ROS 0.2.8 RC-2 available
by Robert Köpferl 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

A new version of ReactOS has arrived on SourceForge.Net Release Candidate 2 of version 0.2.8 has been finished last night and upped. As usual you're welcome to download and test. At this space some personal note: This is the first publish the new Releasemanager Brandon Turner did. For an unknown time, he'll do all future releases, since I go on some longer jorney. I'll not disappear from ROS but at least for some time. But I'm coming back within a year or so.

rbuild question
by Hartmut Birr 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

Hi, for a sample program, I have to specify a linker script file. I'm using the following xml-file: <module name="lowalign" type="win32cui" installbase="bin" installname="lowalign.exe"> <include base="lowalign">.</include> <define name="__USE_W32API" /> <file>lowalign.c</file> <linkerflag>-Wl,-T,modules/myapps/lowalign/ldscript</linkerflag> <linkerflag>-Wl,--file-alignment=0x80</linkerflag> <linkerflag>-Wl,--section-alignment=0x80</linkerflag> </module> I would like it if I can remove the absolute path from the linker script file. Any ideas? - Hartmut

Idea for the textual setup of ReactOS
by Jonathon Keogh 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

This is just an idea - there's no need to go crazy and bombard me with reasons why not. Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to ask for all the data (in the textual part of the setup for ReactOS) to be asked and then do all the proccessing? At the moment, it goes like so: * .... * Ask questions about drives * Apply drive stuff * Ask question about location of ReactOS * Apply ReactOS location (and copy files) * Ask question about booting * Apply booting stuff * Reboot PC Wouldn't it be better to do: * .... * Ask questions about drives * Ask question about location of ReactOS * Ask question about booting * Apply drive stuff * Apply ReactOS location (and copy files) * Apply booting stuff * Reboot PC This is just an idea, remember.

Constitution
by Casper Hornstrup 24 Oct '05

24 Oct '05

I have looked at the successful Debian project for inspiration on how to make decisions in a large distributed project like ReactOS. I have drafted a constitution for the ReactOS project which is similar to the Debian project constitution. You may find it here: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Constitution. The constitution explains the decision making entities, their abilities and the decision making processes of the ReactOS project. Feel free to comment, suggest changes, etc. Casper

DOS/GRUB based FreeLDR floppy image available.
by Bernd Blaauw 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

Using LOADLIN with FreeLDR didn't work to load ReactOS from DOS, so I remembered the GRUB4DOS program. Please download but don't distribute in any way the following file (this is just a demo, I don't feel like listing sites for sourcefiles) http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/freeldr.img bootsequence: 1) bootfloppy 2) FreeDOS bootsector (see kernel ; GPL ) 3) FreeDOS kernel (kernel 2035A, www.freedos.org ; GPL ) 4) FreeDOS command.com (FreeCOM, see www.fdos.org/kernel ; GPL ) 5) Batchfile (autoexec.bat, see below ; just a script, public domain thus) 6) GRUB (compresses nicely with UPX ; GPL) 7) FreeLDR (compresses nice with zip, but not bootable then. Can't be compressed by UPX unfortunately) Same configuration can be done on harddisk, I think (fat32 also???), which means you can now boot FreeLDR from harddisk even without a FreeLDR realmode install program or associated bootsector. configuration might be even more lightweight if I omitted FreeCOM (command.com) and used "SHELL=A:\GRUB.EXE --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys" instead. Some small misc. bugs on ReactOS: FreeLDR: Title part has issues when it's too long, overwrites Brian Palmer's name, and at right side it's cut-off CMD: why does "EXIT /?" (give helpscreen for EXIT command) close the cmd-window? @echo off cdd a:\ echo. echo Welcome to FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org) echo Booting FreeLDR 2.0.0 through GRUB4DOS. Press CTRL-C to abort or pause grub --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys

The ROS Wiki Mentions you need volunteers...
by TwoTailedFox 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

I was looking at the Wiki's "New Homepage Content", and it mentioned you needed volunteers, to scan the mailing lists, etc, for a useful end-of-week Newsletter. Well, I'd like to volunteer. I use Gmail to subscribe to The ROS and VLC lists, and it presents Emails as Conversations, minimising search time for specific parts of an email. That, and I religiously digest what I can, both on ROS, ROS-Dev, and the ROS-Dev SVN Commits. I'd like to do something to help contribute to ReactOS, and a Weekly Newsletter sounds quite appealing. I've done the odd article for a few IRL ones, so this is hopefully taking the next logical step. I've got a good grasp of English (Or so I'd like to think, but I swear the typo demon is about to leap out of my keyboard, and remove an "e" when I least expect it...), and good English is an excellent way to tell a user, "Wow, these guys aren't just another amateur batch of programmers!" So.. yeah, consider me Vounteered. -Stuart Robbins -- "I had a handle on life, but then it broke"

0.2.8 RC2 planned realse on Monday.
by Brandon Turner 23 Oct '05

23 Oct '05

As you might know this is the last release Robert will be able to do for a while(long term). So I will be trying to fill his spot while he is gone. Monday works out for us to be the best time where we can work together and he can show me everything that goes into packaging the release. Because of this we are going to do RC2 on this day. I need the experience and to learn from him other wise I will go into doing it blind. I know there is a lot of talk about deciding when to release and such. And no vote was taken on this, but we are stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Please understand why this decision was made. Feel free to express your views on this, and if there is over whelming opposition we can probably work something out. Brandon
