As another poster stated having a "Dropline ReactOS" is not a bad thing provided that we setup standards on what has the right to be called "ReactOS" and what does not. If anyone making or distributing a custom version of ReactOS violates the standards we set forth then we have the right to refuse use of the name.

SM: a blocking bug I can't solve myself
by ea 14 Mar '05

14 Mar '05

There is a little piece of code I left in reactos/subsys/smss/initss.c that looks like harmless, but that actually crashes smss.exe and therefore the whole system. The code is in the function SmpRegisterSmss/0. I can't find myself the bug. The code is currently wrapped by a #if 0 ... #endif but it is needed to make the SM self register (to avoid other processaes claim they are the SM). Any hint is welcome! Emanuele

If they are not doing so then my vote is no. At the first offence we should warn them and then at the 2nd offence we should deny the use of the ReactOS name > [ ] No, only sourceforge and other official ReactOS distribution points > should be used.

I don't mind Alex having a remote branch to be able to maintain a public backup of his work. In fact I think all of the ReactOS developers should have public branches but I think that anytime a feature is implemented in a remote branch and another developer is blocked by said feature then the remote branch has to be merged with the trunk. For people like me that contribute little or no code other than minor bugfixes this may be overkill. This whole problem is that much of the development switched to his branch when it should have been merged to the trunk. Alex has admitted this and I think we have reached a middle ground.

Idea to save time in future - Language Support AndUse inReactos [non HTML - sorry for previous post]
by Radovan Skolnik 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

What you're saying is true however let me bring forth few points: 1. MUI only works one some Windows versions - true. However it runs basically on all Windows versions available today (Windows 98/Me is not your target) and Windows XP Home Edition as we all know is binary compatible with Windows XP so the limitation is only in version check. 2. You cannot get it free - true. But is this important? You cannog get Windows for free as well and still you're trying to clone it (rather succesfully). 3. Are you sure the API is not available? I believe it would be fairly easy to reasearch it even if it wasn't. 4. "So I think reactos must support least 2 langues at fly." Why limit yourself to 2 only? Why not 3 or 4? 5. "But why not deside which langues it will support when it compile." In my opinion this is answered very easily: a. Because you do not want to create ReactOS for power-users who are keen to compile stuff. If you need to compile it you'll scare newbies who just want the simplicity of their old Windows for free. b. Because it contradicts your initial requirement: "If you look at Amiga OS (Workbench 2.0 or higher) you can change the hole os langues when it was running." All in all: I think the M$ approach is really good one: scalable and easy to use. If you don't want to clone the API for whatever reason, clone the principle...

So I think reactos must support least 2 langues at fly. But why not deside which langues it will support when it compile. if you only want example english and french example you got it or you want all langues. you got it instead. when reactos are beign compile ? I have done a copy and paste from ms site http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/MUIFaq.mspx#MUIques1 read it about it here. What versions of Windows are supported by MUI? MUI was introduced in the Windows 2000 timeframe and is available for: a.. Windows 2000 Professional b.. Windows 2000 Server Family - often implemented in a Terminal Services environment c.. Windows XP Professional d.. Windows XP for Tablet PC e.. Windows Server 2003 Family f.. Windows XP Embedded MUI is not supported on consumer versions of Windows such as Windows 9x, Windows Me, and Windows XP Home Edition. What are the system requirements of Windows MUI? MUI is an add-on to the English version of Windows XP Professional and Windows 2000 family of operating systems, and will not install on localized versions of Windows XP/2000 or on Windows XP Home Edition. Every additional language installed will require approximately 115 MB extra disk space for Windows XP, 45MB for Windows 2000; East Asian language support requires an additional 250 MB. How can I acquire Windows MUI? The Windows XP/2000 MUI is sold only through Volume Licensing programs such as the Microsoft Open License Program (MOLP / Open), Select, and Enterprise agreement (or with a new computer as an OEM version at customer request).
