Hello,
my experience with git so far boils down to a 1:1 relationship of the repositories.
- Global repository on the company's MS TFS.
- Local repository on my development machines.
Now I'm dealing with a 3 relationship.
- Project repository (Reactos) on Github.
- Developer repository (fork / <user>/reactos) on Github.
- Local repository on my development machine.
I still need to learn how to use this feature.
Please be patient.
Greetings
Raymond
Hello,
my name is Raymond.
I have a patch for you, with a reimplentation of IsReactOS() in reactos/sdk/include/psdk/versionhelpers.h.
This function was marked FIXME.
The old check with installation directory is error prone.
My implementation read the field "ProductName" of VersionsInformation resource from shell32.dll.
A second problem, I have found in reactos/dll/win32/comdlg32/filedlg.c.
Duplicates in the function filedlg_collect_places_pidls().
My resolve used a little function collection in the files cstrlist.c and cstrlist.h.
In filedlg-snipped.c is the new code.
I don't know if this approach is desirable and where such helper functions should be placed.
So decide for yourself about their use.
I hope this little step is a good begin.
Greetings
Raymond
Dear ReactOS developers,
I am working on WinDRBD (https://github.com/LINBIT/windrbd), which is a
port of the Linux DRBD 9 driver to the Windows family of operating systems.
Technically it is a compatibility layer for the Linux kernel functions that DRBD
uses.
I am currently researching if WinDRBD can be ported to Windows Server 2003
and also to ReactOS and found that the networking API we are using (WinSocket)
is only supported by Windows Vista (0x600) and up. Porting WinDRBD to ReactOS
would require using the TDI interface instead (everything else "should" work,
however I couldn't test it because it does not load currently into ReactOS).
My question is is there any ongoing effort to implement a WinSocket API?
If yes what is the status of this implementation?
Thanks for any insights,
Best regards,
- Johannes
Hi list,
This is not strictly ReactOS development per se but I used a large amount
of ReactOS code and it's at least spiritually related to ReactOS, so I'm
cross-posting this here to see if I get more comments. Below is the
original message I posted on the seL4 mailing list:
For the past several months I have been working on a project which is to
implement a Windows NT personality for the seL4 microkernel, which I have
now taken to call “Neptune OS”, named after the codename for Windows 2000.
The project has reached the point where I have implemented enough NT
primitives such that a keyboard driver stack (taken from the ReactOS source
code) can be loaded (as a user process on seL4), as well as a command
prompt (shell), which is also taken from the ReactOS source code (albeit a
very early version of ReactOS). These are all kernel-mode Windows device
drivers that I’m running as user processes under seL4. The goal is to
demonstrate that with modern progress in microkernel design it is indeed
possible to realize the original NT design as an object-oriented,
message-passing based client-server model microkernel OS (allegedly NT was
originally going to be a microkernel, as seen in the NTOSKRNL code that has
a ke layer and an ex layer).
The project is now on github: github.com/cl91/NeptuneOS. The entire system
fits in a floppy (download link:
github.com/cl91/NeptuneOS/releases/tag/v0.1.0001).
Check it out! I think it’s cool! For the next release I’m planning to port
the PCI stack, the AHCI stack, and a basic file system (probably
fastfat.sys).

hello sir,
I want +to ask about this had this idea been

if it is still open I will be happy to contribute in this project

Hello guys,
like last year we have a virtual booth on Chemnitz Linux Days. Like last
time things will happen in Work Adventure (https://workadventu.re/) and
will be full of people who most likley all will be able to talk english,
too.
So "sorry, I don't speak german..." does not count :P
Anyways, we have a conference room, too. (based on Jitsi or
BigBlueButton) We can create some kind of program what we will show and
when. This has to be finished until Feb 21st. Same goes for the guys who
wanna join. So I am open for ideas and guys with some spare time left.
More information can be found here: https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2022/en
And we have a public channel in MM for discussion:
https://chat.reactos.org/reactos/channels/clt-2022
So... please reply and show up for this Linux days adventure ^^ Some
presentation is always welcome, too. I will not hold a presentation like
last year where I decided to translate my german one on the fly. That
was... interesting.
