I agree. I think we need to draft up a process for unlocking code in the repository. The first port of call needs to be confirmation from the author. If the author confirms clean methods were utilised to write the code, it automatically fast tracks the audit. I know Arty has a good process for code which doesn't fall into this category. I'll try and get some sort of flowchart onto the wiki tonight.

All code shared with wine is clean by default. That doesn't necessarily mean it's unlocked. With the exception of 1 or 2 folders, I locked everything in the repository regardless of what it was. Wine stuff will need to be unlocked as and when required. I think it's best to wait until we have a formal unlocking flowchart before we unlock any more code. There have already been 1 or 2 mistakes which we will now have to back-track.

Re: FAT patents again... Global and High Performance File Systems

Reminds me... didn't OS/2 have the capability to store both short and long file names on a FAT16 partiton? How does that go with MS' patents?

I just have a question about High Performance and Global file systems implementation in a ReactOS version? It would be wonderful to cluster file systems on ReactOS. Also support for EFS would be great. Any plans yet?

locking files for the audit.
by Ged Murphy 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

I have now started locking unaudited files in the repository. A special user called 'audit' has been created to do this lock. There are two reasons for this: 1. The user who locks the file can still commit without unlocking. Having a separate user to lock files removes this issue. 2. All developers can have the username and password for locking, providing a system wide user to lock files. (ask Fireball for the u/n & p/w) How do you lock files? I'll list the method for tortoise-svn via the GUI. Die hard cmd line gurus can adapt it to suit :) - Firstly, go into your tortoise-svn settings and on the general page, click 'clean now' for Subversion authentication data. This will remove your current u/n & p/w - To 'get a lock' on the file(s), right click the file / directory , navigate to tortoise-svn and select 'get lock'. Getting a lock will trigger svn to contact the server automatically and apply the lock. - Next pick the file / directory you just locked and right click. Select file properties and under the subversion tab add 'svn:needs-lock' from the combo box. Add a '*' for the value, check the recursive box and click set. This will ensure all locked files which are checked out are set as read only locally. This is just used as a handy reminder. - You can now commit the files which will add the svn:needs-lock property, however ensure that on the commit dialog, the 'keep locks' checkbox is selected otherwise it will remove the lock you just placed. Once I've audited the code, how do I unlock the files? This is done as your regular username, not as the 'audit' user, so you can clean the 'audit' username / password in the same manner as before if you opted to save it. Again, I'll list the tortoise method. - Right click on the file / directory you want to unlock, navigate to tortoiseSVN and select 'check for modifications' - Select the file(s) you want to unlock, right click and select 'break the lock'. SVN will automatically contact the repo and unlock the files. - Don't forget to remove the svn:needs-lock property from the files to ensure they are no longer checked out as read only. I have so far locked the kernel, however I'm unsure if : 1. we're just gonna lock everything in one go (this would make life easy to start with) and unlock everything as we deem it to be OK 2. lock only dirs we thing need auditing and unlock once clean. I personally prefer option 1 as it ensures we don't miss anything, and would probably be quicker in the long run. Regards, Ged.

ReactOS build problems...
by Neal Gompa 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

I downloaded the latest ReactOS SVN today, and I attempted to compile it with the RosBE. What happened was that the mingw32-make program shows this message: "makefile.auto:47549: *** missing separator. Stop."... Well, I figured that I got an incomplete build, so I reran TortoiseSVN and it said that I had the complete distribution... This should be fixed so that ReactOS will build, and if anyone is thinking... It occurs in all different building syntax... all, livecd, bootcd, install, depends, etc. fail with the same message...

RE: [ros-dev] Audit for non-code things?

Only WineMine is taken from Wine. Our Solitaire is a project Steven found and gained the authors permission to include it. TaskManager was written by Brian IIRC, for ReactOS. The notepad icon was taken from notepad2 which is GPL. It is assumed that anything from other GPL projects is legal and interchanagble. If there is a copyright issue, I can change it. -----Original Message----- From: theUser BL [mailto:theuserbl@hotmail.com] Sent: 02 March 2006 12:24 To: ros-dev(a)reactos.org Subject: [ros-dev] Audit for non-code things? I have tried out the SVN-Snapshot of ROS 3.0 by EmuandCo: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1741#14146 At first, I want to say, that the ReactOS-Explorer looks a lot of nicer. And some bugs are fixed. Nice work. Then I have looked at the program-icons. sol.exe and winefile.exe seems to use icons from old Windows-Versions (Windows 3.x/95/98/NT4). And with taskmgr.exe I am not sure, if the icon is from Windows or at own designed. All three programs comming from WINE and not from ReactOS. But is legal to using it? More woders me the new ReactOS Notepad. If you click on Help -> About, then there opens a window where stands: Icon borrowed from Notepad2 - http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html But Notepad2 have borrowed it from Microsofts WindowsXP Notepad. It is funny to see, how the original creater of the icon, isn't named - but instead of it, an other one is named. But the program notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) is OpenSource (GPL) and thats icon you could be used. After that, I looked with Microsofts fontview.exe (the program is part of every MS-Windows) in the text inside the fonts of ROS. There are copyrighted fonts by Adobe, Bitstream, IBM, Sun and Transgaming. And there are some Bitstream fonts in which stands: Copyright 1990 as an unpublished work by Bitstream Inc.

compilation problems :(
by Felipe Villarroel 05 Mar '06

05 Mar '06

Hi everybody!!!!!, i'm trying to compile ReactOS SVN 0.3 but i'm having problems. I'm currently using the ReactOS Build Enviroment 0.1-3.4.2 but it is unable to compile rbuild. In fact the compilation process stops at linking rbuild.exe. I have created a directory in my D drive (rossrc) and i have downloaded from the SVN the sources in d:\rossrc\trunk. So i changed the directory to d:\rossrc\trunk\reactos and executed mingw32-make. Then it began compiling the sources and after a while it stops with a lot of garbage: [LD] output-i386\tools\rbuild\rbuild.exe plus lots of errors about undefined resources that i put at the end of this email. I currently reinstalled the Build Enviroment hoping that something was installed wrong o was wrongly configured. But the same results appeared. I also tried to compile it under the administration account, because i currently run as user, but there are no changes whatsoever (just trying to check that it isn't my fault or my incompetence :P). I blame the linker for this problem, but i don't know what is wrong with it, because its a known fact that some versions of binutils dont work but clearly RosBE has been tested a lot. thanks in advance, Logan_V8 PS: Garbage output from the linker obj-i386\tools\rbuild\backend\msvc\msvcmaker.o: In function `ZSt11__copy_aux2IPS sS0_ET0_T_S2_S1_12__false_type':

Audit for non-code things?
by theUser BL 03 Mar '06

03 Mar '06

I have tried out the SVN-Snapshot of ROS 3.0 by EmuandCo: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1741#14146 At first, I want to say, that the ReactOS-Explorer looks a lot of nicer. And some bugs are fixed. Nice work. Then I have looked at the program-icons. sol.exe and winefile.exe seems to use icons from old Windows-Versions (Windows 3.x/95/98/NT4). And with taskmgr.exe I am not sure, if the icon is from Windows or at own designed. All three programs comming from WINE and not from ReactOS. But is legal to using it? More woders me the new ReactOS Notepad. If you click on Help -> About, then there opens a window where stands: Icon borrowed from Notepad2 - http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html But Notepad2 have borrowed it from Microsofts WindowsXP Notepad. It is funny to see, how the original creater of the icon, isn't named - but instead of it, an other one is named. But the program notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) is OpenSource (GPL) and thats icon you could be used. After that, I looked with Microsofts fontview.exe (the program is part of every MS-Windows) in the text inside the fonts of ROS. There are copyrighted fonts by Adobe, Bitstream, IBM, Sun and Transgaming. And there are some Bitstream fonts in which stands: Copyright 1990 as an unpublished work by Bitstream Inc. All rights reserved. Confidential. Confidential? Unpublished? From where comes then the fonts? The fonts in which this stand are c0419bt_.ttf, c0582bt_.ttf, c0583bt_.ttf, c0611bt_.ttf, c0632bt_.ttf, c0633bt_.ttf, c0648bt_.ttf and c0649bt_.ttf. Ok, the Copyright is from 1990 (for 16 years!), but is it legal to use this fonts? Instead you could use the following fonts: http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/ http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/ http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_li… Greatings theuserbl

> From: art yerkes > > No we imported X fonts where permitted and used TGMarlett for > window titles (also permitted, see media/fonts/doc) Executive summary: There's no problem with the fonts. Details: Jason imported helb___.ttf and timr____.ttf in r1877 from OpenOffice (LGPL, so GPL compatible). I imported the Bitstream Vera fonts (Vera.ttf, VeraBI.ttf, VeraBd.ttf, VeraIt.ttf, VeraMoBI.ttf, VeraMoBd.ttf, VeraMoIt.ttf, VeraMono.ttf, VeraSe.ttf, VeraSeBd.ttf) in r4689. They are covered by the license in media/fonts/doc/VERA-COPYRIGHT.TXT. Steven imported TGMarlett.ttf in r9427. The "TG" refers to Trans Gaming. The font is under a X11 license (see http://www.transgaming.com/gamefaq.php?specialid=3 under 6.2) which is GPL compatible. Art imported some of the X fonts (UTBI____.ttf, UTB_____.ttf, UTI_____.ttf, UTRG____.ttf, c0419bt_.ttf, c0582bt_.ttf, c0583bt_.ttf, c0611bt_.ttf, c0632bt_.ttf, c0633bt_.ttf, c0648bt_.ttf, c0649bt_.ttf, cour.ttf, courb.ttf, courbi.ttf ) in r10143.

Feature Request: Intel EFI support
by Rick Langschultz 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

I was wondering if there was any plan on implementing Intel's EFI in the near or distant future. I hear that Intel wants to move away from BIOS and work more closely with EFI. I know that support for the BIOS will never totally disappear but EFI is a better architecture in my opinion. So here is my request for EFI support in ReactOS.

I had this same problem when developing my bootsector. When I reset the bootdrive before I jumped to freeldr the problem went away. I think that the first thing that freeldr needs to is to reset the boot drive before it moves on.

Does the definition of "audit" in the pharse > mean the code needs to be looked through and documented and > bad code be marked. Or does it mean all that and the marked > code needs to be rewritten for it to be considered "audited". Here is my understanding (although I'm not saying it's correct) First of all, we must take the authors word on whether something needs auditing or not. If a particular author says the code which he wrote is clean, then this automatically bypasses the audit. This clears up James' worry about his dll code which he has declared clean. If an author can't be contacted, it is classes as unknown and must go through the audit process. Once we have a list of all code which has not been verified, a new SVN user is generated and he is used to lock all the code (this is done with a separate user to avoid certain features of SVN lock) Any developer is able to remove a lock. Locking the code only really acts as a reminder that the code has not passed an audit. This code shouldn't be modified / improved until it has done so. The lock therefore ensures all the code is audited and nothing is missed. It also acts as an incentive to get the code audited. Without the lock, I think it will be conveniently forgotten about..... Once code has been locked how does it get out of locked status? I think there are 3 possibilities: - look through the code looking for anything even remotely strange. (I think Alex's description which I have linked to the end of this mail makes some good points). If all the code seems perfectly legitimate, it passes the audit and the lock is removed. - If code doesn't seem legitimate, search for documentation. If docs are found to cater for all the questionable code, the docs are added and the code passes audit. - If the code doesn't seem legitimate and docs can't be found, then the code is deemed dirty and further action must be taken (e.g. part of the code rewritten, all the code rewritten, docs written, etc). This would have to be discussed at greater length.

Vote: code auditing
by Ged Murphy 24 Feb '06

24 Feb '06

Vote topic : Ensure code auditing is carried out Start date : 16/02/06 Period : 7 days discussion, 7 days voting With the success of proposal B in the recent vote and the old repository reopening for business, we need to discuss ways to ensure the code is audited and doesn't take a backseat. Following the correct voting procedure, there will be a 7 day discussion period, followed by a 7 day voting period. Until this decision is made, I propose for the repository to be fully open, with developers being diligent with their actions. This topic has been discussed somewhat between developers, although not extensively. Two viable proposals have so far been put forward and are as follows : A - The repository is completely open to all development and ReactOS developers must take it upon themselves to ensure all code is audited. B - Sections of ReactOS which require auditing are 'locked', that being that the source is fully available to download and build, but no development work should be undertaken until the said code has passed the audit. The lock will be removed only when that section of code has been audited. Discussion of these topics and any further proposals should be in reply to this topic.

Audit documentation
by art yerkes 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

How do we feel about having the documentation directory from the casper tree (the one where audit documentation is being written) moved to svn://svn.reactos.ru/reactos/trunk/documentation? -- Discordant is the murmur at such treading down of lovely things while god's most lordly gift to man is decency of mind. Call that man only blest who has in sweet tranquility brought his life to close. If only I could act as such, my hope is good. -- Aeschylus' Agamemnon (translated by H. W. Smyth)

Boomerang
by theUser BL 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

At http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2006-February/007878.html and on other places there is mentioned, that the way to audit is, to look at the ReactOS-Source-Code, look if it looks understandable. The problem is, that is possible, that people disasseble MS-Windows-code and port then the Assembler-Code in stupid C code. And - because (not clean room) reverse engineering isn't allowed - all code, which looks stupd will be eliminated. That was also discussed in a german forum. There someone have at http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/go.shtml?read=1&msg_id=9920469&forum_i… discribed, how a normal C program can be compiled to assebler code and an other people create stupied C code, where you can see, that it was reverse engineered. But in the same forum, someone have mentioned, that there existing decompiler like Boomerang http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/ which creates from binary code logical, easy to read C code. (Don't know before, that something like this exists). Have a look at http://boomerang.sourceforge.net/cando.php I want with this mail only to say, that it would be very hard to find the reverse engineered code (if there existing one).

Virtual Encrypted File System (VEFS)
by Rick Langschultz 20 Feb '06

20 Feb '06

Through an intriguing article on Slashdot I have read that ipods are now being used for things other than audio. They are being used to obtain data from a computer, and computer network obtaining business documents and such in seconds. One way to make ReactOS a safer operating environment is to use a virtual encrypted file system that would restrict the copying of files to any usb, or network device via an encryption algorithm. So I propose a VEFS that would restrict this. The VEFS would disallow the passage of documents to any removable device unless the user has permission to archive them, which would be the "a" attribute. The VEFS would make use of two AES encryption algorithms which would encrypt the file's contents. One being a key another a lock, however the user must provide a password to unlock and decrypt the files. This would allow the user to unlock the files, only if they have the password. This would also allow users to secure their personal and corporate data. Any ideas?
