Yesterday reactos.com crashed. Unfortunately, I was unable to go onsite to fix the problem yesterday. This morning, I rebooted the box and everything seems to be up and running again. It seems some mail sent to @reactos.com yesterday may have been dropped. Ge van Geldorp.

Re: [ros-general] ROS installer scribbled over my ext2 partition :-(

It just cannot be NTFS. You can always move partitions around. And yes, while the limitation "hurts," that's a workaround that you can use. Short of editing the source code, I'm not sure if there's much that can be done. I'll cc: this to the dev list and ask if the limitation still is there, but I personally don't see anything about it having changed. Consider that ROS is still in "early" stages of use/release. 0.3 hasn't even been released yet. I am sure that when the partition/fs code is better able to deal with multiple partition setups, it will all work as it would be anticipated it would. - Mike - -- Michael B.

gcc-4.0 mingw crossbuild script

by Steven Edwards

Hi, If you need it here it is. Only explorer.exe does not build. The rest will compile if you shutup -Werror. For the C++ code that I have compared vs 3.4.1 its almost 2x faster. Thanks Steven __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

ReactOS Package Manager - Online (Website)

by Klemens Friedl

Hi! I programmed the ReactOS Package Manager - Online Website (started yesterday). It provide the online database (xml database) for the ReactOS Package Manager (exe) (svn: /trunk/rosapps/packmgr). Some important main function of the page already work. The page (written in php with mysql database) provide the database files (static xml files) for the client (packmgr.exe). So the Package Manager only download some static xml files (spare server resources). Url: http://frik85.fr.funpic.de/packmgr/ (for test purposes) Test the package manager (in Win32) with the new online database: * Compile the packmgr files (gui-app + dll) * change the server in option.xml to: <options> <source>http://frik85.fr.funpic.de/packmgr/db/</source> </options> * start the gui application (packmgr.exe) Wiki-Page: http://reactos.com/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Package_Manager Klemens Friedl -- +++ GMX - Die erste Adresse f�r Mail, Message, More +++ 1 GB Mailbox bereits in GMX FreeMail http://www.gmx.net/de/go/mail

Re: [ros-svn] [ion] 14799: KD System Rewrite:

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, I've found some other problems. For the serial debug, the default baudrate is set to 19200 baud and the baudrate option has no effect. Two debug port options like "/DEBUGPORT=BOCHS /DEBUGPORT=COM2" switches my pc off. The on/off switch has no effect after this. I must remove/insert the power plug to boot the pc again. I use this option for the bootcd. The previous debug implementation has enabled the bochs and serial debug at boot phase 0 and all other debug variants at boot phase 1. Currently KdInitSystem(0, ..) is called twice. The first call is in _main and the second in ExpInitializeExecutive. - Hartmut

RE: [ros-svn] [ion] 14801: Add GDB = 1 to makefile to compile-in theGDB Wrapper. These options will be better manged with rbuild

by Ge van Geldorp

> From: ion(a)svn.reactos.com > > Add GDB = 1 to makefile to compile-in the GDB Wrapper. These > options will be better manged with rbuild Any reason the inclusion of the GDB stub can't be keyed on the existing "DBG" var? I feel (pretty strongly) we should minimize the number of compile-time configs. Gé van Geldorp.

Please compile it in always and make it a run-time option instead to avoid this. The extra bytes are well spent. Casper

rbuild status - need help finalizing

by Royce Mitchell III

rbuild has one bug ( that we're aware of ) blocking it from being ready to go live. Basically, both bootcd and livecd are halting with a "inaccessible_boot_device" after blue.sys. Would anybody be willing to look at it and help us figure out what we're doing wrong when generating the ISOs? Also, being this close, would everybody who cares please check out the rbuild branch for feedback before we go live? Here's the branch url: svn://svn.reactos.com/branches/xmlbuildsystem/reactos Thanks
