Status Meeting (August 2018)

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Let me invite you to the August 2018 meeting, taking place this Thursday, August 30, 2018 at 19:00 UTC. Invited members will again receive their credentials shortly before the meeting. The current agenda is: 1. Status Reports (extended) Note that this is the first meeting after both GSoC and the Hackfest. Participants in either effort are encouraged to also report their related work, what they liked and didn't like about GSoC/ Hackfest, and what we could do better next time. As always, I'm open for additional proposals. I also have to announce that I will definitely be unavailable during the entire September, so someone else has to invite for and lead the September meeting. Best regards, Colin

Test_VBox finally fixed - but a flawed test remains

by Colin Finck

Hi all, I took some time during Hackfest to upgrade our Test_VBox Testbot to Ubuntu 18.04, which finally brings us VirtualBox 5.2.x support for sysreg2. Pierre also worked on the relevant BuildBot scripts to improve their reliability. This has resulted in https://github.com/reactos/buildbot_config/commit/388a831eb5ccf67535d8cbd6d… and since using that script, the infamous "IVirtualBox object is null" bug hasn't occurred again :) The upgrade from VirtualBox 4.3.40 to 5.2.10 also resulted in unbearably slow serial port output at first, but this could be fixed by https://github.com/reactos/sysreg2/commit/a4eb4a4551618b4af4dc1985ad8c55fe0…. Have a look at this commit if you encounter a slow serial port output in one of the latest VirtualBox versions with either operating system. This only leaves a funnily flawed WINE test left, which currently causes the entire regression testing process to come to a standstill: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-14975 Cheers, Colin

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [WLNOTIFY] Add sens service stubs

Postponing the July Meeting

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Looking at the calendar, it would be time for the July Meeting today. However, I didn't receive any agenda proposals and also forgot to announce it in the course of releasing 0.4.9. So I suggest we postpone the meeting to next week's Thursday, August 2. Please send agenda proposals by then. That meeting also allows us to handle last-minute planning regarding the Hackfest. Best regards, Colin
