs first, then go over the SVN commits in less detail than last month. *First of all, the new website has been released! This resolved about 10 bugs, many of which were the oldest in Bugzilla. Thanks to everyone involved with the new site, it looks great! * The taskmgr repainting bug was fixed. (583) * ReactOS currently installs with only 32MB. (debug builds too!) (703) ** Reopened, see test results below.. * Freeldr now checks for invalid dates from the BIOS. (716) * The last page of the installer is drawn correctly now. (735) * Many notepad fixes and enhancements. * Floppy support fixed. (753) * Control combos fixed, you can now Ctrl+D in Putty to logout. (763) * Last of the vmwinst.exe bugs fixed, can change resolution now. (764) * ncftp now works. (779) * Various regedit fixes and enhancements. * WinRAR installer works. (785) * vim.exe input works again. (796) Some of the SVN highlights: *Various notepad improvements and fixes. *Various regedit improvements and fixes. *LPC work *NDK work *Sync to Wine-20050830 *More win32k work *New CSR code *More rtl cleanup *0.2.7 was tagged *USB drivers added to bootcd *Ion's 17838 WIP code !!!! *Ntoskrnl header cleanups *"Text" test added to rosperf *Some new winefile icons *The TAB+ debug combos work again *GDB stub fixes *Vaious application leak fixes *Setupapi got alot of work this month *Simple TCP/IP Services added (tcpsvcs) *Simple Device Manager added (devmgr) and the usual pile of build and bug fixes. We also gained two developers this month! Lets welcome Bletch (npwoods) and GedMurphy! Lets start October off with r18248: (Here is the rough draft of the testing list I am using, feedback apriciated) (http://waxdragon.homeip.net/~ford/reactos/ros_regression_items.html) Installation: * Installs under both vmware and qemu hangs under vmware 5 with only 32MB completes first stage installer under qemu with 32MB, crashes on first reboot (see bug 703 for more details) Drivers: * PCNet driver works VMWare * vmx_svga (and vmwinst.exe) work under VMWare * Ne2000 driver works under QEmu * CL54XX video driver works under QEmu * floppy driver appears to work under both VMWare and QEmu * USB drivers (UHCI and usbhub) both load under VMWare5 Applications: (Tested under VMWare5 only) * Abiword 2.2.9 installs; opens, edits and saves files. * Info-ZIP UNZIP 5.42 unzips the OOo 1.1.4 install * OOo 1.1.4 unpacks, and starts to install, but NONE of the text is rendered on the installer pages. I fumbled my way though the installer by memory, and it even completed the file copy, but it appears to hang setting up the registry. I can't tell, no text. ;0) This is progress though. * Firefox has multiple issues still, both install and runtime. * OffByOne installer has issues, but the binaries run and load pages, slow and some issues (win32k?). * The Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12 works with ibrowser, but needs msvcp60.dll to register the dlls. This is different that the 1.6 control. Eventhough, it seems to work a runtime, making ibrowser the best browser canidate. (Still can't type in it though.. bug 876) * dillo gets a UM exception trying to start * lynx 2.8.3 runs, gets hung loading pages occationally, can break out of load. works ok. * mIRC 6.16 installs (shortcut error), and can even connect to freenode by IP. Hopefully, Alex's ws2_32 will fix that. * jbmail installs and connects to my ISP pop3 server *by IP only* * Miranda IM 0.4.0.1 and 0.3.3.1 have multiple issues, both install though. * PuTTY works, still drops chars if you type too fast (really noticeable under debug/qemu). OTOH, I can use the Control+ combos now. I can log out and detach fom screen. * RealVNC viewer suffers from the same crash tcpsvcs does. Gunnar has a patch for this in bugzilla, will followup. * 7za (the commandline stand alone 7-Zip) works well. Shipped Apps (in-tree) * regedit still has the treeview bug, but due to recent work, I can actually create new keys and string values, and I can still import from the command line. You can export subtrees now also. PROGRESSION! * taskmanager has had some bugs fixes recently, but the System Cache setting now reads 0 after fixing it in windows. * Notepad has had alot of improvements, it's looking good. * winemine still doesn't work (black box) * Solitare works, but is still missing the menubar. REGRESSION. * ps works * mc starts * format still does nothing, just hangs * calc *seems* to work. * cat works * ftp works, but still can't tell the difference between ascii and binary transfers. * ncftp has progressed and you can use it for uploads and downloads, the only issue I am aware of is you cannot backspace. * ping works * ipconfig is getting bad data from the OS, but works fine under windows. * finger works * route works, and had some cosmetic improvements * netstat fails loading snmpapi.dll * hostname returns the name you filled in second stage setup now. ;0) * arp does not work, missing some of the plumbing. * telnet works, and seems to buffer input properly. * tcpsvcs crashes upon start up, seems that AfdSelect is setting DPCs will NULL procs. There is a patch from Gunnar (Bug 857) that addresses this, still needs more testing. Hoping to regression test it after this stupid email that has taken me three days. ;0) To end this note, I will point out a few bugs. We are still seeing fatal hangs on shutdown on some configurations. Also, during this testing, I corrupted the registry three times, will need to look into that. All and all, we have made progress. Keep up the good work! WD (If I forgot anything, or you have something to add, please reply to this note) -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

RE: [ros-dev] ReactOS 0.3 and magazine deals

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

Here is the original Linux Format article: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gedmurphy/ReactOS.jpg <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gedmurphy/ReactOS.jpg> I got it wrong, it was 0.2.4 they featured last time. -----Original Message----- From: Murphy, Ged (Bolton) [mailto:MurphyG@cmpbatteries.co.uk] Sent: 07 October 2005 15:31 To: 'ReactOS Development List' Subject: [ros-dev] ReactOS 0.3 and magazine deals Hi all, As a result of Linux World UK this week, I have 2 popular Linux magazines, Linux Format and Linux User, who are very interested in featuring us in the near future. Linux Format have featured us before, and would like to do a re-visited write-up detailing how far the project has progressed since the last feature, which was 0.2.5 Linux User seemed interested in doing something with one of our developers who is a competent writer, for a full feature. Both magazines would like to wait until the 0.3 release before doing their feature. I need to contact the editors with information and I'm guessing one of the first questions which will be asked is 'when will the 0.3 release be out?' GvG has said he wants to start up on networking, starting with getting Firefox running I will be doing as much as I can on the user mode side along with assisting Gé in any way I can. I know Alex has done a hell of a lot of work on the new WS2_32 and friends, and WaxDragon's relentless testing is highlighting progressions and regressions all the time. So I suppose I have 2 questions here: - Can we consider setting a date to aim for the 0.3 release, so I have something to give to the magazines? It doesn't have to be set in stone, just an incentive to work towards. - Is anyone willing to get involved in relaying / writing information to pass on to Linux User magazine? Also, I think the requirements for the 0.3 release need to be reviewed. It has some features listed that will hold back the release of 0.3 for no good reason <http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/about_roadmap.html> http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/about_roadmap.html <http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/0.3.x/0.3.0> http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/0.3.x/0.3.0 Lastly, can I coax anyone else into joining the ReactOS network movement ? hehe Thanks for listening :) Ged. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Fwd: A new tool to interact with Bugzilla

by Martin Fuchs

Hi, I downloaded and tried the Deskzilla tool. Quite nifty. :-) But when trying to use it with the ReactOS Bugzilla at http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/ I have problems to login. Is there some version incompatibility? Using it with Wine's and Castor's Bugzilla works quite well. Regards, Martin ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Ernst <Jonathan(a)ernstfamily.ch> Date: 06.10.2005 13:01 Subject: A new tool to interact with Bugzilla To: wine-devel(a)winehq.org Cc: wine-users(a)winehq.org Hello, This might solve people's concerns about the difficulty to use/search in bugzilla. You can save queries, make fast search in comments thanks to the local database (use top right search field), etc. Of course I discovered this application right after having triaged some hundreds bugs... http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7491 Deskzilla 1.0, a desktop client for the Bugzilla bug tracking system. Deskzilla delivers features for greater productivity and an improved working environment for the users of Bugzilla.

LinuxWorld London, 2nd day

by Ge van Geldorp

The second day of the show was very much like the first day. Not a single BSOD, my laptop hung twice after visitors played around a little bit. Basically the biggest problem I had was how to prevent loosing my voice, I'm obviously not used to talking as much as we did the these two days. There were some (Linux) magazines showing interest, Ged Murphy has their details. All in all I think it was a worthwile show and I'm looking forward to going to one of these shows again.

This will be fixed upon implementation of setsockopt(). We also get jibberish when resolving name info. This will be fixed when WS2_32 has getnameinfo() It works as expected in Windows.

Developing on ReactOS

by Rick Langschultz

Hey everyone, I was wondering how well reactos compiles on reactos? And does the standard build tools work. I was also interested in doing some development work on ReactOS using some common GPL-based software.
