IIRC, either WD calls for a trunk freeze, or Brandon branches for a release. Neither have happened yet ?? I think we should progress in some way or we'll never see 0.3.0 ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Language selection in textmode part of setup
by David Hinz 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

When I just looked for something to translate, I updated the translation of syssetup (trunk\reactos\lib\syssetup). While I read through the file, I recognized, that I newer saw this before. When I checked the setup, I found out, that until all steps of the setup are done, everything is in english. Can't we extend the first part of the setup, so that you select your language at the beginning of setup (the way nearly every Linux-distributor is doing it...) so that people who don't understand english very good are able to install ReactOS? Wouldn't this be nice for 0.3.0? Greets, David Hinz

We've discussed this a few times and the 1st December was thrown about as a provisional date. I assumed that the release coordinator was going to branch then, or the TC was going to call for a trunk freeze. > But for 0.3.0 I think we should "clean up" the trunk i.e. WaxDragon > should call for a feature freeze and we should fix all bugs and work > very hard on the translations, On the contrary, it's not a feature freeze we need for 0.3.0. There is missing functionality to co-inside with the roadmap. The feature freeze will come when trunk is ready to branch for 0.3.0, or beforehand is the TC deems the trunk to be 'a mess' ;) > as 0.3.0 is one of our major releases and > will be reviewed by a lot of magazines (if we tell them about this > release...), so it should be one of our best releases. I agree, I've already got a few magazines and other features in the pipeline ;) This is another reason I'm hungry to get 0.3.0 out of the door. > Greets, > > David Hinz Ged. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Installer
by Jonathan Andrews 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello to the group.... my first post.... I noticed some talk about the Reactos installer following the windows form. As a long time NT admin who moved into product development on Linux I would just like to point out how mediocre the windows installer is. With a bootable linux ISO you get a full network stack, functional USB support, detected UDMA IDE drivers, Vesfa FB X11 etc etc etc... with the windows installer you get a kernel, a few utils and a pretty inflexable installer. Would it not make more sense to write an installer thats based on a bootable Linux image - if nothing else the use of networking offers a host of possibilities (diskless installs, updates from the internet during the install phase and so on). Is the aim to clone windows, or to produce an operating system that is API compatible with win32 ? They are very different aims with very different requirements! Jon

the 3 partially duplicated NTSTATUS code copies
by art yerkes 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Does anybody object to consolidating all but one of the partial NTSTATUS_* copies to: #ifndef WIN32_NO_STATUS #include <ddk/ntstatus.h> #endif And keeping the copy in ddk/ntstatus.h ? -- Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that something important is happening. -- Robert Stirniman

If VfatOpenFile returns with an error and without a parent fcb, we have to return the error. - Hartmut

Symbolic Links
by David Hinz 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

I was just wondering, if we could implement symbolic links in ReactOS. As I don't want to add this feature to every filesystem that doesn't support symbolic links, I thought about another way. I had two ideas: 1. Use a file for this, comparable to files like HOSTS etc 2. Use the registry The more I thought about this, I liked my second idea more than my first and noticed what a great thing the registry is. We could simply add keys like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\symlinks\C:\My Files and set the target directory as it's value. It's very easy to search for such keys, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement it into the IFS-driver. More complicated would be the implementation into explorer and the creation of a commandline utility. A second feature could be to create such links for every user, so that every user could use C:\My Files\... which would be linked to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Files\... and he wouldn't even notice. I think that would be a nice feature and I would really like to implement this, but I'm afraid I can't do this alone, as I don't have much experience and I'm just beginning to learn C++ and asm, so it would be nice, if someone of you who likes this idea could help me with this. Greets, David Hinz
