Hi all! Having converted the last ReactOS SVN repository (press-media) to Git today, we can finally call the entire Git migration done :) Well, probably it felt done for you for a long time, but I still struggled with that last repository until today. As I'm also about to migrate the Git/SVN server soon, I can finally tell you about the long-term availability of the old SVN repositories: * Access to svn.reactos.org over the svn:// protocol will soon be suspended. * Read-only access to the press-media, project-tools, reactos, and web SVN repositories at https://svn.reactos.org will be maintained. This allows you to continue looking up old SVN history whenever Git's log has problems tracking a file move. * Access to ViewVC at https://svn.reactos.org/svn and https://svn.reactos.org/viewcvs will be suspended as well. One less tool for us to maintain. Of course, I will again let you know when the actual migration is happening (or already over :)). Cheers, Colin

no replies about making reactos accessible for the blind

by Dick

Hi, I did not receive anny replies about my question to make reactos accessible for the blind. I would really suggest to do that while building the os, instead of doign it when the whole system is fully built.

Mail server downtime tomorrow

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Our mail server will be shut down for migration TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, AROUND 9:00 UTC This will result in a temporary downtime for the following services: * @reactos.org E-Mail addresses * Mailing lists * https://iserv.reactos.org The migration has already been prepared and simulated, so I expect the downtime to be low and the entire process to only take a few minutes. I will let you know when everything is back up again. We look forward to improve the performance, reliability, and especially maintainability through this migration. This probably just sounds like a pile of buzzwords to you, but there are hardly other words to describe a move from HDDs to SSDs, data replication on even more disks, and gaining independence from a single hypervisor hardware ;) Cheers, Colin

Distinguish between Windows and ReactOS

by Nick Surfer

Hello all. Sorry if this mail is off topic of the mail-list, but am not sure which one is right for my question. I am writing a program which needs to know exact environment in which it is running. In case of Windows I simply use GetVersionEx and then analyze dwMajorVersion + dwMinorVersion which is enough for my case (then I know which WIN API calls I should use). But I stuck how to recognize that my program runs in ReactOS. I failed to find any docs about it. Any help is appreciated. P.S. I am not well experienced in WIN API, so if someone gives me an example it will be great.

reactos & debug mode issue

by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo

Hello all, I have just noticed that ReactOS, when in debug configuration, will only boot if an output console is set up. Won't boot if minicom (for example) is not running... Is that expected?
