Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS Development Process

I considered that, but it's a bad idea. Try to remember what the hell it was to merge changes into release branch ("stable"), done since 0.3.3-RC1 was released? And that was only to do a RC2, about 1-2 weeks, and complete hell to merge so it was decided that a rebranch was easier (and in fact it worked very well). WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Herve suggests using a kind of a continuous integration system, describing it this way: * precommit hook if commit not to trunk, abort precommit hook create a REV-abc branch from trunk and do the commit here * regularly go through all REV-abc branches (increasing ABC numbers) test it if not, inform user or whatever that test failed and go to next branch try to merge to trunk if not, inform user or whatever that merge failed and go to next branch commit to trunk delete the branch go to next branch * pros: devs and users will have new version to trunk once they are tested devs and users only have to know trunk * cons: changes are not immediatly available for everyone, except in REV-abc branch On Oct 3, 2007, at 12:50 PM, Aleksey Bragin wrote: > Hello, > recently, different people raised a question: How should development > process evolve with time, when ReactOS has more (much more) > developers willing to contribute code?

SmartPDF (aka SumatraPDF) in rosapps, linking problems
by Klemens Friedl 02 Oct '07

SumatraPDF is a lightweight Win32 pdf viewer app http://blog.kowalczyk.info/software/sumatrapdf/ http://code.google.com/p/sumatrapdf/ The name "sumatra" sounds weird (for an app), so I renamed the directory and the output exe file to "SmartPDF" (based on suggestions from #reactos). SumatraPDF comes with VS 2k5 project files. I have fixed various compile issues so that libjpeg, poppler, fitz/mupdf and sumatra app itself compile without errors in mingw (RosBE 0.3.7.2 Win32). All code changes can be found by grep/search for "@note:", I added a comment to each changed code line. The remaining problem is the linking issue. Currently it does NOT link correctly. Timo Kreuzer mentioned on 2007-09-27 in #reactos something that may be related to the issue: "it [sumatrapdf] imports a function from winspool.drv by number, when you add that number to winspool.def, it starts" Please have a look at it, fixes are appreciated :) Klemens
