Status Meeting (June 2017)
by Aleksey Bragin 29 Jun '17

29 Jun '17

Hello, Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place 29th of June, 19:00 UTC. We do it either in #reactos-meeting on Freenode, or on a very own standalone IRC server. In that case 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. And everyone is fine with that. Please send agenda proposals to me before the meeting so we don't waste time trying to setup the agenda directly during the meeting. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

SVN url change?
by Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hello all, Today I noticed that our buildbots couldnt connect to SVN to upload the commit changes, and therefore failed to build. Also I noticed that the usual SVN ViewVC address (which was previously https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos , for example) changed to https://svn.reactos.org/viewcvs/reactos/ (granted, there appear to be an automatic redirection to this new address). Is it an intentional change, or an unintentional one? We didnt seem to be warned prior to this on the mailing list! Cheers, Hermès

Please don't read Windows source code

According to The Register, Windows 10 source has been leaked. But reading that codes is still illegal for ReactOS development, so we might fire you if you read in the case. ---- Please don't read the leaked source. Thanks, Katayama Hirofumi MZ 片山博文MZ

ReactOS Hackfest 2017 - Are you in?
by Colin Finck 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hi all! I'm currently planning the ReactOS Hackfest 2017 in the Cologne/Bonn area in Germany. Currently, the plan is to book a meeting room from Monday, August 14 to Friday, August 18. We can then use the weekend before to get to Cologne and explore the city a bit. After the Hackfest, everybody interested can join us at FrOSCon in Bonn the weekend after. As booking a room there involves significant costs, I'd like to know who of you can definitely make it for the Hackfest and who of you is definitely out. Please reply now to prevent me from bugging you on IRC all the time! ;) Cheers, Colin

I have implemented short and simple WineTest-compatible client/server code in localspl_apitest. The server is the application that is tested through rosautotest. For every test, it starts the client, sends the test name over a pipe and outputs the received testing output. The client simply has stdout redirected to a pipe and can then use usual WineTest ok() functions for testing. Check out rostests/apitests/localspl (server) and rostests/apitests/localspl/dll (client). Hope that helps! - Colin

GPU testing machine is ready!
by Colin Finck 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi all! A picture says more than a thousand words: http://fs5.directupload.net/images/170613/u4d8a59a.png As promised in the last meeting, I have brought to life a machine for testing GPU drivers with real GPUs under ReactOS. It combines a QEMU virtual machine with PCIe GPU Passthrough together with a KVM-over-IP card for feeding the real video signal back to a window. What you see in the screenshot is a real NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GPU attached to a ReactOS VM. We can now test the NVIDIA driver installation while enjoying the easy debuggability of a VM. My first report is already out: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-13423 Every developer interested in working on this can drop me a line and I will send you credentials for the server. Soon I will also add an AMD Graphics Card along with another KVM-over-IP card to let us debug the other big driver package. Thanks go out to Mr. Kromdijk for the generous server donation, Christoph for the KVM-over-IP card, and Hervé for the QEMU hints! Let's all get some flashy 3D acceleration into ReactOS!! :) Cheers, Colin

That looks like it's purely hiding bugs.
