Does React OS have function Stubs for unimplemented Windows NT 4.0 API?
Does React OS log an attempted call to an unimplemented API, tell the
user where to find it in the source tree? I believe this would help
speed up the development process of ROS.
Hello ros-dev audience
A new vote was started by Royce3 on the forum. The topic is 'Chocolate in ReactOS official cheesecake?'. The vote will last one week.
You can get directly to the vote with this link: http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9106

Does anyone have any objections to this?
If not, I will start to move the following into rosapps tonight:
binpatch
cat
driver
dumprecbin
infinst
nts2w32err
objdir
partinfo
patchnv4
pice
pnpdump
sc
sdkparse
stats
theme
tickcount
Should we bring in a selection of apps which are considered core to windows:
comp
find
mode
more
sort
What do we think about Solitaire and WineMine? Should they be left in
rosapps for release builds only?
They are certainly core to my Windows experience though :)

More efficient development
The development coordinator should work on identifying inefficiencies within the project and should work on providing solutions for
the identified inefficiencies. The analysis should be done from a project-wide perspective. What may seem to be more efficient for a
few project members, may cause even more inefficiency amongst several other project members and thus result in overall lower
productivity within the project. The development coordinator should consider this when drafting proposals for more efficient
development practices. The development coordinator should work on improving both the processes and the tools which are used in the
development.
Spread the knowledge
Being a volunteer effort, the project members come and go, perhaps more often than in your average commercial development project.
This makes it even more important to the success of the project, that knowledge is preserved within the project in the event that a
project member is leaving the project. The development coordinator should work on improving the processes for spreading knowledge
within the project.
Education
The experience of the project members is important to an open source development project like ReactOS, just like it is to commercial
development projects. The development coordinator should work on improving the processes for educating the project members.

You couldn't be further from the truth. It actually makes a great deal of
sense.

The rbuild code is fine, it's your environment which is wrong.

I've had a fix for this for a while, but because it's been in rosapps, I'd
forgotten about it.
I agree with Alex's earlier comment. This is essentially a core app and
should at least be moved into /reactos/apps, if not /reactos/subsys/system.
Maybe we should also consider moving some apps which are in /reactos/apps
over to /rosapps too, as there are some odd ones in there which are not core
apps, even a unix tool or two :-o

Hi!
I think we've discussed enough to start the vote on the new voting
method. The two options to vote are:
1. Future votings will be held on the forum. As always only the
commiters can vote but everyone can read the voting forum. The forum
will send a mail to ros-dev everytime a thread (a vote) is created in
the voting forum, so the people that don't track the forums will get
informed too. Every other rule that concerns voting will stay the same.
2. Keep the old voting system.
As always only commiters are allowed to vote. The vote will last 5 days.
Greetings
Michael
A new version of ReactOS has arrived on SourceForge.Net
Release Candidate 2 of version 0.2.8 has been finished last night and
upped. As usual you're welcome to download and test.
At this space some personal note:
This is the first publish the new Releasemanager Brandon Turner did. For
an unknown time, he'll do all future releases, since I go on some longer
jorney. I'll not disappear from ROS but at least for some time. But I'm
coming back within a year or so.
When is this planned?
I thought it was Monday

Hi,
for a sample program, I have to specify a linker script file. I'm using the following xml-file:
<module name="lowalign" type="win32cui" installbase="bin" installname="lowalign.exe">
<include base="lowalign">.</include>
<define name="__USE_W32API" />
<file>lowalign.c</file>
<linkerflag>-Wl,-T,modules/myapps/lowalign/ldscript</linkerflag>
<linkerflag>-Wl,--file-alignment=0x80</linkerflag>
<linkerflag>-Wl,--section-alignment=0x80</linkerflag>
</module>
I would like it if I can remove the absolute path from the linker script file. Any ideas?
- Hartmut
This is just an idea - there's no need to go crazy and bombard me with
reasons why not.
Just a thought, wouldn't it be better to ask for all the data (in the
textual part of the setup for ReactOS) to be asked and then do all the
proccessing? At the moment, it goes like so:
* ....
* Ask questions about drives
* Apply drive stuff
* Ask question about location of ReactOS
* Apply ReactOS location (and copy files)
* Ask question about booting
* Apply booting stuff
* Reboot PC
Wouldn't it be better to do:
* ....
* Ask questions about drives
* Ask question about location of ReactOS
* Ask question about booting
* Apply drive stuff
* Apply ReactOS location (and copy files)
* Apply booting stuff
* Reboot PC
This is just an idea, remember.

I have looked at the successful Debian project for inspiration
on how to make decisions in a large distributed project like
ReactOS. I have drafted a constitution for the ReactOS project
which is similar to the Debian project constitution. You may
find it here: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Constitution.
The constitution explains the decision making entities, their
abilities and the decision making processes of the ReactOS
project.
Feel free to comment, suggest changes, etc.

This breaks the build:
lib\advapi32\service\scm.c: In function `ChangeServiceConfigW':
lib\advapi32\service\scm.c:149: warning: implicit declaration of function
`ScmrChangeServiceConfigW'
I've disabled the code in r18735.

Using LOADLIN with FreeLDR didn't work to load ReactOS from DOS, so I
remembered the GRUB4DOS program.
Please download but don't distribute in any way the following file (this
is just a demo, I don't feel like listing sites for sourcefiles)
http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/freeldr.img
bootsequence:
1) bootfloppy
2) FreeDOS bootsector (see kernel ; GPL )
3) FreeDOS kernel (kernel 2035A, www.freedos.org ; GPL )
4) FreeDOS command.com (FreeCOM, see www.fdos.org/kernel ; GPL )
5) Batchfile (autoexec.bat, see below ; just a script, public domain thus)
6) GRUB (compresses nicely with UPX ; GPL)
7) FreeLDR (compresses nice with zip, but not bootable then. Can't be
compressed by UPX unfortunately)
Same configuration can be done on harddisk, I think (fat32 also???),
which means you can now boot FreeLDR from harddisk even without a
FreeLDR realmode install program or associated bootsector.
configuration might be even more lightweight if I omitted FreeCOM
(command.com) and used
"SHELL=A:\GRUB.EXE --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys" instead.
Some small misc. bugs on ReactOS:
FreeLDR: Title part has issues when it's too long, overwrites Brian
Palmer's name, and at right side it's cut-off
CMD: why does "EXIT /?" (give helpscreen for EXIT command) close the
cmd-window?
@echo off
cdd a:\
echo.
echo Welcome to FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org)
echo Booting FreeLDR 2.0.0 through GRUB4DOS. Press CTRL-C to abort or
pause
grub --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys
I was looking at the Wiki's "New Homepage Content", and it mentioned
you needed volunteers, to scan the mailing lists, etc, for a useful
end-of-week Newsletter.
Well, I'd like to volunteer. I use Gmail to subscribe to The ROS and
VLC lists, and it presents Emails as Conversations, minimising search
time for specific parts of an email. That, and I religiously digest
what I can, both on ROS, ROS-Dev, and the ROS-Dev SVN Commits.
I'd like to do something to help contribute to ReactOS, and a Weekly
Newsletter sounds quite appealing. I've done the odd article for a few
IRL ones, so this is hopefully taking the next logical step.
I've got a good grasp of English (Or so I'd like to think, but I swear
the typo demon is about to leap out of my keyboard, and remove an "e"
when I least expect it...), and good English is an excellent way to
tell a user, "Wow, these guys aren't just another amateur batch of
programmers!"
So.. yeah, consider me Vounteered.

As you might know this is the last release Robert will be able to do for
a while(long term). So I will be trying to fill his spot while he is
gone. Monday works out for us to be the best time where we can work
together and he can show me everything that goes into packaging the
release. Because of this we are going to do RC2 on this day. I need
the experience and to learn from him other wise I will go into doing it
blind. I know there is a lot of talk about deciding when to release and
such. And no vote was taken on this, but we are stuck between a rock
and a hard spot. Please understand why this decision was made. Feel
free to express your views on this, and if there is over whelming
opposition we can probably work something out.

Hi,
since some days (weeks?), I get a nice error message during compilation, if I add the '-ftracer' switch:
gcc -c hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.c -o .\up\obj-i386\hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.o -Ihal\halx86\include -Intoskrnl\include

I can fix the problem
a) if I remove one of the case statements after line #514 in mpconfig.c or
b) if I remove the return statement at line #542 in mpconfig.c.
I'm using gcc 3.4.2 for windows.
Does someone see the same bug?

Hi,
A lot of people have requested to see try out the new ws2_32.dll binary.
It's not complete yet, and I know the following applications don't work:
- Possibly all cygwin apps that use fork() and sockets
- tracert, and other XP applications which use getnameinfo().
IE6, Filezilla, Thunderbird, Firefox, MIRC, MSN, Outlook Express all
work for me, but I'd be interested in other big applications that have
trouble.
Instructions:
1) Unzip zip file contents to the directory of the program you wish to test
2) Create a blank file in that directory, named program.exe.local,
where program is the name of your app. Example: iexplore.exe.local
Please make sure that you are using Microsoft Windows XP or higher for
your tests.
I'd be happy to receive any news of application crashes or
incompatibilities. I'm most interested in games.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
PS. This is a debug build. It prints out a lot of debug messages if you
have a debugger attached and is also built without any optimizations. As
such, network throughput might be slower. This is normal.

I was able to install successfully the realtek 8138 nic using the
customized "netrtsnt.inf" file provided by hpoussin and to ping
www.reactos.org
The wiki driver page has to be updated accordingly as this is the
new/required method to install this nic with head
