Re: [ros-dev] Pale Moon drops ReactOS support
by Love Nystrom 23 Jun '16

23 Jun '16

Correct me if I'm wrong (Alex?), but isn't the biggest difference between kernel 5.2 and 6.x that 6.x is *paging the kernel* ? (A huge design mistake if you ask me. One I bet will bite MS on the a**. If the kernel gets too fat it needs liposuction, not paging.) IMHO, adding new APIs, while keeping the (non-paging) kernel seems ideal.

Would it not be better to do all this in C++ and let wine write a C interface around it? When we're trying to move to C++, it seems like a step backwards in order to support wine's insistence on using C -----Original Message----- From: Ros-diffs [mailto:ros-diffs-bounces@reactos.org] On Behalf Of mjansen(a)svn.reactos.org Sent: 28 May 2016 17:43 To: ros-diffs(a)reactos.org Subject: [ros-diffs] [mjansen] 71439: [APPHELP] Begin shimlib implementation.

Semi-protection of our Wikipedia page
by Jared Smudde 29 May '16

29 May '16

Hello all, It seems that our Wikipedia page seems to have somewhat incorrect information in some sections on the page. Some of it seems to come from IP address which means that they are unregistered. Some of the information could be correct but some of the other information added could be incorrect. I propose that we can see if the wiki page could be Semi-Protected. If the page is Semi-Protected, that means that non-registered users (People logged as IPs in the log) and newly registered users (people that have less than 10 edits and that have been only registered for 4 days). This would mean that people that have been registered for a while and have made edits could edit the page. I hope that this would help with some of the incorrect information on the web page. Not sure what your thoughts are on this but I think it would be nice to have. Jared

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [pschweitzer] 71412: [REISERFSLIB] Stub the ReiserFS lib CORE-11005
by Timo Kreuzer 29 May '16

29 May '16

I thought the idea of the folder reorganization was to get some sense into it. But that doesn't work if people keep adding stuff to the sdk/lib folder, just because it is a lib! I don't see why a file system library would have any reason to go into the SDK.

Status Meeting (May 2016)
by Aleksey Bragin 26 May '16

26 May '16

Hello, Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place next Thursday, 2nd of June, 19:00 UTC, as I was busy before and general consensuss on the IRC channel was to move it one week further. IRC service will only be started shortly before the meeting. Your participation passwords and server address will be emailed to you shortly before the meeting starts, and they are going to be different once again as they are not stored in any database. Hopefully it's not much of inconvenience. Please send agenda proposals to me before the meeting. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

Re: [ros-dev] [CORE-11291] Create Windows 7 spec files for core DLLs

I would if I was, but alas I'm not :/ If you could *lend me* ISO's of checked W7SP1 x86/x64, I'll build checked virtual machines and generate the whole shebang (provided SymSrv will fetch checked symbols (which I don't know)).

[CORE-11291] Create Windows 7 spec files for core DLLs
by Love Nystrom 25 May '16

25 May '16

@Timo, I uploaded an ntdll.spec for Win7SP1. Unfortunately, ntdll.pdb only exports 'SymTagPublicSymbol', no 'SymTagFunction' symbols, so it's not possible to generate the parameter lists. If they're needed they'll have to be inserted manually or I'll have to write a tool that gets them from "wInternl.h" :/ ++ At least I was able to resolve the names of the 8 ordinal functions. I won't go into all the skull dredging details of getting thus far.. Suffice to say it involved uttering various sulphur reeking curses in nine different languages and threatening the entire human race with extinction, writing a dummy program and running it in WinDbg to make SymSrv fetch ntdll.pdb, and hacking CreateSpec beyond recognition with various hardcoded path names. Best Regards // Neo
