Brainstorming about testing team, roadmap and ReactOS usability
by victor martinez 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

First of all sorry because i dont have idea how to follow a thread when answering one post. And i didnt find any info about how to do that :) Now about the Topic: Some days ago I made one Wiki Page which ( I hope) could be useful for Testing purposes. It was created just to share suggestions among Devs and Testers about it. Here it´s: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_Central The idea is to have a Main Testing page which leads to proper Bugzilla reports, (as an online newspaper which sums up the info in Headers and clicking on them redirects to Full description),also it can help to have info of the same App together so we can track working/no working Apps instead working/no working Bugs(which is Bugzilla Work). To sum up the Wiki page is divided in 3 sections: 1)Testing Apps: In an easy way we can find which Bugs are preventing the Apps working, and easily redirect to the Bugzilla reports. I think this is (almost) Aleksey proposal. The table has the following Cols: Tester Name, App Name,Revision,4 columns for the 3 VM+RH, Bug Installing,Bug Working. 2)Developer Request: This is a Post-it Table. Here any Dev can write any request (related with testing),so it creates a small TODO list for Testers. Of course it can link to other Wikipages. (i.e : Aicom request about testing Network cards fits here) I have seen a lot of Dev requests in Bugzilla (i.e: "please test this TestBox", or "please test more Apps which uses Pipes", etc...), there isnt any search option to find these requests in Bugzilla, so this Table could track them. The table has the following Cols: DEV,Request,Application/TestBox,Way of Testing,Tester, LRT (Last Revision Tested),RESULT 3)Regression Testing: When a Regression is found a Regression Search begins, or maybe not..because the Tester/Dev doesnt have time enough to begin with it. To avoid losing this info the Regression Testing Table is created, you can fill it with a Regression you have found and other testers can work in it. But the main objective is to Coordinate efforts among Testers, so in Real Time Testers who are performing a regression test doesnt waste time: Testers can see which Revisions are being tested and which is the current Gap so they can guess which is the best revision to test. Also if one Regression Search (by any chance or missing builds ;) ) was left without finding the guilty revision,we will have a GAP for future testing. The table has the following Cols: Name,Regression,4 columns for the 3 VM+RH,Works Rev,Fails Rev,Current Testing. Any comments,suggestions,or criticisms are wellcome. For a full detailed description visit the Wiki page :)..it´s just a prototype and of course un-official.

Different repository for web stuff
by Aleksey Bragin 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi, how about using a different repository for all web-specific stuff we have? Vendor drops of web apps, whole trunk/web, etc. All of these are totally unrelated (in terms of repository-internal relations) with the actual OS components. Current situation went from long time ago when there was only one repository possible. It's been a long time since we migrated to svn:// svn.reactos.org/repostiory/... path, so it's possible now. rosweb, or web could be a name for a new one. Comments are welcome. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

+1 I'd like to see all the non-OS stuff put in a separate repository, including the promotional stuff in /media.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [fireball] 40368: - Compile UniATA with stdcall default calling convention instead of cdecl.

Please don't do this. -MRTD has NOTHING to do with stdcall and has been broken since gcc 2.9.5 Best regards, Alex Ionescu On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 7:46 AM, <fireball(a)svn.reactos.org> wrote: > Author: fireball > Date: Sun Apr 5 15:46:53 2009 > New Revision: 40368 > > URL: http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos?rev=40368&view=rev > Log: > - Compile UniATA with stdcall default calling convention instead of cdecl. > > Modified: > trunk/reactos/drivers/storage/ide/uniata/uniata.rbuild > > Modified: trunk/reactos/drivers/storage/ide/uniata/uniata.rbuild > URL: > http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/drivers/storage/ide/uniata… > > ============================================================================== > --- trunk/reactos/drivers/storage/ide/uniata/uniata.rbuild [iso-8859-1] > (original) > +++ trunk/reactos/drivers/storage/ide/uniata/uniata.rbuild [iso-8859-1] Sun > Apr 5 15:46:53 2009 > @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ > <bootstrap installbase="$(CDOUTPUT)" /> > <include base="uniata">.</include> > <include base="uniata">inc</include> > + <compilerflag>-mrtd</compilerflag> >  > <library>ntoskrnl</library> > <library>hal</library> > >

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [tkreuzer] 40306: win32k brush update: - fix EBRUSHOBJ_vSetSolidBrushColor - Initialize text and background brush in DC_AllocDC - Update the DCs EBRUSHOBJs on demand - Use the DCs EBRUSHOBJs for drawing where appropriate This makes things faster and finally adds support for DC_BRUSH and DC_PEN

Evgeniy Boltik complains that EBRUSHOBJ_vInit is necessary because it has something to do with changing brush color or palette. He's going to file a bug about it in BZ. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

That was from bug 4294, and test app was in bug 4294 too. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Partitions support in usetup
by Aleksey Bragin 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I researched my partition problem (in my hardware setup, I have an IDE harddisk, which has 3 primary partitions, and I don't want to use the first partittion), and sharing my findings. So far, kernel and drivers have all necessary support and the problem is in usetup directly. Right now, it stores information about partition tables in a linked list of PARTENTRY structures, and displays ONLY the information about the first out of 4 possible partititions in that entry. I checked with Windows 2003 installation CD, it showed me all my partitions as they are, without limiting me anyhow. And certainly it allows installation on any of those partitions. Anyone volunteers to fix this problem properly? WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Google Summer of Code
by Aleksey Bragin 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hi, I'd like to let you know our application has not been accepted into Google Summer of Code, for the third time in a row. I attached an (autogenerated) reply, which encourages us to reapply for future instances of the program. I would not find a better way to express sarcasm than asking us to reapply in future. Amongst accepted organizations there are: WinLibre - a distribution of opensource software for Windows platform. Battle for Wesnoth - a free turn based strategy game. Umit - a frontend for a network scanner (one of their GSoC ideas is to create a "Umit Assistant" which would look like a Clippit - the animated assistant that features Microsoft Office). TurboGears - a web framework written in Python. Thousand Parsec - a bunch of games based on a common framework for building turn based space empire building games. Systers: Woman in computing - a community of women in computing. For some strange reason the founding person is "Robin". Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence - non-profit org founded to develop safe artificial intelligence software and to raise awareness of dangers of AI technologies. I just stated a few examples. I highly value those projects, however I just can't understand that yet another framework in python, or a game engine for a turnbased strategies, or a collection of FOSS software for Windows with a package manager (which we already have, and which could have been improved), or an institution which believes that AI takes over the world and tries to stop that are way more important than supporting an organization whose product would be of use for millions of people, and would create a real alternative operating system compatible with the vast majority of existing software and hardware. Our friendly OS project Haiku gets accepted every year, so being an OS is not a problem. Wine is certainly accepted every year from the beginning, and this year is not an exception. So it's definately not a problem of "legal fear" of Microsoft. What is the problem then? I leave it to you to decide what's the problem. However, as for me, I see Google Summer of Code is nothing close to supporting free software world, but rather an expensive way of advertising. I want to hope I am wrong. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin ReactOS Foundation President. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <socghop.noreply(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 12:48 AM Subject: Thank you for your application To: xxx(a)reactos.org Hi Aleksey Bragin, Thank you for submitting "ReactOS" organization application to Google Summer of Code 2009. Unfortunately, we were unable to accept your organization's application at this time. We received many more applications for the program than we are able to accommodate, and we would encourage you to reapply for future instances of the program. Best regards, Google Open Source Programs

debug builds
by Gabriel ilardi 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi everyone, Lately I wanted to use latest debug builds to do some testing but they weren't yet available, can't we upload them before doing the tests? This way they'd be ready sooner for us to use... Regards, Gabriel. _________________________________________________________________ Quante ne sai?
